2021 BMW X1 Preview summaryImage

The 2022 BMW X1 makes terrific use of its subcompact SUV footprint. It provides generous room for passengers as well as up to 58.7 cubic feet of cargo space, which is excellent for its class. With the rear seats in use, the X1 still provides a generous 27.1 cubic feet of cargo space. The X1 was first introduced for the 2013 model year. It was replaced in 2016 with a second-generation model, which was refreshed for 2020. Those changes largely carry over to the 2022 model.

Trims for the X1 are sDrive28i and xDrive28i, each denoting the drivetrain. Both are powered by a 228-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but while the sDrive28i routes power to the front wheels, the xDrive28i is all-wheel drive (AWD). Both utilize an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Whether you opt for the sDrive28i or the xDrive28i, standard features include a power liftgate, automatic climate control, synthetic leather upholstery, and eight-way power-adjustable sport front seats. Both versions also come standard with an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

There are a number of packages available, including the M Sport Package, the Convenience Package, and the Premium Package. The M Sport Package adds a number of performance-inspired design elements. The Convenience Package adds an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, hands-free power liftgate, proximity keyless entry, and a panoramic moonroof. Finally, the Premium Package adds all of the content from the Convenience Package, as well as genuine leather, a heated steering wheel, navigation, and a head-up display.

Standard driver assistance features include automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, automatic high beams, and front-and-rear parking sensors.

The 2022 BMW X1 should cost somewhere north of $35,000 and top out in the $38,000 range. The BMW X1 is backed by a four-year/50,000-mile warranty.

I currently owned an luxury SUV but was looking to buy something smaller/sportier for me & my 7 yr daughter who is extremely active with cheer, school and sports to drive like a coupe style vehicle when I came across the BMW X1, a smaller luxury SUV, that drives and feels like a couple for me. It has everything we was looking for in next vehicle, space, driving & safety features, while giving us the feeling of luxury, we expect and deserve in our vehicles! We love it & the gas mileage is perfect for our active lifestyles.Jul 20, 2024
