If you're shopping for a luxury SUV that delivers BMW-level performance without the price tag of a brand-new model, the 2018 BMW X1 is the perfect fit. At BMW of Columbus, we proudly offer this sought-after compact SUV to drivers throughout Columbus, Auburn, Opelika, and Phenix City.
The X1 is a favorite among buyers who want the comfort and prestige of a premium brand but also appreciate the value of a well-maintained, pre-owned vehicle. For drivers across Georgia and eastern Alabama, this is the kind of SUV that checks every box.
What Makes the 2018 BMW X1 Stand Out?
The 2018 BMW X1 delivers everything you expect from a luxury compact SUV: sharp styling, responsive handling, and a refined cabin. But it also surprises buyers with its fuel efficiency, practicality, and long-term reliability.
Here’s why it continues to be a top choice:
-
Impressive MPG: With up to 33 miles per gallon on the highway (28 combined), the X1 is one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in its class. Whether you're commuting from Auburn to Columbus or taking weekend trips through Middle Georgia, you can enjoy strong fuel savings without sacrificing performance.
-
BMW TwinPower Turbo Engine: The 2.0-liter engine puts out 228 horsepower, providing quick acceleration and smooth cruising. Choose between front-wheel drive or BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system for more control in any road conditions.
-
Roomy, Flexible Interior: The X1 offers 58.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, which is impressive for a compact SUV. And more than the newer models of X1 which offer 46.7 cu feet. This makes it ideal for families, pet owners, and anyone needing to haul sports gear or luggage for weekend getaways.
-
Quiet, Comfortable Ride: Inside the cabin, you’ll find premium materials, ergonomic controls, and plenty of legroom for passengers in both rows. It’s built for everyday luxury, without the new car sticker shock.
A Smart Choice for Savvy Shoppers
Not everyone in the market for a BMW is looking to drive off in the newest model. Many of our customers in Phenix City, Auburn, and right here in Columbus are looking for value. They want the reliability and prestige of the BMW name without the depreciation that comes with a new vehicle.
That’s exactly what makes the 2018 X1 such an appealing option. These models are often available with low mileage and a detailed service history. You may even find a Certified Pre-Owned BMW X1, which includes a factory-backed limited warranty and roadside assistance.
For price-conscious buyers who still want a premium experience, this SUV delivers the best of both worlds.
Features That Fit Your Lifestyle
The X1 doesn’t just look good. It’s designed with everyday functionality in mind. Key features available on 2018 models include:
-
Panoramic moonroof for open-air drives through Georgia
-
Power liftgate for easy loading and unloading
-
Dual-zone climate control and heated front seats
-
Rearview camera and parking sensors for added safety
-
Apple CarPlay and BMW's intuitive iDrive infotainment system
Whether you’re heading to the farmers market in Opelika, commuting to Fort Moore, or driving up to Lake Harding, this BMW adapts to your needs while keeping you comfortable and connected.
