A budget luxury SUV? BMW X1 2023 review | Better than Audi Q3, Mercedes GLA & Volvo XC40?

[@mrhowmuch]

I’m starting to get used to the giant grills , I really like the look of this new X1.

[@srmichael2179]

Soon you will get used to the fact that they go up in flames while driving.

Big grills makes it look big in terms of size. I was never a fan of small grills tbh

I agree with you, this BMW is amazing and from all their models this is the only one that appeals to me design wise beside the former M2 model.

[@DeqiangYU]

The new one looks much nicer. When we bought our 2017 Xdrive 25i I can’t believe it doesn’t have blind spot for the entire lineup. After a few months the B48 engine start sounds like diesel and the transmission is a bit ‘jerk’.

[@mazdar100]

How much nicer is this than the old! (rhetorical question). We just bought the XC40 and oh man, just amazing. Comfortable is the word.

[@srmichael2179]

Good decision. You bought Volvo and not a BMW.

[@nikst7463]

I returned my xc 40 to the dealer after issues with B3 mild hybrid. Regen brake noise and volvo did nothing to repair it they asked for 1 year to solve it through softwer update. Nah thx

I just saw one yesterday, i was awlking past it and it would never cross my mind its X1 it looked huge when walking next to it i was legit thinking its X5 lol

So is the next gen countryman going to be essentially a bmw? Or is the bmw still a mini? Because the next gen countryman will be a very similar size to this

[@rahulprasad4882]

But why, why are the door handles the flap type? Why? What did they achieve by that? How much did they save?

[@ayrplanes]

BMW used flap type door handles in the 1980s. Less wind drag. Harder to grab though.

Reviewers had to check the facts before reviewing a car that can go up in flames

[@gourami7]

New X1 looks a lot sharper, the X2 was a hoot to drive and better looking, they should shift a ton of these

[@DS-pk4eh]

It's strange. This model has different specs for the same engines here in Switzerland. But also there are two hybrid versions, 3! diesel ones and 3 petrol engines. And EV version iX1 is on pre-order. BMW feels the pressure coming from mostly KIA/Hyundai group.

[@srmichael2179]

Hope it is different when it comes going up in flames while driving.

[@joebloggs4191]

I doubt Kia Hyundai are worrying BMW. Products in different class sectors! Different countries get different specs hence why no diesels in Australia

Have test driven the 3cylinder petrol X1 here in the UK, and it's perfomrance is not shabby at all; 0 to 60 in 8.1secs and pulls well from say 30 to 60 for clean overtaking. Plenty of oomph for vast majority of people.

What holds me back is that for similar money, a xc40 or a VW Troc R both have better performance, I wish they had given this a 0-100 of 5.5-6 seconds and it would have been a winner for me. Its very hard to adjust to 7.5 plus 0-100s when you have become accustomed to 5.5 seconds in other BMW and Mercedes products. So disappointed we couldn't get a 30i variant :(
