Interior & Exterior
A stylish, petite model that turns heads everywhere it goes, the BMW X1 takes its design cues from popular SUVs that are available, including a rear liftgate to access the cargo hold and an elevated ground clearance for a smooth and even ride. But this model takes the popular SUV design and turns it on its head, with a distinctly luxurious and refined BMW SAV (which stands for Sport Activity Vehicle) spin. Look for the signature BMW front grille to grace the front of this vehicle, as well as new L-shaped blade design elements at each corner on the front and rear bumper.
As a world-renowned BMW vehicle, Opelika and Auburn, AL drivers can expect the new BMW X1 to have an interior that's elegant and crafted with high-quality materials. This SAV exceeds expectations in every area, with soft to the touch materials, seats that retain their comfort even on ling road trips, and the latest tech for comfort, safety, and technology.
Performance
As with the previous generation, the new BMW X1 also gets its power from a standard, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. For the new redesign, it gets an increase in power, going from 228 horsepower to 241 horsepower, and from 258 pound-feet of torque to 295 pound-feet of torque. Plus, as mentioned, every X1 now comes with standard all-wheel drive.
Safety
Cutting-edge amenities are also part of the deal when you invest in a new BMW X1. In addition to a slew of advanced safety features that come standard on every X1, such as blind-spot monitoring, our favorite carmaker also has some impressive and groundbreaking options that you can add onto your favorite model, including:
- A Crash Recorder, which records the previous 60 seconds of driving in case there is a collision
- A Joy Recorder, which records 60 seconds on demand when the driver requests it
- A surround-view camera system
- A Remote Theft Recorder, which captures video from multiple angles when the alarm is triggered
Technology
As part of its full redesign, the new BMW X1 builds on the list of standard amenities and gives drivers a variety even more of the tech they really want, including newly standard wireless connectivity for the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
