Overview
- Fresh spy images show the iX1 adopting flush door handles, gutterless doors, new side glass, a higher bonnet, and an iX3-style nose with illuminated kidney grilles.
- The cabin appears to switch to BMW’s panoramic iDrive with a full-width head-up display, a four-spoke steering wheel, and a trapezoidal central touchscreen.
- Single- and dual-motor electric variants are expected for the revised iX1, while the company’s plans for a petrol-powered X1 remain unclear.
- The move reflects BMW’s broader investment to roll Neue Klasse-era design and centralized electronics across the lineup, with more than 40 launches or updates targeted by 2027.
- BMW is also reshaping its range as the Neue Klasse era begins, with the X4, 8-Series, and Z4 set to be retired over 2025–2026 according to configurator changes and company statements reported by Carscoops.
