There are many storage spaces including under the centre armrest. The floating design means that smaller items such as handbags can be stored between the seats easily. Cupholders sit down low, but not out of reach, and the wireless phone charger pad sits upright at the forward end of the console, with a little lock-in bar (like a show ride) to keep your phone in place. Bottle holders and map pockets in the doors, and a decent glovebox, complete the picture. The rear seat has an adjustable backrest but no fore-aft slide. It’s comfy and quite flat – which helps for putting three across the back. There’s a pull-down armrest with cupholders in the middle section, and bottle holders with maps pockets in each door. If you want to free up more space, the rear seats fold in a 40:20:40 split, allowing you to drop the centre section and maintain outboard seats for two occupants, or pull down a wider outboard section on either side. Boot space measures 490 litres with the seats up (50L less than a petrol X1) and expands to 1495L with the seats folded (105L down on an X1). There’s no under-bonnet storage in the iX1, but if you carry charge cables with you, these can be managed under the boot floor.
