The model
Read full reviewThe BMW X1 is good to drive, classy inside and hugely practical. It isn't as quiet nor as comfortable as the best family SUVs, but it's a fine buy if you fancy something a little more sporty.

See full equipmentMost of the additional kit you get over SE trim is purely cosmetic, with black 18in alloy wheels, black accents, 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 specsWe haven't tried the plug-in hybrid xDrive25e yet but, on paper, it's surprisingly nippy and can be driven on electric power alone for up to 31 miles, according to the official WLTP tests.
