18-, 19- and 20-inch wheels will be available to fill out those chunky wheel wells. Even the track widths place the tires 1.2 inches farther apart. It also sports a longer wheelbase, up 0.9 inches to 106 inches overall, and it’s wider (72.6 inches) and taller (64.7 inches), too. That’s more than two inches longer than before and less than two inches smaller than the original circa-2003 X3.

Like most things, the BMW X1 has grown in the full generation change, and it’s now 177.2 inches long. For this, buyers get a machine that’s grown in size and substance.
BMW Bigger and Fancier, But Not Much PricierīMW hasn’t announced a replacement for the current front-wheel drive base model X1 (sDrive28i), but the new AWD xDrive28i will start at $39,595, including a $995 destination fee, which is an increase of only $1,200 from its 2022 predecessor.
For now, only one version is slated for the U.S., the turbocharged, 2.0-liter all-wheel drive xDrive28i (right, called the xDrive23i in Europe). The full European X1 lineup includes the new iX1 (left) as well as plug-in hybrid models like the xDrive30e (center). It won’t change immediately, but where the X1 leads the X2 will eventually follow. The automaker also offers the even-smaller X2, a pint-sized crossover coupe that rides the same platform (shared with much of the Mini lineup), but the X1 is a much more popular vehicle on both sides of the pond and the real anchor of the X line. (The larger X3 through X7 are made in South Carolina).
While it isn’t a huge seller like its bigger X3 and X5 brothers, the German-made X1 has proved an important entry point for younger buyers to the rest of the substantial BMW crossover range. BMW doesn’t plan to offer this new variation in the U.S., but it continues Munich’s recent practice of offering battery-only versions of its new models. By packaging the lithium ion unit beneath the rear seats, BMW has retained the nominal 450-litre boot capacity of existing petrol and diesel X1 models.Ī trailer hitch with an electrically swivelling towball is available as an option, endowing the X1 xDrive25e with a towing capacity of up to 750kg.While the X1 xDrive28i will get a considerable bump in power, Europe will get a host of new engines and an all-new fully electric version, the iX1. The battery can be charged either on standard household mains or via a high-power wallbox installation. This uses BMW’s latest battery cell technology to give an electric-only range of 35 miles at speeds of up to 84mph.
Combined fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are put at 134.5–148.7mpg and 43-48g/km respectively, depending on trim and wheel size.Įnergy for the X1 xDrive25e’s electric motor is provided by 9.7kWh lithium ion battery.
