It isn\u2019t often that a brand\u2019s smallest crossover is one of its best looking cars. However, that is the case with the BMW X1,<\/a> as it\u2019s genuinely one of the best designs in BMW\u2019s lineup (what does that say about BMW\u2019s other cars?). Making it even better is the fact that the X1 has an electric variant, the BMW iX1, which looks really good in Frozen Pure Grey.<\/p>\n

One of the best things about the BMW iX1, and its standard X1 sibling, is that it comes in a variety of very interesting colors. There\u2019s an orange, green, blue, and this Frozen Pure Grey. The latter of which gives it a mature but sporty look that works well with the iX1. Maybe it\u2019s just me but it\u2019s a color that also seems to work well with EVs, as there\u2019s something futuristic about the matte grey color.<\/p>\n

In this photo gallery, the BMW iX1 heads through some stunning Italian countryside, which is actually not a bad place for an iX1, despite it being a crossover. Drive the X1 for only a few minutes and you\u2019ll soon realize that it\u2019s far more capable and more fun than its shape and size would suggest. It\u2019s the best driving standard BMW SUV on sale right now and the electric iX1 is the best version.<\/p>\n

Its dual electric motors make 308 horsepower and 364 lb-ft of torque, which is quite a bit more than the X1 xDrive28i\u2019s 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. More importantly, though, is that its smooth, effortless, instant torque just makes it feel much faster. In addition to its added power and smoother powertrain, the iX1\u2019s center of gravity is lower, thanks to its heavy battery pack in the floor, so it even handles a bit better than the standard car.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s good about the BMW iX1 is that it can actually drive hard through these stunning Italian roads and not worry too much about range. With around 260 miles of range from its 64.7 kWh battery pack, it\u2019s capable of driving all day without a charge. At 130 kW, it charges pretty quickly too, even if it isn\u2019t as quick to charge as some of its competitors from Volkswagen, Tesla, Hyundai, or Kia.<\/p>\n

The BMW iX1 is a great overall package, though. It\u2019s quick enough, smooth, and comfortable. It also looks pretty darn good in Frozen Grey and is one of the best looking Bimmers out there.<\/p>\n
