BMW X1: Maybe the Best BMW SUV on the Road!

BMW redesigned its entry level BMW X1 SUV, making it longer, wider and taller, great for families, drivers who need more cargo space and room for the fur babies. But they didn't stop there; they filled it with standard luxuries and top tech, options for features typically only seen in much more expensive cars, and technology that is also available in the brand's top tier cars.

We checked out all the new tech, the rear seat, new design details and more. And we were impressed.

The X1 Details:
-4 cylinder twin turbo engine
-241 horsepower 295 torque
-X Drive all wheel drive is standard
-Standard curved center display, iDrive 8 and "Hey BMW" voice assist
-Options include head up display, augmented reality navigation and panoramic sunroof
-Available in M Sport and X Line

-Base price $38,600
-Price of our test model about $46,000

I like how detailed you are on your review, you show all the parts we curious about and its a Bmw, the real best or nothing.

I’m leasing a 2021 base model. Drives great. Especially in sport mode.

[tekibejko]

I have BMW X1 xdrive18d model 2021. I think is the best car.

Cali is stunning. :) This video has been recorded in Palm Springs?

I just bought a 2023 with the Premium package. Amazing vehicle.

Cant wait for mine to arrive. My only gripe is that the screen on the left isn't the same size as the one on the right. I dont actually have OCD but it brings the inner OCD out if me 🤣

Minor thing tho.. can't wait for mine!!

Many video reviews complain about “pregnant pause” when starting from a stop. Some complain about “mushy” brake feel. Any comments??

[daniellabadia]

Good video, the rear bench is all forward, that's why you can't cross your legs, it moves ten centimeters back at the touch of a button, you will see that the rear space is enormous

No auto stick feature in the base 2 liter that is surprising. Anyone missing it who owns one. Waiting for mine to arrive at the dealer.

What many dont realize because they dont know history and design if BMW, but the oversized grill some lessors call "buck tooth look" actually pays homage to the earliest BMW designs.

Best buy! i still think the look of the current X3 is very bulky and clumsy.

[paulfortuna]

Waiting on mine with mineral white metallic, M Sport, 19" midnight grey rims, premium enhanced and black exterior contents....

[kdhaha]

What safety mechanisms are in place for the shifter? I feel like I could hit that very easy.

[leomn]

Hello. I am on the market of purchasing a new car. How is the reliability of X1? I am cross shopping between a 2023 BMW X1, BMW 330i, MINI Cooper JCW, or Audi A3/A4.

The tire and road noise is drowning out her loud voice. Good work BMW

[GladBGolden]

Great through review, and cute purse.
I’m looking for a small suv and was researching the used 2017 X1’s & X3’s but leaning towards the X3’s because I am planning to do some cross country travel. I’m now tempted to hold out for a new 2023. 😮

Is the 2023 X1 now the new X3?

[hawaiiguy]

will you be doing one with the MSport model ? I'd like to see a woman's perspective on that MSport . Thanks for this video !

It would be too easy to mess around with the center console on the armrest. What if your kid in the passenger seat accidentally pushes the gear to reverse while driving on the highway?

[fairtrade]

I have noticed in the driving segments of your reviews the sound quality degrades almost to the point of drowning out your commentary and making the road noise of the vehicle much worse than in real life. I have two of the vehicles you tested and I would not have bought them if they were anywhere as loud as they sound on your reviews. I am certain you need to upgrade your microphone as many other reviewers have done. Please consider doing so as your reviews are very well done, but degraded due to a very inexpensive upgrade in equipment.

I love the review. Being a man, not everyone are motor heads ((or finding which store dad left me for 20 years ago or be in cop's case) who love to go 500mph and smash our cars (LOL)).
Unless on a highway, most places are 35mph speed limit. I would love to know the comfort and features for a ME-the driver. I pay for it so it has to be my comfort, right?. Thank you.
