Subcompact Luxury: BMW X1

by Debert Cook

August 8, 2020 | BY AAGD STAFF

The 2020 X1 is BMW’s Mighty Mouse crossover, small but both effortlessly playful and uncompromisingly practical. It’s powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that revs eagerly and smoothly with good fuel-economy ratings and plenty of power. The cabin is spacious for such a small crossover; four adults will ride in comfort, with room to spare for their luggage in the capacious cargo hold. The X1 might be the driver’s choice, but it doesn’t require compromising practicality.

MSRP: From $35,200
Dimensions: 176″ L x 72″ W x 63″ H
MPG: Up to 24 city / 33 highway
Horsepower: 228 hp
Cargo volume: 27.1 ft³, 58.7 ft³ with seat area

Is the BMW X1 a Good SUV?

es, the BMW X1 is a great luxury subcompact SUV. It offers what many people want in a smaller crossover: plenty of passenger and cargo space, ample engine power, engaging driving dynamics, and a solid list of standard features that includes the user-friendly iDrive infotainment system.

Although this BMW ranks near the pinnacle of its class, it’s not without faults. Some cabin materials are of a lower quality than you would expect for a luxury SUV – or for a vehicle wearing the vaunted BMW emblem. Additionally, the X1’s overall safety score is low for the class.

Should I Buy the BMW X1?

The X1 deserves a place on buyers’ shopping lists because of its appealing combination of performance, space, and value. With one main trim level, a wide array of standard equipment, and different ways to add options, it’s easy to get the X1 you want.
