You get access to a large chunk of that Nm of torque at a shade just under rpm with a nice linear build-up all the way close to the rpm. The eight-speed Aisin gearbox does a good job of keeping you in the meat of the torque band allowing you to cruise at triple-digit speed without much effort.
You get three driving modes EcoPro, Comfort and Sport and as their names suggest you get a varied driving experience with all three. The former is well suited for city conditions and will quickly upshift to give you maximum efficiency. If you take your foot off the accelerator, the drive train goes into a coasting function needing you to be extra cautious on the brakes. The Sport mode is the more engaging of the two sport-sporty…you get the drift with sharper responses from the throttle and steering.
It holds the revs for a longer period to allow a quicker build-up of speed. Finally, Comfort mode is a combination of both and is best suited when you have a mix of city and highway driving conditions. As part of the package, you also get paddle shifters which are engaging, quick to respond and very useful when you need to munch up the kilometres in a quick manner. The ride is on the firmer side but is not uncomfortable in any manner and it would take quite a large pothole or obstacle to bounce you around in the car at low speeds.
This firm quality is a boon out on the highway especially at triple digit speeds where the stability offered allows you to drive in an engaging manner. Aiding this cause is improved insulation in the cabin which has addressed previous complaints of the ride being noisy.
The steering is quick to respond through the turns though because you only have two powered wheels and a lot of torque going through them, it is better to plan your moves and glide from point to point.
This being an SUV, you get all the fun of a BMW but with the ability to take the path less taken and not worry about damaging the under body of your expensive German machinery. However, on the flip side, the spacious cabin feels dated both in terms of appearance and technology.

X1 Verdict BMW has introduced the X1 facelift with a fresh set of cosmetic and feature updates over the outgoing model. Where the original X1 wasn't much more than a pumped-up 1 Series, the current car is more like a shrunken X3. The chunky looks create plenty of space inside, so it's ideal family transport for buyers who feel that a compact hatchback isn't big enough for their needs.
But this practicality doesn't come at the expense of driving fun, and enthusiasts will be pleased to hear that the X1 delivers the kind of satisfying handling that BMW is famous for.
Both front and four-wheel drive versions are engaging to drive, while the range of three and four-cylinder turbo petrol engines deliver punchy performance combined with decent running costs.
The X1 is as good as ever. That accolade goes to the related X2 , which is a sister car to the X1 but with a more compact, five-door coupe-style body. Unlike the first generation X1, the current model features styling and dimensions that are more familiar to the larger X3 SUV than the 1 Series hatch.
That means a raised ride height and a bigger body that creates more space inside than the first generation model, making the X1 a viable choice for buyers needing more space than a compact family hatchback can offer. As mentioned above there are front and four-wheel drive variants available, with the majority of models coming with front-wheel drive as standard.
The sDrive18i has a 1. The sDrive18i has a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, while an eight-speed auto is offered as an option. This auto is standard with the 20i. A seven-speed gearbox is offered on lower models. Both petrol models have the option of four-wheel drive xDrive. The diesels comprise the sDrive18d with a bhp three-cylinder, six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive, and the xDrive20d, which has a bhp four-cylinder diesel and four-wheel drive as standard.
This model also has an eight-speed auto as standard, while this gearbox and the 4WD system can be added to the 18d for extra cost. A PHEV model joined the range in the mid-life facelift. Called the xDrive25e, it uses a 10kWh lithium-ion battery pack, an electric motor mounted to the rear axle and a turbocharged 1.
All cars come as standard with sat-nav and infotainment with connected services, a power tailgate, rear parking sensors, climate control, multifunction steering wheel and a sliding rear bench to boost versatility. On top of this, Sport models add a slightly sportier look, with bigger wheels, black plastic detailing and two-colour interior trim, while xLine cars feature satin aluminium trim and different wheel designs.
The M Sport lives up to its branding, with body coloured exterior trim and an extended bodykit, lowered suspension, part-Alcantara seat trim and LED headlights. Unlike some rivals, all engines are available in every trim, so you can have the basic 18i petrol in fully-specced M Sport trim, or the most powerful xDrive20i in subtle SE trim. M Sport is the most expensive trim, but you do get the option of the M Sport Plus Pack with exclusive kit.

The glovebox door is as flimsy as a plastic lunchbox, and the bin hidden under the front seat, while useful, feels as if BMW bought it in bulk from a dollar-store fire sale. The cockpit has a driver-focused layout, reinforcing the X1's sporty personality. Facing the driver is a businesslike gauge cluster that looks elegant and is easy to read at a glance. The driving position is great, although the steering-wheel adjustments could use more range of motion in both angle and reach.
The cargo area is carpeted, trimmed in chrome, and cavernous. We managed to fit seven carry-on cases behind the second row and 19 total with the rear seat folded. The X1's standard infotainment system is intuitive and easy to operate while on the go but perhaps a little dated. The 8. To control all these things, BMW provides a rotary knob on the center console that fits comfortably beneath the driver's right hand. The controller is surrounded by shortcut buttons for phone, nav, and other functions.
Basic driver-assistance features are provided at no cost, but more advanced technology will require adding option packages. Key safety features include:. BMW's limited warranty and powertrain protection are ordinary for the class, but the company sweetens the deal with three years of free scheduled maintenance.
