BMW X1 Review: A more practical 1 Series - Performance

Reviewed by Shawn Jooste

Performance

The BMW X1 xDrive 20i that we tested might not be the most exciting car we’ve tested, but it does the job well enough. Producing 135kW from a 2.0-litre 4 cylinder the BMW X1 doesn’t feel sluggish, but it’s not setting any performance records for SUV’s either. BMW leave that to the X6 department.

Assisted by an automatic transmission the overall performance impression of the X1 is good, acceleration is smooth and the drive solid.
