With bookings now open across BMW dealerships in the country, the refreshed iX1 Long Wheelbase stands poised to reinforce its position as one of India’s most sought-after premium electric vehicles.At the forefront of these updates is the addition of a new exterior shade: Night Dusk Blue metallic. This deep, rich blue finish elevates the SUV’s visual character, offering a sophisticated and modern aesthetic for customers looking to stand out. This brings the total color palette to four, joining existing options including Carbon Black, Mineral White, and Skyscraper Grey. The introduction of Night Dusk Blue expands BMW’s styling choices for the model, aligning with the growing demand for expressive and elegant color themes among EV buyers in India.The upgrades continue inside the cabin with two new upholstery options made from sustainably sourced vegan leather under BMW’s Veganza line. Buyers can now choose between Veganza Smoke White + Atlas Grey Dual Tone or the warm-toned Veganza Castanea. Both feature intricate 3D stitching patterns designed to enhance the tactile richness and premium aura of the interior. In line with BMW’s “Cocooning Effect” design philosophy, the selected upholstery theme extends across seats, door panels, the dashboard, and even the speaker mesh. This creates a seamless, harmonized cabin layout that emphasizes comfort and exclusivity.These customizations come at a time when the iX1 Long Wheelbase has rapidly emerged as BMW India’s highest-selling electric model. Within less than a year of its launch, the electric SUV has also claimed the title of the best-selling premium EV in India. BMW has been actively tailoring the model in response to customer preferences, previously adding features such as a Surround View Camera to enhance convenience and safety.Dimensionally, the iX1 Long Wheelbase continues to stand out in its class. Measuring 4,616 mm in length with a 2,800 mm wheelbase, it remains one of the longest five-seater electric SUVs available in the Indian market. This generous footprint translates into improved rear-seat comfort and ample cabin space, further contributing to its popularity among family buyers and luxury EV enthusiasts.Under the hood, the iX1 Long Wheelbase is equipped with BMW’s fifth-generation eDrive technology. The electric motor produces 204 PS and 250 Nm of torque, delivering smooth and responsive performance suitable for both city commutes and highway travel. It can go from 0 to 100 kmph in 8.6 seconds. Powering the SUV is a 66.4 kWh lithium-ion battery that promises a claimed driving range of up to 531 kilometers on a single charge under MIDC test conditions. The model also supports adaptive recuperation and one-pedal driving, optimizing efficiency and adding to the convenience of everyday driving. With the standard 11 kW AC charger, it takes 6 hr 45 min to go from 0% to 100% SOC. With a 130 kW DC fast charger, it goes from 10-80% in 32 minutes.With its latest enhancements, BMW India is positioning the iX1 Long Wheelbase as an even more compelling choice in the premium EV segment. The mix of new exterior styling, sustainable luxury interiors, and advanced electric performance makes the updated model a strong contender for buyers seeking a refined and future-ready electric SUV. Bookings for the updated iX1 Long Wheelbase are now officially open at BMW dealerships nationwide, offering customers the opportunity to experience these new features firsthand.
