2018 BMW X1

The X1 is the smallest and most affordable of BMW’s six crossovers (the range goes all the way to X6) but that’s not to say this vehicle doesn’t pack a lot of power. It’s received plenty of recognition for its classy design and superb handling, which is probably why there are barely any updates for the 2018 version.

The vehicle is powered by a 228-horsepower 2-liter turbocharged I-4 engine which offers 258 pound-feet of torque. You’ll make 23 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway. All-wheel drive is an option too, and you’ll only make one mile per gallon less with this choice.

In spite of this five-seater’s small design, you’re still treated to 27 cubic feet of cargo space, rising to 59 cubic feet if you fold the passenger seats down.

A classy little number

You can have your BMW X1 tricked-out with satin aluminium roof rails, matte chrome exterior trim, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel depending on what trim you choose. Automatic climate control and eight-way power front seats are among the highlights of the other features.

The exterior design and the refined interiors are what most drivers have to come expect from a BMW, but once again this year, the X1 doesn’t let the brand down.

Yet, it’s the way that this vehicle handles that allows this vehicle to ooze class.

Exceptional handling

The handling of this vehicle is likely to be the main reason it has sold as well as it has. The turbo-charged engine purrs as you navigate this vehicle through the streets. This car really does offer a stylish comfortable driving experience. 

Packed with technology

Among the most impressive hi-tech features are a back-seat entertainment system with a Wi-Fi hotspot. The Remote Services options, which allows you to use a smartphone app to control certain aspects of the interior, is another that tech wizards will enjoy.
