REVIEW: BMW has updated its baby SUV for its third generation! Is the X1 now the ultimate family car? Let's find out...
You might be a touch disappointed, though. It’s not for want of a bit of fizz, that’s for sure. The 2.0-litre turbocharged engine has 90% new components, not least of which is the fifth-generation 48V mild-hybrid tech that now integrates the 19bhp electric motor into a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Perhaps more likely to be useful in routine use is the efficiency aspect of the 48V mild-hybrid system, which will decouple the engine if you’ve been coasting in one of the less intense drive modes. Body control is decent, though, and you can feel the xDrive four-wheel drive shuffling power to the rear wheels and delivering a sharper, more enjoyable turn-in than you get with most family SUV alternatives.
Arguably the biggest strength in the X1 is its cabin finish and versatility. The rear seats slide 13cm fore and aft in a 60/40 split, while the seat backs recline or fold flat in a 40/20/40 split, and there’s plenty of leg and head room for a couple of six-footers to slouch in comfort.
