The 2017 BMW X1 was introduced last year as a new Sport Activity Vehicle from the German automaker. Meant as an entry into the compact luxury crossover market, the X1 is neither a traditional crossover nor a traditional sedan. It's somewhere in between. The X1 is based on the MINI Cooper's underpinnings, making it light on its feet and high in performance for a compact.
The 2017 X1 is peppy and nimble with eye-catching looks and a niche feel that makes it stand out among stiff competition. This 5-passenger luxury compact crossover has standard all-wheel drive, premium content, a good-sized touchscreen for infotainment, and just one well-outfitted trim level. With this much standard equipment, it's difficult to overlook the X1's promise of fun and versatility.
The 2016 BMW X1 is completely new for this model year. The new X1 is based, surprisingly, on the BMW MINI Cooper rather than the previous-generation's 3 Series roots. This has meant that the X1 gains a lighter feel, better performance, and more spacious use of its interior versus the previous generation. All good improvements for this compact crossover.
The premium/luxury compact crossover segment is booming and competition is fierce. This newly redesigned X1 puts the BMW offering back on the playing field as a solid competitor. It's peppy, nimble, roomy, and downright fun to drive. All great points.
The 2016 BMW X1 is a five-passenger compact crossover in the luxury segment. It comes standard with all-wheel drive, automated wipers and climate controls, premium upholstery, split-fold rear seating, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen with navigation. A single trim level is offered with option packages for upgrade.
