5 Most Appealing Features in the 2024 BMW X1

1. Two Impressive Engine Options

The base model of the X1 features a 241-horsepower turbo-four that gets 295 pound-feet of torque. The M35i xDrive model, a new edition to the lineup for 2024, receives a version of the same engine with a boost to 313 horses. This upgrade cuts the zero-to-60 time from 6.2 to 5.2 seconds. It also gives you BMW‘s Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport Differential for enhanced control.

The X1 gives you exceptional fuel economy of up to 31 highway miles per gallon. Both powertrains provide smooth, confident handling and athletic suspension, each equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

2. State-of-the-Art Infotainment

The X1 shows off an expansive curved digital dash that combines a 10.7-inch touchscreen with a 10.25-inch digital driver information screen. Every model incorporates wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a seven-speaker stereo with HD and satellite radio, four USB ports, built-in navigation, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

You can add wireless device charging, a head-up display that projects on the car’s windshield, and a surround-view camera system. If you love music, don’t miss the available Harman Kardon sound system.

3. Generous Interior Space

Passengers in both rows of the X1 have plenty of space to stretch out. You’ll also appreciate class-leading cargo space of 25.7 cubic feet, which more than doubles when you fold down the second row. A standard power liftgate provides convenient access. Redesigned for the 2023 model year, the X1 has a fresh, modern interior that emphasizes sleek lines.

4. Premium Comfort and Convenience Features

The cabin of this crossover is outfitted with desirable standard features like ambient interior LEDs, remote start, proximity keyless entry, and dual-zone automatic climate control. You can customize your X1 with an array of amenities and upgrades. Optional interior features include open-pore eucalyptus wood trim, genuine leather upholstery, bolstered sport seats, a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, and heated front seats.

5. Comprehensive Driver Assistance

Every trim of the X1 incorporates driver assistance systems such as blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, safe exit alert, pedestrian and cyclist detection, and forward automatic emergency braking. Consider available upgrades like stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, active lane keep assistance, and traffic jam assistance.
