Frequently asked questions about BMW X1
Is the BMW X1 a good car to buy?
Yes, the BMW X1 is a good car to buy and it’s a fairly practical small SUV. BMW wanted the X1 to appeal to young and old people alike, as well as to fill the need for a fuel-efficient SUV in its lineup. The front and rear are quite spacious for BMW’s smallest SUV, the interior is reasonable, and the style is sporty and athletic whilst still looking luxurious.
What is the disadvantage of the BMW X1?
The BMW X1 has been noted for having somewhat lacklustre powertrains except for the battery electric version, the iX1. The petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid powertrains as well as the gearbox aren’t quite up to the standard of quality one should expect from BMW. Furthermore, the onboard infotainment system has also been criticised for being relatively inferior.
Is BMW X1 the smallest SUV?
The third-generation BMW X1 released in 2022 is BMW’s smallest SUV. It was the company’s smallest SUV upon release also, but when the BMW X2 first came out in 2017 it was actually smaller. Depending on the trim, the third-generation X1 is about 4.500 metres long whereas the second-generation X2 is around 4.554 metres long, so it’s noticeably shorter and more compact.
Is BMW X1 fuel efficient?
Yes, the BMW X1 is fuel efficient and one of the best amongst BMW’s cars and other SUVs. According to estimates for the 2023 and 2024 X1, the fuel economy is approximately 34.9 mpg and 31.7 mpg, respectively. Top Gear claims that the sDrive20i Sport trim has a 47.1 mpg fuel economy, whereas the diesel sDrive18d has 56.5 mpg. Plug-in hybrid models can likely achieve higher figures, and the battery electric iX1 with 270 mile range has a much higher mpg equivalent.
Can BMW X1 last for 10 years?
With proper care and maintenance, a BMW X1 should last you up to around 10-14 years or around 200,000 miles before encountering more serious issues. The X1 is built on the same platform as the Mini, which is a brand well-known for being unreliable, however BMW’s build construction is certainly better. In other words, the X1 should be fairly reliable - not the best but certainly not the worst.
