2017 BMW X1 review

1. It's ready to get up and go  

The 2017 BMW X1's engine is ready to go whenever you are. All 2017 X1s come with a turbocharged 2.0L inline four-cylinder engine, producing 228 horsepower to send you and your passengers from zero to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds. M Sport trims kick the fun into the next gear with a sport-tuned suspension, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and an aerodynamic body kit. 

2. Luxury everywhere you look  

The 2017 BMW X1 is a subcompact SUV, but there's nothing substandard about its features. The X1 has 18-inch wheels, rain-sensing wipers, a power liftgate, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Dial up your relaxation with an eight-way power front seat, driver seat memory settings, and a standard seven-speaker sound system. No matter where you glance, you'll spy luxury in the 2017 X1.  

3. Versatile enough for any trip 

Whether you're looking for a small luxury SUV to commute to work or get out of town to commune with nature, the 2017 X1 is up to the task. Shop for the sDrive28i trim for a capable front-wheel drive experience. Or keep an eye out for xDrive28i trims for all-wheel drive, with included hill descent control, for whatever nature has in mind.  

4. The X1 keeps tech in mind  

Connect your smartphone to the 2017 X1 via Bluetooth^® connectivity and use BMW's iDrive system, with a touchpad controller, to view the 6.5-inch infotainment screen. Raise the bar even higher by shopping for an X1 with an available 8.8-inch display and navigation system. With the X1, you're bound to find the tech that fits your needs. 

5. Standard features and then some  

The 2017 X1 boasts standard features, including emergency brake assist, active front-seat head restraints, and front knee airbags. Some available trim models add a frontal collision warning and mitigation system, lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring. When it comes to features, the X1 packs plenty.
