WHY THE 2021 BMW X1 IS THE APEX OF THIS YEAR’S SUVS

The 2021 BMW X1 is an exciting new SUV that’s ready to treat you to a first-class experience as you take on your day-to-day trips. Whether you’re a frequent flyer on the X1 or you’re in need of an upgrade, this SUV is ready for you.

WHAT IS THE X1?

The 2021 BMW X1 is a compact SUV — called a Sports Activity Vehicle, or SAV, by the BMW team — that’s ready to take on your year’s adventures. This model is available in two trim levels: the sDrive28i or the xDrive28i with all-wheel drive. The X1 has seating for five passengers in two rows and plenty of cargo space in the rear cargo area. For more room to pack shopping bags and luggage, lay the 40/20/40-split rear row flat to increase the X1’s cargo area to 58.7 cubic feet.

AMPLE POWER

Each X1 is outfitted with an efficient four-cylinder engine that pumps out 228 horsepower. This engine’s ample power is controlled by an eight-speed automatic transmission that delivers a smooth shifting experience. As we mentioned above, the X1 can be equipped with an all-wheel-drive system that better prepares you for wet and icy roads.

To boost your SAV’s fuel efficiency, BMW has given it an automatic start-stop function that allows your engine to shut off while you’re idling and come back to life when you accelerate. Each model features three drive modes that allow you to increase your SAV’s fuel economy or unleash its true potential.

ENHANCED SAFETY

In addition to these entertaining and convenient technologies, the X1 also employs intelligent safety features through the standard Active Driving Assistant suite. This suite includes BMW’s frontal collision warning with city collision mitigation, the speed limit detection feature, and lane departure warning. Using outboard sensors and cameras, the X1 does a fantastic job of helping you avoid unfortunate situations in the city.

DESIGN

No list of features is worth the investment if the vehicle doesn’t look good on the road. The X1 starts off strong with its signature BMW kidney grille and available LED headlamps with cornering lights. Opt for the available panoramic moonroof to let the fresh air and outside views into your SAV’s cabin. If you want to give your X1 a more sporty personality, choose a model equipped with the available M Sport Package for an aerodynamic body kit, unique wheels, and exclusive paint color options.
