Powertrain
Models for specific Asian and African countries start at the sDrive16i model which uses a front-wheel drive layout, and has an output of output of 122 hp and 230 Nm.[16] For most countries, models start at the sDrive18i, which has an output of 136 hp and 230 Nm, and the sDrive20i which has an output of 170 hp and 240 Nm. Both models use a 1499 cc B38 inline-three turbocharged engine. The xDrive23i uses a B48 inline-four turbocharged mild hybrid powertrain, and uses an all-wheel drive layout. It has an output of 218 hp and 320 Nm.[17] Exclusive to North American markets is the xDrive28i, which utilizes a variant of the B48 that makes 241 hp and 295 lbft of torque and is only available in AWD.
Diesel models consist of the sDrive18d, which has an output of 150 hp and 360 Nm, the xDrive20d, which has an output of 163 hp and 360 Nm, and the xDrive23d which has an output of 211 hp and 400 Nm. All diesel models use a B47 twin turbo inline-four engine. PHEV models consist of the xDrive25e which has an output of 245 hp and 230 Nm, and the xDrive30e with an output of 326 hp and 494 Nm which both use a B38 engine inline-three turbocharged engine, combined with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor.[17]
Mild hybrid models utilize a 48-volt mild hybrid which includes an electric motor/power-booster rated at 19 hp and 55 Nm. The mild hybrid system also features a 20 Ah battery in the luggage compartment, which was added to increase efficiency and power delivery.[18]
For plug-in hybrid models, charging via an AC charger (using a Type 2 connector) can handle a capacity of 7.4 kilowatts will take a total of 2.5 hours, down from 3.2 hours.[19] Because of the fifth generation BMW eDrive technology, PHEV models receive more fully-electric range compared to the previous generation. 25e PHEV model, the WLTP-rated range extends from 71 - 83 km.[20] For the 30e PHEV, the WLTP-rated range extends from 70 - 82 km.[20]
All models except the iX1 use a 7-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
