The BMW X1 is a high-quality family SUV known for its fine handling, spacious interior and strong reliability record. This second-generation model featured new engines and technology, positioning it as a competitive choice in the family SUV market. With plenty of boot space and a comfortable ride, it's a well-rounded option for families. The X1 uses the same the platform as the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer which is a mini people mover and inherits many of its good practicality points. That’s one of the reasons why the X1 has more head and legroom in the front and back than its competitors. The X1 is a small, sensible, practical member of BMW’s SUV family – it’s also the most affordable and the value for money is good. But don’t worry, the X1 is a real BMW, right down to the driving dynamics and craftmanship. Without any surprise, the BMW X1 received a five-star rating at the NCAP crash testing. Although the 2018 X1 is BMW's lowest-priced SUV, it doesn't skimp on the things that make crossovers so desirable. If anything, BMW has raised expectations about what a luxury crossover should provide. Ample space for people and their gear, sporty driving characteristics and a premium cabin make it a top pick.
