Fun to Drive

On the road, the X1 is widely regarded as one of the most engaging and poised vehicles in its class.

Its rigid chassis and precise steering give it a highly composed feel when turning corners, making city traffic and winding country lanes a genuine pleasure.

Visibility

Forward visibility is excellent through the wide windscreen and elevated seating position, and the brakes provide reassuringly firm stopping power.

While M Sport models feature a slightly firmer sports suspension for tighter handling, standard models glide smoothly over everyday road imperfections and speed bumps.

Used BMW X1 Features and Practicality

Do not let its compact footprint fool you; the BMW X1 offers exceptional everyday utility.

It features a highly practical boot capacity of 505 litres with all passenger seats in place, which is highly competitive against its key premium rivals.

Then, when you fold the 40/20/40 split rear seats down, the cargo hold expands to an impressive 1,550 litres, allowing you to load large sports gear or luggage with ease.

5 Door Layout

The popular five-door layout ensures easy access to a cabin that comfortably accommodates up to five occupants.

Your front passengers enjoy plenty of shoulder room, while the rear seats offer a surprising amount of legroom and headroom for adults, further enhanced by a sliding rear seat bench on many models.

Exterior

The exterior design is characterised by its striking kidney grille and chiselled body lines that give it a planted, athletic stance.

Smart, practical details are used throughout, including deep front door pockets, adjustable cup holders in the centre console, and robust ISOFIX child seat anchor mountings on the outer rear seats to keep child seats locked firmly in place.

Modern Interiors

The technological package is then a core strength for the X1 range. The crisp iDrive infotainment touchscreen sits perfectly integrated into the dashboard, providing lightning-fast access to media, vehicle configurations, and digital radio.

Full Link Phone Integration

Standard smartphone integration allows you to instantly mirror your device via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, keeping your favourite playlists and navigation maps readily accessible.
