BMW X1 Specs

The 2021 BMW X1 runs on a 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine that gets up to 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This impressive powertrain is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that features both Sport and Manual Shift modes. Front-wheel drive comes standard, but xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive is also available.


Interior Dimensions & Design

Inside the BMW X1, you’ll find a classy cabin that offers high-end features and plenty of convenient cargo room. With 27.1 cubic feet of space in the trunk, there’s room for lots of bags. If you need to load more, you can use the folding rear seats to give yourself up to 58.7 cubic feet of cargo room.

Of course, the interior is also designed to give you and your passengers plenty of space to stretch out. There’s 40.4 inches of legroom behind the wheel and 37 inches in the back seats. You’ll also find lots of ways to kick back and relax with power adjustable seats.

The cabin comes with SensaTec upholstery, but comfortable leather is also available. To complete the look, you’ll have a choice between some sleek interior accents, including options like chrome and classic wood tones.


State-of-the-Art Technology

In addition to an interior that would be in style in any era, the 2021 BMW X1 also includes some cutting-edge technology. It starts with the iDrive system. This intuitive infotainment system features an 8.8-inch dashboard monitor and voice control.

Apple CarPlay® is also included to help you connect your phone, so you can stay in touch and stream music. Plus, with BMW Navigation Business, you’ll be able to get turn by turn directions and view a map or your route in real time. You can even get your directions projected right in your line of sight by adding a high-tech Head-up Display.

Your dashboard monitor is more than just a media center. It can help you see what’s behind you when you’re backing up using the Rear-view Camera. It’s just one of the smart safety features that’ll help prevent accidents.
