Alongside the i5, BMW Group Malaysia has also launched the 2026 BMW iX1 eDrive20L M Sport, a long-wheelbase version of the brand’s compact electric Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV), designed to deliver improved rear-seat comfort without compromising BMW’s signature driving dynamics.
Watch: 2026 BMW iX1L from RM255,000 (CBU)
Overview
The BMW iX1 eDrive20L M Sport expands the iX1 line-up with a 110 mm longer wheelbase and an overall length increase of 116 mm, translating into significantly improved rear passenger space. Positioned as a more family- and comfort-focused EV, it complements the standard-wheelbase iX1 introduced locally a year earlier.
Fully imported (CBU from China,) the 2026 BMW iX1 eDrive20L M Sport is priced at an estimated RM 255,000 (without BSRI). WLTP-rated driving range is quoted at up to 433 km.
Exterior
Visually, the iX1 eDrive20L M Sport features BMW’s enclosed EV grille with Extended Shadowline trim, matched with Adaptive LED headlights and M Lights Shadowline treatment. The elongated side profile is accentuated by flush door handles and square wheel arches housing 19-inch M light-alloy wheels (Style 871M).
At the rear, full-LED taillights in a distinctive L-shaped design complete the SAV’s modern look. Practicality is also a strong suit, with 490 litres of boot space, expandable to 1,600 litres, accessed via a power tailgate.
Interior
Thanks to the extended wheelbase, rear passengers benefit from an additional 81 mm of legroom and 107 mm of knee room, while seat cushioning has been improved with softer foam and a longer base.
Up front, the cabin features BMW’s Curved Display running BMW Operating System 9, paired with a BMW Head-Up Display. Sporty touches include an M Leather steering wheel and Aluminium Hexacube Pale M interior trim.
A standout feature is the panoramic Skyroof, which spans the cabin without a central crossbar and includes an electric fabric shade for added privacy. Other comfort features include electric sport seats with memory, wireless charging, comfort access, automatic climate control, and a Harman Kardon Hi-Fi sound system with 12 speakers
