There’s no better place to start breaking down the BMW X1 than with its performance. For that, we start with the engine running the show under the hood.

In the case of the X1, it’s a 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine. Effortlessly churning out 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, you’ll feel that sense of strength each time you hit the gas.

Working alongside it is an 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission to provide a much smoother driving experience. Control and handling get some extra reinforcement from the X1’s Driving Dynamics Control with three unique drive modes.

The off-road capabilities of the X1 are handled by a series of advanced systems targeting the vehicle’s stability, traction, and steering. Some of those include:

• 50/50 weight distribution
• Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
• Dynamic Traction Control
• Intelligent all-wheel drive
• Servotronic Vehicle-Speed-Sensitive Power Steering

Enhanced power and handling aren’t all you can expect out of the performance of the BMW X1. If you plan on keeping your rides on the road, you can also look forward to remarkable fuel efficiency. With an EPA-estimated 24 city and 33 highway MPG, you’ll be able to avoid frequent stops for fuel.*

On the inside, the BMW X1 is designed for the comfort and convenience of you and you and your passengers. Up front, you’ll feel it from the second you sit down in the 8-way power front seats with driver’s seat memory. You can conveniently adjust your cabin to your desired temperature with automatic climate control.

If you’d rather enjoy the weather outside, you can do so with the panoramic moonroof. Convenience is filtered throughout the X1, highlighted by its intelligent push button start technology.

Additionally, comfort is provided by the space of the BMW X1 interior cabin. With 40.4 inches of legroom up front, and 37 inches in the back, everyone has some space to stretch their legs. You’ll get even more personal space with 55.6 inches of front shoulder room, and 55.2 inches for those in the back.

When your trip calls for some extra luggage, the 27.1 cubic foot cargo space of the X1 can accommodate anything from vacation suitcases to sports and camping equipment. With 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats, you can even access up to 58.7 cubic feet of space to help out on moving day.

Entertainment and connectivity in the BMW X1 run entirely through an 8.8-inch central touchscreen display. Through it, you can seamlessly integrate your smartphone with Apple CarPlay^® or Android Auto™ to stream your music, view messages, or access navigation.

The X1 also comes standard with an advanced voice recognition system, so you can access it all with the sounds of your voice.

Through the intelligent BMW ConnectedDrive^® Services, you can utilize a variety of connective services, such as an available Head-up Display and BMW Wi-Fi Hotspot compatibility.

There are even more connective services you can take advantage of with the My BMW mobile app. Here, you can find remote functionality and advanced connectivity with features like:

• Remote lock & unlock
• Remote locate
• Digital Key
• Amazon^® Echo integration

With your X1, you’ll also take notice of a number of intelligent, intuitive safety systems. From a standard rear-view camera to the Active Driving Assistant, including features like Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation and Lane Departure Warning, the X1 always has your back.
