Pricing And Market Strategy

The price for the iX1 LWB is Rs 49.9 lakh and it's much lower than other EVs especially in the entry level luxury space. The X1 is available with a long wheelbase only for the electric version and this has been a masterstroke of sorts and also assembling it in India which helped in enabling the price to be more competitive.

The iX1 LWB with this colour adds more options for now and the interior gets more premium while the pricing remains the same being under Rs 50 lakh.
