BMW India is keeping things fresh with its electric lineup, and the latest to get a stylish update is the BMW iX1 Long Wheelbase (LWB). The premium electric SUV now gets a new exterior colour and two new upholstery choices, giving customers even more ways to personalize their ride. This update comes in response to customer feedback—and it’s now available for bookings at BMW dealerships across the country.
So, what’s new? Let’s break it down.
Colour
Let’s start with the most eye-catching change—the new paint job. BMW has added a striking Night Dusk Blue to the iX1 LWB’s colour palette. This deep, metallic blue adds a sense of elegance and modernity that perfectly complements the SUV’s premium electric design.
With this addition, the total number of exterior colour options now stands at four:
| Colour Option | Type |
|---|---|
| Night Dusk Blue | New Addition |
| Carbon Black | Existing |
| Mineral White | Existing |
| Skyscraper Grey | Existing |
Whether you want a subtle white or something bold like the new Night Dusk Blue, there’s now a shade for every personality.
Upholstery
The cabin isn’t left behind either. BMW has introduced two new vegan leather upholstery options for the iX1 LWB. Both variants are made using sustainably sourced materials and feature intricate 3D stitching patterns for a more luxurious look and feel.
Here are the two new options:
- Veganza Smoke White + Atlas Grey (dual-tone)
- Veganza Castanea
These aren’t just seat covers—they extend to the door panels, dashboard, and even the speaker mesh, thanks to BMW’s signature ‘cocooning effect’ design. The result? A seamless, modern cabin experience that wraps you in comfort from every angle.
Features
BMW has been consistently tweaking the iX1 LWB to meet customer expectations. Earlier this year, the model received a 360-degree camera system, and now, the cosmetic upgrades further enhance its appeal.
These feature additions ensure the iX1 stays up to date in a fast-evolving luxury EV segment where buyers are increasingly looking for not just performance, but personalization and tech-rich interiors.
Performance
Under the skin, the iX1 LWB remains unchanged—and that’s not a bad thing. It’s powered by BMW’s fifth-generation eDrive technology, delivering:
- Power: 204 bhp
- Torque: 250 Nm
- Battery: 66.4kWh (floor-mounted)
- Range: Up to 531 km (MIDC)
That kind of range puts it right up there with the best in its class, offering enough juice for both daily city commutes and long highway drives.
Dimensions
The BMW iX1 LWB is among the largest five-seat electric SUVs on the Indian market. It measures 4,616mm in length with a 2,800mm wheelbase, offering plenty of space inside for both passengers and luggage.
This long wheelbase translates to better rear-seat comfort, making it an ideal choice for those who want to be chauffeured—or just enjoy that extra bit of legroom on longer journeys.
| Dimension | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Length | 4,616mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,800mm |
| Battery Capacity | 66.4 kWh |
| Driving Range | Up to 531 km |
Verdict
The new update to the BMW iX1 Long Wheelbase is more than just cosmetic—it shows that BMW is listening to its customers and evolving with the times. With a new Night Dusk Blue paint, premium vegan leather interiors, and continued focus on sustainability and performance, the iX1 LWB is shaping up to be one of the most desirable luxury electric SUVs in India.
If you’re looking for a tech-rich, comfortable, and efficient EV with loads of personality, this updated iX1 could be just what you’re after.
