BMW X1 xDrive25e M Sport (Hybrid) | Car Review | Jardine Motors Groups

Hot on the heels of the X1 2019 range update comes this latest addition to the stable – a hybrid version that delivers impressive mpg, all-wheel drive and up to 35 miles on electric power alone.

Whether the X1 xDRive 25e makes sense for you depends on your typical week’s driving. If there are many journeys of 30 miles or less, or journeys within an urban area, the plug-in hybrid electric motor and battery will save both fuel and emissions. Yet when you do need more performance or range for longer trips, the petrol engine part of the equation will ensure you never need to worry about finding a charger en route. In every other respect it's simply another BMW X1 – and that means it’s a class-leading compact SUV.

Nice review thanks… question regarding the Xdrive part of the car…. I understand that when in pure electric the car is Rwd and to have 4wd both the petrol and electric need to be running…. But if the car battery is at zero can the car still operate as a 4wd? Thanks…

Boot capacity for the X1 hybrid is 450, not 505. It loses 55 litres as a hybrid.

Yawn, should have bought a Tesla for that price.
