It's a bit firmer than a lot of family SUVs - but not to the point of discomfort, in our view. In typical BMW fashion the X1 strikes an impressive balance between comfort and sportiness, handling with real agility and composure. That's a considerable distance and more than the Volvo XC40 PHEV can manage. There are two PHEVs available - the X1 xDrive25e and xDrive30e - both capable of travelling up to 55 miles under electric power alone.

You can't, however, get the new BMW X1 with a manual gearbox - it's unlikely many buyers will mind.īoth of these models come with a mild amount of electrical assistance, improving fuel economy and providing a small power boost, but you're going to want a plug-in hybrid if you plan to mooch about in silence. If you're familiar with BMW nomenclature you'll recognise that both are all-wheel-drive models (hence 'xDrive'), but you can also get the BMW X1 as a frugal front-wheel-drive SUV. So far, we've driven the petrol BMW X1 xDrive23i and diesel xDrive23d. Significantly, the new X1 is available with petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid and even electric power, with the latter (badged the BMW iX1) replacing the BMW i3 as a new entry-level electric BMW. It also shares a platform with the people carrier, as well as a chunk of its engine line-up.

It's not just the BMW X1's cabin that has similarities with the new 2 Series Active Tourer. Kids will be more than happy in the back seats of the X1, thanks to a generous amount of space and good visibility out of the side windows, while even big adults won't complain much. Mid-spec models and above come with a neat sliding rear bench as standard, which allows you to prioritise space where you need it. It features the same modern centre console as the latest BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, as well as BMW's latest fancy dual-screen infotainment setup.Ī huge boot is one of the BMW X1's highlights, while an automatic tailgate will also come in handy. It's inside where the new model has the edge over the competition, though. The stage was set for this all-new 2022 model to rise to top of the class.Īlthough the new BMW X1's bigger and more muscular exterior look might still divide opinion, it's certainly less love-or-hate than some of the brand's bigger models. The first generation car felt (and looked) a bit half-hearted, while the next X1 was a big improvement and became one of the best premium small SUVs around later in its life. It's quite impressive how quickly the BMW X1 has evolved in a little over a decade. It's more spacious than the previous BMW X1 (and, indeed, most of its rivals) - which means it could well be worth the cash over mainstream competitors like the Volkswagen Tiguan, Nissan Qashqai and Hyundai Tucson. If you're in the market for a practical but not too large family SUV and don't want to compromise on style, the latest BMW X1 is a very compelling alternative to cars like the Volvo XC40, Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA.
