June 2022 will bring the third generation BMW X1. The compact crossover is the best selling model in the BMW SUV lineup and for the first time in its history it will feature an all-electric model. Dubbed BMW iX1, the new crossover will replace the i3 hatchback as the entry-level electrified BMW.
According to sources, the new BMW iX1 will offer both single and dual motor configurations, inline with the upcoming BMW i4 lineup. And just like the i4 and iX, the naming convention will be quite conventional. Pun intended. The rumors are that BMW will use the iX1 20 and iX1 30 names to differentiate between the models.
The upcoming 2022 BMW iX electric crossover was spotted earlier this week in South Carolina. Judging by its bodykit, this is likely the Essence Shadow Line with high-gloss Shadow Line exterior ornaments in black chrome. Since BMW will initially only bring the iX xDrive50 to the U.S., we’re likely looking at that specific model. Inside, there are three levels of design to choose from: Interior Design Loft, Interior Design Suite and Interior Design Atelier. Most of the materials used from trims, fabrics and leather upholsteries are manufactured out of renewable and/or sustainable materials, but there are also two choices of pure, real leather.
