2021 BMW X1 Review

Pronounced Performance Specs

Under the hood of the 2021 BMW X1, you’ll find a peppy 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine with 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque to offer. This engine pairs with an 8-speed STEPTRONIC Automatic Transmission that provides an impressive EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG.

In terms of handling, you’ll have several intelligent systems working in your favor. Standard Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control monitor road conditions and adjust for both grip and comfort.

Plus, you can upgrade to include the available xDrive system, BMW’s signature intelligent all-wheel drive system. Using the thousands of data points it collects about your road condition every minute, it can redistribute power to ensure that you stay in control.

Upscale Yet Versatile Interior

The 2021 BMW X1 seats five passengers comfortably with more than 40 inches of legroom to offer to front passengers. Rear passengers will have plenty of wiggle room as well with 37 inches of legroom and nearly 42 inches of headroom.

When you’re in need of cargo space rather than passenger space, utilize the 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats to take advantage of the 58.7 total cubic feet of cargo space this model offers. Pack in ski equipment, small furniture for redecorating, or full-size luggage for a weekend away.

No matter where you’re heading, you can count on the X1 to keep everyone’s needs at bay with an array of top-notch comfort qualities. Enjoy available heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and one of many upholstery options, including available Dakota leather.

Next-Level Technology Features

The BMW X1 is always a step ahead of you with a wide range of state-of-the-art tech features working on your behalf. For starters, you’ll get the standard Active Driving Assistant with:

• Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation.
• Lane Departure Warning to thwart unwanted lane changes.

Beef up this suite even more with the available Premium Package and Driving Assistance Package; features that come with these packages are Active Driving Assistant, Head-Up Display, and LED Headlights with Cornering Lights that illuminate around the bend.

Stay connected all the way with the standard 8.8-inch BMW iDrive system. Use touchscreen capability and natural voice recognition to access built-in navigation, your favorite smartphone apps, and BMW ConnectedDrive. Meanwhile, your smartphone devices will stay juiced up in the standard inductive Wireless Charging cradle.
