A digital radio, Bluetooth audio streaming and a centrally mounted media system operated by BMW’s intuitive and convenient 'iDrive' rotary controller. All cars come with dual-zone climate control, parking sensors front and rear, alloy wheels, cruise control and an electrically powered boot hatch. That being said, standard equipment levels are pretty generous, even in the entry-level SE cars. You do pay more for the privilege when comparing new cars, however. It certainly comes across as a high-quality product, and a significant step up from more mainstream family crossovers such as the Nissan Qashqai and Ford Kuga. If you really like a lofty-feeling driving position, the Volvo XC40 or Range Rover Evoque will give you a better sense of that, while the X1 feels very much like a family hatchback from behind the wheel.

In terms of space for passengers and luggage, the X1 is roomy, with plenty of space for people - even three-abreast in the rear seats is fairly comfortable - and a big 505-litre boot.Įverything feels very well put together and the controls are logically laid out, plus the seats offer plenty of support and a good range of adjustment.

In 2019 an xDrive25e plug-in hybrid model was added to the lineup, which combines a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor for a total output of 220hp and a claimed range on electric power of 35 miles from a full charge. Petrol power comes in the form of the three-cylinder, 1.5-litre 136hp 18i, which offers the prospect of fuel economy of 45.6mpg and the four-cylinder, 2.0-litre 20i model with 192hp and official fuel economy of 43.5mpg. There is also a speedy 25d model with 231hp, but this version is rare. The more powerful 190hp 20d manages the 0-62mph sprint in a much nippier 7.8 seconds with official fuel economy of 49.6mpg. The 18d diesel produces 150hp and can go from 0-62mph in just under 10 seconds while being able to return around 55mpg. In terms of engines, there are a variety of diesel and petrol motors available. Gearboxes are either a six-speed manual, an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed automatic - depending upon the engine (though this was replaced with a seven-speed version in 2018).

This frees up a lot more interior space, and puts this version of the X1 on par with rivals from the likes of the Volvo XC40, Audi Q3 and Range Rover Evoque.Īs is common with this sort of road-focused SUV (BMW doesn’t expect X1 drivers to do serious off-roading in this car), there is a choice between front-wheel-drive versions (labelled sDrive) and four-wheel-drive (labelled xDrive) on some models, though others are four-wheel-drive only. This version, on the other hand, shares common parts with Mini SUVs (as Mini is part of BMW), so its engine fits in crossways under the bonnet. The original model used engines and other mechanical parts from the BMW 3 Series saloon which, because the engines were mounted lengthways under the bonnet (rather than going side to side, as is usually the case with smaller cars), meant that interior room was compromised. And while cars of this type might be more expensive to buy than a regular family hatchback, they offer much lower running costs than full-size SUVs.īMW’s take on the small SUV recipe has been around for a while - dating back to 2010 - but this is the second-generation model, which was launched 2015 and significantly revised in 2019. And for good reason they combine compact family car dimensions (being around the same size as a Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf) with the raised driving position and glamorous looks of luxurious larger SUVs. Small family SUVs are an incredibly popular type of car in the 2020s.
