Latest Updates on BMW X1

BMW has redesigned the X1 SUV for 2023. The car now sports a bolder kidney-grille, and the exterior dimensions are now larger. The BMW X1 sDrive 20i standard model is equipped with a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine, which outputs 184 PS maximum power and 270Nm peak torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic. The car runs on 17-inch wheels. Major features include a driver-focused cockpit, leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, an 8.8-inch iDrive system with in-dash navigation, and an advanced driver-assist suite. The price of the BMW X1 starts at AED 189,000.

What's New on BMW X1?

Introduction

  • Although it sits at the bottom of the German premium carmaker's sport utility vehicle (SUV) portfolio, the BMW X1 is by no means an entry-level car. The X1 got an upgrade for the 2023 model year, and the 2024 version remains the same. The car has improved considerably over the years. It's available in a single version in the Emirates market.
  • Pros & Cons Things we like in X1 Nicely equipped Spacious for its class Refined drive quality Things we don't like in X1 Over-dependence on touchscreen Expensive Clumsy rear seat folding View More

Exterior

  • The front fascia of the 2024 BMW X1 is dominated by a huge, chrome kidney grille. It's flanked by twin headlight-like lighting elements. The car gets all-around LED lighting. The automatic, adaptive LED headlights are the first in the segment. The square chin lower down looks purposeful. There are provisions for air curtains that direct the airflow around the front tires. The rear part is sculpted out and looks really attractive. A large spoiler extends far out. The taillights get three-dimensional elements. The shark-fin antenna is gone after the upgrade. The 2024 BMW X1 is mounted on the company's new front-wheel-drive architecture. The new platform is much wider and utilises space better. It can accommodate all new driver-assist systems connected tech, and even a full-sized electronic vehicle (EV) battery. The car runs on 19-inch alloy wheels.
  • Ride & Handling Key Highlights The cabin of the 2024 BMW X1 is spacious for its size. The two front seats get electrical adjustment and the driver can easily find the most comfortable driving position with the steering wheel's reach and angle alteration. None of the seats in the BMW X1 have a cooling function. But they do get massage functions. Rear seat comfort is among the best in class. There's plenty of legroom even if the front passengers push their seats back. There's a lot of headroom as well, along with generous under-thigh support. The rear seat can be pushed back by 130mm to get more legroom. The backrest is reclinable, too. Suspension is a bit stiff but improves when the car goes faster. The ride is mostly flat.

  • Engine & Fuel Consumption Key Highlights The 2024 BMW X1 sDrive 20i is hauled by a turbocharged, four-cylinder, 2.0-litre petrol engine that produces 184 PS/270 Nm. The motor is mated to an 8-speed automatic. The most compact SUV from BMW drives pretty well around town. It never feels too large on smaller streets, though it has grown in comparison to the earlier generation. The light steering helps in easy manoeuvring. The large A-pillars block some of the front-corner views, but all-round visibility is still good. There's a bit of engine noise during hard acceleration, but that doesn't upset the drive quality.

Interior

  • The 2024 BMW X1 has a classy interior. The seats, upholstery, and steering wheel are either leather or smooth leatherette. The dashboard gets a number of high-quality bits like double-stitched leather, and strips of chrome and brushed aluminium on the central console. A textured metallic band runs right across. The dashboard can be had in aluminium or wood effect, or piano black plastic. There are some scratchier plastics down under. The centrepiece of the cabin are two conjoined touchscreens. A 10.7-inch unit is for infotainment and is connected to a multi-speaker audio system. The 10.25-inch touchscreen unit is for the driver's information display. Both run on BMW's iDrive 9 system. The fonts and icons are large and easy to navigate. The 2024 BMW X1 comes with dual-zone automatic climate control (with physical buttons), ambient lighting, and a powered liftgate. Switching drive modes is now through a button on the central console. The car gets 540 litres of boot space with all seats up.
