The X1 doesn’t sacrifice practicality for style, with a usable back seat and a roomy boot.
Even in base guise, the X1 boasts peppy performance and agile handling, but you can step all the way up to the rapid M35i xDrive with a claimed 0-100km/h time of just 5.4 seconds.
Overall, the X1 has a polished look and feel that’s befitting of something wearing the BMW badge, as well as the compact dimensions and nimble feel expected of a small luxury SUV.
