BMW X1; family car; great value; comfortable; spacious: 2020 BMW X1 Full Review & Road Test

The recently face lifted 2020 BMW X1 is a reasonably economical, highly practical and throughly good-to-drive compact SAV(sports activity vehicle) that’s what the Germans like to call it.
Its definitely much better-looking than the model it has now replaced. In the few years since the launch of the original X1, the crossover SUV market has exploded to the point where it has become far more important than most of the more traditional categories in which BMW uses its established experience and strength. Building an exceptional X1 is probably more vital than ever before now, but have BMW got this new facelifted X1 right?
Find out what happens when we take the BMW X1 to meet Professor BMW himself, Richard Baxter, for his thoughts on whether BMW have cracked it with their facelifted X1.

Love this review very informative and made me laugh just brought this so 4 years old and can get 21 miles from the battery absolutely love it so smooth and love the sound of both electric and petrol. Love the show of the ambient lighting inside and out too!
Went from a Nissan juke Nismo RS manual which was lots of fun to this and I generally cruise this car now as it’s so relaxing but up for fun when I want!
Thanks for the review best one I have seen :)

Nice down to earth review, we are supposed to be having one of these as a company car. Hopefully, the savings in BIK will offset shortfalls in fuel consumption. After a long line of BMW diesels, it will certainly not be as convenient but its the modern world.

30:55 the 12v pump saved me before when i had a screw in the tire, Never used the spray though as it was still enought to drive 10minutes to the mechanic guy and repair at 20€.

Good review. We don't want too rehearsed because "professional" sounds like commercial salesman.
Redesigned 2022 Hyundai Tucson is great alternative to X1. I want to buy both.

A very down-to-earth review of the hybrid X1, but absolutely full of untruths and errors. The Xdrive on the hybrid car is unlike the Xdrive on the non-hybrids in that it's the electric motor that drives the rear wheels and the engine drives the front wheels. My guess is that there is no centre differential either as the electric motor does not drive through the 6 speed (not 7 speed) auto gearbox. Also the 10.25" infotainment screen is NOT standard with the MSport trim - it's an option, part of one of the Tech packs.
