Some premium family SUVs are more comfortable and better to drive, but you won’t find any that are more spacious than the X1. The pure electric range on offer in the plug-in hybrid versions are impressive, too.
xLine is well equipped, with adaptive suspension, cruise control, a digital driver display, all-round parking sensors and a reversing camera. Crucially, it also comes with smaller wheels that improve ride quality.
The 215bhp petrol xDrive23i is pretty brisk, but unlike the plug-in hybrids, you have to rev it hard to extract its performance. We timed one at our private test track accelerating from 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we created our free New Car Buying service. This links you with trusted local dealers who base their offers on prices haggled by our mystery shoppers.
