• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $37,478. The BMW X1 offers a premium cabin with a polished, upscale feel that fits its luxury-SUV character.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The latest X1’s 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder makes 241 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and it returns 25 mpg city, 34 highway, and 28 combined.

• Safety: Active blind-spot detection becomes standard, and it includes a new exit warning function.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
