The BMW X1 was released in 2009 and is one of the best small crossover cars on the market. The second generation was introduced in 2015 as a big improvement of the original range. Fun to drive, the new generation brought sleek style and a premium feel. Although the series is still based on the same platform as the 2 Series Active Tourer, the latest generation was fitted with a classy redesigned body to attract more visually conscious buyers. The X1 offers more engine choices than other series, with petrol options as well as a xDrive20d and the xDrive25d engines. These efficient engines deliver a fun, smooth drive and allow for an excellent performance.
