BMW India has updated its electric SUV iX1 Long Wheelbase with a host of updates at the exterior and inside the cabin to enhance its appeal to the consumers. The range of updates introduced to the BMW iX1 Long Wheelbase have not changed the overall silhouette of the luxury electric SUV, but certainly add more appeal to it.

BMW iX1 Long Wheelbase: What's new?

The updated version of the BMW iX1 Long Wheelbase has received a new colour choice called Night Dusk Blue, which is a deep metallic shade, joining the existing colour options. The rest of the colour options for the BMW iX1 Long Wheelbase are Carbon Black, Mineral White, and Skyscraper Grey.

Inside the cabin, the BMW iX1 Long Wheelbase has added two new vegan leather upholstery choices: Veganza Smoke White + Atlas Grey dual-tone and Veganza Castanea. Both these two vegan leather upholstery options get a 3D stitching pattern. BMW claims the materials have been crafted from sustainably sourced elements. Besides that, the interior also gets BMW’s ‘cocooning effect’ design philosophy, which extends the upholstery colours beyond the seats to door panels, dashboard, and even the speaker mesh.

Powering the iX1 LWB is BMW’s fifth-generation eDrive technology. It develops 204bhp and 250Nm, paired with a 66.4kWh floor-mounted battery. The electric SUV offers a claimed driving range of up to 531km (MIDC). At 4,616mm long with a 2,800mm wheelbase, it is also one of the largest five-seat luxury electric SUVs available in India.
