It will be necessary to wait until 2023 for the BMW iX1, which is officially on the calendar for the brand’s Turkey operation.
The new generation BMW X1, which entered the Turkish market in September, signals that it will make the previous generations completely forget with the changes it brings. For the new product range, whose global launch was held last June, the electric version is as important as the generation transition. The iX1, which will be available for the first time, promises the ability to combine this body with a dynamic drive with BMW’s successful FAAR infrastructure. The Turkish calendar for the BMW iX1, which is currently on sale in Germany with prices starting from 55,000 euros, has also been clarified. BMW Turkey officials, whom we had the opportunity to come together within the scope of the special event, gave the green light for the electric X1. In this context, if there is no change, we will see this ambitious model with 313 horsepower on the Turkish lists in the first quarter of 2023. Currently, the monthly target is shaped around March-April 2023.
