Review

The model

Read full review

The BMW X1 is good to drive, classy inside and hugely practical. It isn't as quiet or comfortable as the best family SUVs, but it's a fine buy if you fancy something a little more sporty.

The trim

See full equipment

Most of the additional kit you get over SE trim is purely cosmetic, with 18in alloy wheels, front sports seats and some contrast stitching on the dash. We’d stick to SE trim and spend the money on some useful options, instead.

The engine

See full engine specs

Essentially the same engine you'll find in a Mini Cooper and it delivers adequate, if not especially quick, acceleration. Our pick of the range.
