If you're in the market for a car that is both luxurious and affordable, then a used BMW X1 is a great choice. Fitting in perfectly with the rest of the BMW crossover lineup, the smaller X1 showcases technology and style in one package. It also offers superb driving dynamics, remaining sporty while ensuring that every passenger is comfortable.
BMW offers a wide array of powertrain options – petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric – for the X1. Through the years, automatic and manual gearboxes were offered, along with front, rear or four-wheel drive.
PetrolFrom the outside, the BMW X1 looks compact, but the interior space is spacious and well-appointed, ensuring a comfortable drive.
Interior spaceWith the SUV and crossover segments in high demand, BMW realised that it needed to add more of this type of vehicle to the lineup, which is why the X1 was introduced in 2009. Though it's the smallest of BMW's SUV range, it still offers a decent amount of space for passengers and luggage, and it benefits from many luxurious touches and advanced features.

BMW designed the X1 to be its smallest and most affordable crossover, so it didn't require many alterations to remain competitive and popular in the compact luxury SUV segment. Yet the third-generation model did offer some upgrades, such as new swept-back headlights similar to those found on the 3 Series. Also, the size of the front grille was reduced slightly.
Inside the cabin, the new X1 received a curved display, placing the relevant data directly in front of the driver, while an updated infotainment centre was installed in the centre stack. Powertrain options were also revised, giving customers more options.

The main change with the second generation X1 was the way that the engine was mounted. Instead of being mounted longitudinally, it was switched to transversely, which allowed a shorter front-end overhang and nose. The cabin was also moved forward slightly, allowing for wider doors and making it easier to get in and out. Changes to the front made the X1 resemble its larger sibling, the X3.
A 2018 refresh brought a bolder bumper design with larger air intakes. The size of the grille was also increased, and brand-new LED headlights were added. New materials were used in the cabin to offer a more comfortable experience.

When the X1 was first released, it was based on the same platform as the 3 Series, but it looked similar to the X3. However, the lighting features were the same as those placed in the 7 Series when it was released. With the advanced safety technology and premium materials included, the new X1 was ahead of its time.
By 2014, the X1 was ready for a refresh to enhance its look. Sportier-looking headlights were added, and the grille design was changed. A restyled lower bumper was added. BMW also chose to install indicators into the mirror caps on the door for added visibility.

The diesel engines have been among the most popular, probably because they supply a large amount of power yet remain efficient and affordable to run. However, it's likely that the hybrid and electric variants will gain more popularity in the coming years.
Currently, BMW offers four trim levels: Sport, xLine, M Sport and M Models. The xLine has been among the most popular thanks to the extra features such as off-road exterior styling, electric folding wing mirrors, heated front seats and Dakota leather upholstery.
There are a lot of used examples fitted with optional extras, including various interior colours and special alloy wheel designs. Adaptive LED headlights are also worth looking out for, as they provide enhanced style and visibility on dark roads.
The X1 is the smallest of the BMW crossovers and SUVs, so it has less room than the larger options, but it still makes for a good family vehicle. It has ISOFIX points for child seats, a practical, spacious interior and a well-sized boot.
Yes, there are several plug-in hybrid configurations of the X1 that can be found on the used market. Not only has BMW released several hybrid powertrains for the X1, but there are also electric models with zero tailpipe emissions. BMW also offers both petrol and diesel variants, allowing for a wide range of options.
All of the newest models come equipped with an automatic gearbox. Older versions can be found with either a manual or an automatic.
Throughout the years, BMW has offered the X1 in various formats, including with four-wheel drive. It is also possible to find front- and rear-wheel drive options.
