One to two decades ago, the automotive industry was largely tinkering around the edges of engine technology to get better efficiency. The same basic piston engine had been successful for a long, long time, and keeping past investment in them paying off wasn’t terribly hard. Improved valvetrains, improved turbocharging that could reliably last, lean-burn technology, and other things could squeeze a few more MPG out of engines to keep regulators happy.

The new BMW iX1 eDrive20 will be available for delivery in the UK starting November 2023. The Sport model will have a recommended retail price of £44,560, while the xLine trim will be available for £46,5600 and the M Sport for £49,310. Alongside the BMW iX1 xDrive30, the latest model will be manufactured at the BMW Group plant in Regensburg.

The company also announced a number of improvements to electronics and navigation in the cockpit, but that’s something even ICE manufacturers are doing, so I’ll stop there.To some of us, the VW ID.4 can be a bit of a plague. Why? Because owners get free charging at Electrify America stations and tend to show up a LOT and stay for a LONG time. But, VW is making some improvements.

The 2024 ID.4 82 kWh models come with a significant upgrade: a new performance drive unit. This results in improved horsepower and range compared to the previous model year. The rear-wheel-drive model now boasts 282 horsepower, while the all-wheel-drive model offers around 330 horsepower. This increase in power enhances acceleration and is expected to provide a greater range. EPA-estimated ranges for the 2024 ID.4 will be available closer to its market release.

The 2024 ID.4 prioritizes comfort and convenience. S models with the 82 kWh battery include ventilated front-row seats, while S Plus models are equipped with a premium Harman Kardon™ audio system featuring nine speakers, a subwoofer, and a 16-channel amplifier.
