Available in a single specification here, all BMW iX1 and iX2 vehicles sold in Australia come with a dual-motor all-wheel drive (xDrive) powertrain outputting 230kW of power and 494Nm of torque. They feature a 64.8kWh lithium-ion battery.
For MY26, all iX1 and iX2 vehicles receive silicon carbide (SiC) inverters, which BMW claims enhances performance, power density and battery range, although local performance and driving range figures are yet to be announced.
The iX1 and iX2 were launched in Australia in 2023 and 2024 respectively, with the former becoming BMW’s best-selling electric vehicle (EV) over the past three years, while the iX2 was the second-best selling BMW EV in 2025.
