The grille&nbsp;aligns with BMW's signature design language and enhances the SUV's aerodynamic efficiency.&nbsp;The camouflage is limited to the front end of the test mule, indicating that the rest of the vehicle may see few cosmetic updates.&nbsp;This mid-cycle refresh is part of the German carmaker's strategy to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving EV market, where design and performance are key factors. Expect further details on technological and performance upgrades as the new-gen iX1 moves closer to its official debut.</p>

Additionally, the unchanged LED daytime running lights (DRLs) and headlamp patterns might suggest that <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/bmw/">BMW</a> is experimenting with an updated&nbsp;driver assistance system. It is important to note that&nbsp;the tailboard badges were hidden at the back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This could&nbsp;be a new, sportier version in the lineup, as it is&nbsp;equipped with the M Sport package featuring more aggressive front and rear bumpers.

<p>The cabin of the BMW iX1 SUV is quite similar to that of the ICE model, including the dashboard layout. The car's 10.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system and 10.25-inch digital driver's display are merged into a curved display that operates on BMW's i-Drive 8.5 operating system.
