2023 BMW X1
Starting at $40.095

Highs Solid offering of standard equipment, roomier than ever, quiet and controlled ride.
Lows No hardcore M version, steering lacks meaningful feedback, cumbersome climate controls.
Verdict There's nothing radical about the new version of BMW's smallest SUV, but it offers a lot for a smallish price.

Overview
BMW's entry-level SUV, the X1, has been a favorite of ours for some time thanks to its agile handling, eager nature, and practical shape. The 2023 model has received a complete redesign that looks to be a comprehensive upgrade over last year's model, with improvements to its chassis, powertrain, and interior. A new 241-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine is under the hood and is paired with standard all-wheel drive and a seven-speed automatic transmission. Unlike its main rival, the Mercedes-Benz GLB-class, the X1 remains a two-row SUV, but its slightly larger exterior dimensions have translated to extra space inside the cabin according to BMW. Speaking of the interior, it's updated with a more modern design and the latest tech features, including the brand's iDrive 8 infotainment setup.

What's New for 2023?
BMW has redesigned the X1 SUV for 2023. A more powerful four-cylinder engine resides behind a bolder dual-kidney grille. Its larger exterior dimensions promise slightly more interior space for passengers and cargo than the previous generation offered.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
xDrive28i: $40,095

This time around there's only one trim to choose from, and it comes with standard all-wheel drive; the front-wheel drive sDrive28i version isn't continuing on into the new generation. It's possible a higher-performance M-badged model could be in the wings, but for now, the X1 gets only an M Sport equipment package that adds exclusive visual cues and an adaptive M suspension. The xDrive28i comes with plenty of standard equipment, but we'd suggest adding the optional Convenience package, which includes keyless entry, a panoramic sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors, and a wireless smartphone charging pad.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Like the outgoing model, the 2023 X1 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, but the new model boasts 241 horsepower, 13 more than before. All-wheel drive is standard this time around and the X1 also receives a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The X1 xDrive28i we tested, shot to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. Its redesigned suspension improves handling and stability, which makes the X1 a fun drive for twisty roads. An optional M Sport package—don't get this confused with an M model, which may come later—adds performance-enhancing features such as an adaptive suspension system and steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. The M Sport package also adds more aggressively bolstered seats, a unique steering wheel, and several sporty-looking exterior tweaks.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The EPA estimates that the 2023 X1 should deliver 25 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, which is slightly better than the 2022 model in both metrics. When we have a chance to test the new X1 on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route, we'll update this story with the results. For more information about the X1's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The 2023 model is slightly longer, taller, and wider than the outgoing 2022 X1, delivering only minor increases in passenger space as the previous model was already roomy for its size. The interior design is more modern this time around with a toggle-switch shift lever, a floating center console, an all-digital dashboard, and designer elements such as textured speaker grilles. All models come with dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, and a power liftgate. A panoramic sunroof is part of the optional Convenience package while heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standalone options.

I didn't think I would like it over the x3 but I just got one and I can't believe how nice the interior is in person

Seven speed dual clutch is not a good transmission for that car. It's a MINI Countryman platform.

Od razu, pomyślałem, że te płaskie przednie powierzchnie, będą zaraz poobijane od kamyków na autostradzie. Oni też 😅😅 i okleili folią bezbarwną. Do zmiany maska.
