Go to the store to explore the price. After the BMW iX1 discount, the landing price is within 200,000.

A few days ago, a fan in Hangzhou shared with me his car buying experience of just picking up a BMW iX1 

First-hand price information

He picked up the car on April 20 and bought the xDrive30L M sports package with a guide price of 339,900. When buying a car, the salesman directly quoted a discount of RMB 115,000 for full payment of the car. After price negotiation, the final discount was RMB 132,900 for full payment of the car, which is a bare car price of RMB 207,000, plus compulsory traffic insurance of RMB 950 and vehicle and vessel use tax of RMB 300. Yuan, commercial insurance 9,000 Yuan, license fee 1,000 Yuan, and the landing price of taking delivery of the car in full is 218,250 Yuan. It is worth mentioning that a charging pile is provided as a gift, and installation is included.

Seeing the prices in Hangzhou, I wanted to know the prices in Chongqing where I am. So, I went to the local BMW store to explore the price and took a test drive of the BMW iX1.

Just like this fan, the sales quote to me was a discount of 115,000 for the full payment of the car and a discount of 130,000 for the mortgage. The guide price range of BMW iX1 is 299,900-339,900. If the car is purchased in full, the current price quoted in the store is 184,900-224,900. Likewise, this price is negotiable, and I believe we can at least negotiate the same discount as this fan. In other words, if you buy a low-end model, the landing price of the fully paid-up car should be within 200,000.

Let’s talk about driving experience

Then, I requested a test drive. Let’s first introduce the power configuration of BMW iX1. Its power is divided into two versions, namely eDrive25L, equipped with a front single motor. The parameters of the motor are a maximum horsepower of 204 horses and a maximum torque of 250 N·m. The manufacturer’s marked time to break 100 kilometers is 8.6 seconds, and xDrive30L is equipped with front and rear dual motors. The combined parameters of the dual motors are a maximum horsepower of 313 horses and a maximum torque of 494 N·m. The manufacturer’s 100- mark time is 5.7 seconds.

The configuration of the test car was xDrive30L. After about 10 kilometers of test drive, I was deeply impressed by three features of the BMW iX1. The first is power. The power gives me the feeling that the response is very direct. The power is output with the action of pressing the accelerator pedal, which is easy to control.

The second is the steering. Because I like driving, I am more sensitive to the feel of the steering wheel. The BMW iX1 uses a pure circular three-spoke steering wheel, which turns smoothly. At the same time, the feedback of the steering damping is linear, which is also easy to control.

The third is the chassis. The suspension structure of the BMW iX1 is MacPherson strut in the front and multi-link in the rear. It is a sports-style adjustment. During dynamic driving such as lane changing and steering, the body's following performance is smooth.

Let’s talk about static experience

Let me share with you the performance of BMW iX1 in other aspects. In terms of space, the length, width and height of the BMW iX1 are 4616*1845*1641mm, the wheelbase is 2802mm, and it adopts a 5-seater design.

During the test drive, its front-seat space felt quite loose to me. Because its body width is 1845mm, there is good lateral space for the main driver's seat and passenger seat.

The design of the storage space in the front row is quite interesting. The central armrest box is eliminated and an open storage space is made under the armrest.

Sitting in the back row, I found that the angle of the backrest can be adjusted. There is a bulge in the center of the rear floor, but it is not large. After sitting on it, there is still a lot of room for the legs and head.

The trunk capacity is 490L, and the rear seats support folding down in a 4:2:4 ratio. When fully folded down, the maximum capacity can be expanded to 1,600L.

In terms of configuration, taking high-end configurations as an example, in terms of comfort configuration, it provides keyless entry and start, electric adjustment of front seats, main driver's seat memory, automatic air conditioning and rear air conditioning outlets, interior ambient lights, and 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio, panoramic canopy, and electric trunk.

In terms of smart configuration, it provides a 10.7-inch large central control screen with built-in iDrive car system, which supports functions such as voice control, multimedia and online navigation, and provides mobile phone interconnection with Apple CarPlay.

In terms of safety configuration, it provides 6 airbags, tire pressure display, lane departure warning, active braking, forward collision warning, merging assist, road traffic sign recognition, automatic parking and tracking reversing, etc.

In terms of battery life and charging, the entire BMW iX1 series is equipped with a ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 66.45kWh. Under CLTC conditions, the cruising range of the two-wheel drive model is 510km and the four-wheel drive model is 450km. The battery supports fast charging and slow charging. Fast charging supports charging from 10% to 80%, which takes 32 minutes, and slow charging takes 10.5 hours to fully charge.

write at the end

The above is the sharing of the BMW iX1 in-store price exploration and actual experience. After this experience, I also concluded two points. The first is that in terms of driving, the electrified BMW is still the BMW we are familiar with, which is more suitable for friends who pursue driving pleasure. The second is that when buying a car now, don’t see it. If the discount is huge, place an order directly. We can discuss the price, and maybe we can negotiate a bigger discount.
