Presenting the 2022 BMW X1 Performance
BMW is confident that its singular 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine will provide all the power you need for your drive. This engine is coupled with the fuel-saving 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission and can produce up to 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Thanks to this power, the vehicle can go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 6.6 seconds. How an SAV® distributes its weight is important. Therefore, the X1 has standard features, like Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control.
These features provide sport-like driving dynamics for even stability and improved traction. That means better overall precision when taking on curves in the road or slipping in and out of parking spots.
To experience this kind of drive no matter the conditions, add available xDrive. This is BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive system, which combats slippery roads by distributing the engine’s power to all four wheels. It’s perfect for traveling during inclement weather conditions, like rain, snow, or sleet.
Inside the 2022 BMW X1
The 2022 BMW X1 can fit up to five people at a time within its two rows of seating. Here are the dimensions you and your passengers can expect when loading in for a ride:
| Headroom (front/rear) |
41.9 inches/39.4 inches |
| Legroom (front/rear) |
40.4 inches/37.0 inches |
| Exterior Length/Width/Height |
175.5 inches/71.7 inches/62.9 inches |
| Cargo Volume |
58.7 cubic feet |
This model maximizes its passenger space by providing second-row passengers with 37 inches to stretch their legs and first-row occupants 40.4 inches. Though its interior dimensions are worth noting, this model still knows how to utilize its exterior dimensions.
The X1 is only 175.5 inches long and 71.7 inches wide, providing a smaller build compared to other 5-seater vehicles. That means you can maneuver in and out of tight parking spots or venture down narrow paths and alleys with ease. Its smaller build also provides a better fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 24 city and 33 highway MPG.1
Furthermore, BMW decorates its interior with lots of standard comfort luxuries for its occupants. Here are some:
- Power front seats with driver’s seat memory
- Power tailgate
- Multi-zone Climate Control with micro-filter and automatic air recirculation
- Rain-sensing windshield wipers with automatic headlight control
Plus, the model comes standard with BMW’s iDrive system, which features a 8.8-inch touchscreen with voice command and Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration. This is your spot for all things infotainment.
