BMW Brilliance iX1

¡¾Driving experience¡¿
The power is very strong below 80. Above 120, the power is just average. After all, the top speed is only 180, so there's not enough power reserve on the highway. The motor's power response is too fast, which can easily cause motion sickness.
¡¾Endurance¡¿
On the highway at 120, the endurance is about 18 - 19. In the city, it's 15 - 16. The mileage shown on the dashboard is relatively accurate.
¡¾Riding experience¡¿
The rear - seat space is large, and the backrest angle is very comfortable. The large sunroof gives a great sense of space. Except for the possibility of motion sickness, everything else is very good.
¡¾Space performance¡¿
After all, it's a special - spec X1 class. The space is not only larger than that of the X3 and such, but also ranks among the top in the 4.6 - meter class. It's quite impressive. There's still a lot of space under the trunk cover, where you can put small items, and the trunk is very tidy.
¡¾Least satisfied¡¿
BMW's automatic parking function is too sensitive. It's really inconvenient when the vehicle automatically parks at zero speed, especially when reversing. It's like there's a lag. In contrast, Mercedes - Benz's deep - press hold function is very comfortable.
The car's infotainment system is still not intelligent enough. Not to mention comparing the voice assistant with Xiaomi's Xiaoai, it can't even match most domestic brands.
¡¾Car - buying experience¡¿
I've long planned to replace my wife's gasoline car with an electric one. I initially thought about getting a Dolphin, but then I found that the trunk space was indeed too small, and the interior quality was just so - so. Later, I wanted to buy a Xiaomi car but failed to grab the founding edition, which made me feel like I'd lost out. When I went to look at Xiaomi cars, I found that BMW's current electric cars had great discounts. After a test drive, the experience was also okay. I've always believed that the ultimate purpose of a car is to be a means of transportation. There's no point in having features like fridges, big - screen TVs, and luxury sofas. It's okay to have them, but it doesn't really matter if you don't. Using these as selling points is rather meaningless. My old C - class has been comfortable to drive for ten years. Some brands haven't even been around for ten years. Let's wait and see.

The appearance is quite good. You can buy aftermarket parts to change the intake grille to all-black, which will make it look much better.
The handling is just okay. Putting the motor at the front is a strange design. The shock absorbers are too soft. When going over speed bumps, there is excessive bouncing. Overall, the driving experience is similar to my XT5, a bit worse than the X3, and far inferior to my JCW.
The space is as large as ever, especially in the rear row. Outperforming higher - class models has always been a selling point of the X1. However, the front seats are not very comfortable. The headrest angle is unreasonable, the seat cushion is too short, and there is no leg support.
The actual range is basically over 90% of the rated range, and it's good that the range is not over - stated.
Now, let me talk about the drawbacks. There is abnormal noise when braking. The intelligent driving system lags far behind domestic new - energy vehicles. The voice assistant is almost useless. The automatic parking function can never park the car accurately, but the trace - following reverse function is okay.

[Appearance] Everything else is fine. The all-white M model looks quite cool. There are two aesthetic points: 1. The black sports parts at the rear; 2. The car body still looks a bit low. Compared with the fuel-powered X1, it's significantly lower, so the black sports parts seem a bit cumbersome. Opinions on this vary. I think the lines of the roof and the rear part of the car are quite nice.
[Interior] It's quite good. As a driver, the driver's seat is fine. The drawback is that many parts look too much like plastic. I never really understood what "plastic" meant before, but now I've experienced it thoroughly. It's a bit of a pity. Additionally, the center console is too small and looks a bit plastic. Other than that, it's okay.
[Space Performance] The space advantage is obvious, so I won't elaborate further.
[Range and Energy Consumption] Regarding the range, when the battery level is at 90%, the dashboard shows a range of 400 kilometers. Maybe I turned on the air conditioner too aggressively in summer and often slept in the car, so the average power consumption is about 20 (unit: kWh/100km). However, when I tried driving on the highway, with the air conditioner on normally and driving at a constant speed of 90 km/h, the power consumption was between 14 - 15 (kWh/100km). It's related to driving habits, but it's still quite good.
[Assisted Driving] [Intelligent Cockpit] I could give a score of 0 for intelligent driving and the cockpit, but considering it's a BMW, the voice control for window up/down has really impressed me! I only realized how important seat ventilation is after sitting in the ix1. (By the way, NIO's NOP is really amazing.) However, in terms of the driving experience, it responds precisely to steering inputs, and it's quite exhilarating to step on the accelerator deeply occasionally.
