The 2021 BMW X1 has a ground clearance of 7.2 inches. This means you can do a bit of light off-roading.
This is also possible thanks to the available xDrive all-wheel drive system. It can detect and anticipate wheel slip based on varying road and weather conditions. Then, it will redistribute power to the wheel with the most traction before wheel slip can occur. As a result, you’ll be able to maintain control on even the slickest surfaces.
The X1 also performs well both on city streets and open highways. One contributing factor to the vehicle’s drivability is the 50/50 weight distribution.
In addition, you’ll have advanced systems like Dynamic Stability Control. This system monitors each wheel individually while also receiving information like vehicle speed and brake pedal position/force. If oversteer or understeer occurs, the system can apply braking at different wheels, so you won’t lose control on the road.
Inside the BMW X1, you’ll find a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. It delivers 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque—more than enough muscle for your daily driving needs.
Plus, the engine is paired with an 8-speed STEPTRONIC Automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes. The transmission shifts smoothly, bringing you up to speed quickly.
Not only is the vehicle quite powerful, but it’s also very efficient, too. It achieves an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway MPG for the all-wheel drive model and a standard EPA-estimated 24 city/33 highway MPG with front-wheel drive.
No matter which one you choose, you can get to work, run errands, and more before needing to stop to refuel.
With this kind of performance, you’ll want to spend hours driving around town. Plus, with the features found inside the 2021 BMW X1, your travels will be all the more enjoyable.
The vehicle offers heated front seats and a heated steering wheel for those especially chilly nights. Plus, with the standard 8-way power front seats, you can quickly get comfortable behind the wheel.
Once you’re situated, you’ll want to take advantage of Apple CarPlay™. This standard feature lets you send text messages, listen to podcasts, and more without needing to handle your phone while driving.
Another useful feature that comes standard is BMW Navigation Business. Your maps will appear clearly on an 8.8-inch high-resolution touch display screen. Plus, it gives Over-the-Air updates for map data up to four times a year, so you’ll have the most current, accurate directions possible.
