BMW X1 2020 | First drive of the baby X series

BMW has launched the X1 on the same platform but updating almost everything else in the car. Here's my first drive of the updated car.

[mickdaly]

It such a new car they just managed get the undercoat on before bob took it

[brendanbartley]

Bob did you get to dive the 25e X1 if so was it a good drive

[VB-spzd]

Is Bob really tall? Or the X1 short? He makes the X1 look like a 1 series!

[ericrochford]

The lines are becoming so blurred between all these SUV type cars. You have to look twice at the model badge now

[lukegilbert]

Last time I came this early my family could no longer fit in a BMW X1.

don't worry about diesel because oil companies Exxon Mobil and Shell are investing in bio-fuels to make regular diesel obsolete.

[danielrn]

Isn't this the 2020? The '19 is the the pre update.

[marcusbransbury]

Would be really interested to know if the 118 petrol is any good, given diesel resale values could be problematic in a few years. Also, if you could do a quick vid of other colours/specs that are available that would be great. I keep seeing the same colour/spec on other videos.

What version of the 2l diesel engine is this ( engine model number) ? It's a pity that you don't show the engine as part of the review.

[antwonefernandez]

Not to be picky Bob as I could not present a review to save my life but when you’re talking about digital dials vs non digital the dials aren’t ‘manual’ they are ‘analogue’. Just thought I’d mention. 👍🏼

[bellacavachon]

Bob, which is the better car in your opinion? … This X1 or the Volvo cx40?

[BogdanParlea]

Hello and congrats for review. I have to choose between X1 and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Any advice? We are two adults and a toddler. Thanks.

[nickloomes]

Would be interested to hear you thoughts on the PHEV.

[beefiron]

Hey Bob. I'd love to see you do a head-to-head with this and the XC40, if you can get one.

[johnm]

Does it have a 360 degree view camera for parking ?

[teslatrev]

Facelift ... you mean it looked worse than this...and it's diesel and it's 40k you can get something nice for that...

Good car, but too expensive against competition!

[ibleebinU]

My wife purchased the X1 2020 from an X1 2017 and the differences are noticeable and positive.
We're in the USA and have the 2.0 petrol engine. It accelerates with much less lag than before and handles better all around. I'm 6'2" and agree with the smallish seat. Even 1" wider would have been good. She's only 5'4" and it fits her perfectly. Beautifully built and fun to drive. I only wish U.S. manufacturers could even come close to this, especially at this price point.

Wow that is expensive ! Just buy a Mazda CX30 and save yourself some dosh !
