Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives
BMW iX1
  • Affordable Luxury at Rs 49 lakh (ex-showroom)
  • The iX1 LWB is the most affordable luxury EV in India
  • Undercutting its competitors by a significant margin
  • Spacious Cabin
  • The longer wheelbase translates to better rear-seat comfort and more legroom, making it a great choice for chauffeur-driven passengers
  • Decent Range & Efficiency: 531 km range on a single charge (MIDC-rated) which translates to roughly 450 km real world range make it a practical choice for long-distance travel
  • BMW’s Signature Handling: Despite the front-wheel-drive setup
  • The iX1 LWB still maintains BMW’s nimble and precise steering, offering enjoyable driving dynamics
BYD Sealion 7
  • Looks like a luxury car and offers a great road presence
  • Rich interior quality that feels as good as or even better than some luxury cars
  • Loaded with features: 15.6-inch touchscreen, powered front seats, ADAS, 11 airbags and much more
  • Smooth and fast to drive
  • Offers sports car performance with a family car’s ease of use
BMW iX1
  • Missing Features: No heads-up display, ventilated seats or advanced ADAS features like adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking
  • Complicated Infotainment System: The iDrive OS9 interface is cumbersome, with tasks like adjusting regen modes buried deep in menus and physical buttons sorely missed
  • A bit of thud: At slower speeds, some road imperfections might creep into the cabin
BYD Sealion 7
  • Doesn’t have the brand value that some may want at this price
  • Ride comfort could have been better over bad roads
