Expert Opinion

BMW was one of the first firms to create a true 'SUV' with its road-focused X5, and the German brand has been rather good at continuing to launch models in growing segments. The X1 was its first compact SUV, and unsurprisingly has proven vastly popular as the most affordable and efficient high-riding BMW SUV on the market. Launched in 2009, the X1 became a more compelling option with the second-generation 2015 car, which was roomier and also better to drive. More recently, BMW has introduced a plug-in hybrid model to cater to the fleet segment, while in late 2022, a new-generation X1 launches with an all-electric option for the first time.

About BMW X1

Following the X5, X3 and X6 in BMW's SUV range was the X1. Debuting in 2009, it was the firm's first compact SUV, and opened the brand up to a new audience. Bringing greater practicality than the 1 Series hatchback, it was an instant success. The first car was offered with a choice of rear- and four-wheel-drive, before the second-generation X1 moved to a front-wheel-drive chassis.

The second X1 was also a big step up in terms of design, quality and technology, and has grown to become one of BMW's most popular cars. In late 2022, the third-generation car will reach showrooms, receiving another significant tech boost, while also spawning the electric iX1, which promises a range of up to 272 miles.

Why buy a used X1?

A key draw to the X1 is the fact it's BMW's most affordable and compact SUV. Ideal for those that don't need a larger model like an X3 and X5, the X1 appeals with its great value, with used prices starting from as little as £3,500. At the same time, it still looks and feels like a 'proper' BMW, with clear styling cues carried down from the larger 'X' vehicles, including the chunky, robust-looking wheel arches, large grille and underbody protection (depending on trim level).

Buyers also get plenty of equipment for the money, particularly with the latest cars. Highlights include LED lights at the front and rear, along with parking sensors and an 8.8-inch media display with satellite navigation, meaning you won't feel short-changed. The interior in general is excellent and feels just as well screwed together as you expect from BMW's models, with high-quality materials used throughout. The iDrive infotainment system is also up there with the best and is very easy to use as well.

Despite the X1 being BMW's most affordable SUV, it's a very roomy option - particularly for families. There's plenty of space in the rear seats for adults or taller teenagers on longer journeys. The boot also offers 505 litres of space, extending to 1,550 litres once the rear seats are folded down. These seats also individually fold and slide, which adds to the overall practicality of the X1.

There's also a huge range of engine options on offer, from efficient diesel units to punchy petrol options. With a choice of manual and automatic gearboxes, as well as two- and four-wheel-drive, there really is a derivative to suit most with the X1. Furthermore, there's also a plug-in hybrid version for those looking to lower their running costs, with this being able to travel for a claimed 32 miles on electricity - ideal then for smaller, urban trips.

X1 updates

Here's a short history of the BMW X1. which dates back to 2009.
  • BMW unveiled the X1 in 2009 as a new compact SUV, available with rear- and all-wheel-drive, and impressive levels of interior space.
  • In 2011 BMW expanded the line-up with an M Sport version, with this going on to be the best-seller.
  • A 2012 update saw slight styling changes made to the X1, while the model was offered purely with diesel engines.
  • The second-generation BMW X1 made its debut in 2015, featuring new engines and gearboxes. It also offered a more modern design, greater interior space and further technology.
  • A 2019 update to the X1 saw the addition of a plug-in hybrid model and slight styling tweaks.
  • The third-generation X1 made its debut in 2022, bringing a far more modern design and high-tech, digital interior. An electric iX1 model also became available.
