Overview
Dropping into the thick of the compact SUV class, BMW's new 3 Series based X1 is a potential game-lifter with its prestige-class qualifications and accessible pricing. The latter is achieved mainly because there's an entry rear-drive version, although it is likely many buyers will overlook the specs just for the badge. The X1 range includes two rear-drive variants, the 110kW/200Nm sDrive18i and the 130kW/350Nm sDrive20d turbodiesel, both available in manual or auto form. 4WD comes in xDrive20d, 160kW/277Nm petrol xDrive25i and turbodiesel 150kW/400Nm xDrive23d, the xDrive25i in auto only. High-level safety, dynamics and quality are X1 givens.
