The BMW X1 is a five-seat premium compact SUV, and the smallest SUV in BMW's line-up. It's the car most people start with if they want a BMW badge, a raised driving position and a boot that copes with family life.

The current X1 is the third generation, on sale in this form since 2022. It's about 4.50 m long, so it's easy enough to park, yet the boot runs from 476 to 540 litres depending on the version you choose.

The choice is simple enough: one SUV body, three powertrains (petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid), and four trims - Sport, xLine, M Sport and the performance M35i.

About the BMW X1

The X1 is BMW's compact family SUV: five seats, five doors, a 2.69 m wheelbase and a boot of 476 to 540 litres with the rear seats up, rising to as much as 1,600 litres folded. Every version is automatic.

Reviewers consistently praise how grown-up the third-generation car feels compared with earlier X1s - roomier in the back than the exterior suggests, with a genuinely premium cabin. It has picked up small premium SUV awards from the UK motoring press.

The common criticisms? A firmer ride than some family SUVs, especially on sports suspension, and climate and menu functions that now live mostly in the touchscreen. Cover is a three-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty, with eight years or 74,500 miles on the hybrid battery.

Why lease a BMW X1?

Because the standard specification is strong across the whole range, which matters more on a lease than a long options list. Every X1, whatever the trim, gets heated front seats, built-in navigation, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a hands-free tailgate.

Safety kit is standard rather than optional: autonomous emergency braking, active lane-change assist, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera and self-steering parking. Euro NCAP awarded the X1 five stars, with 86% for adult occupant protection and 92% for safety assist.

Practically, it tows up to 2,000 kg braked on the strongest versions, has roof rails as standard and an 11.7 m turning circle. Worth knowing before you order: there's a tyre repair kit rather than a spare wheel.

Which X1 powertrain is right for me?

Pick by how you drive: petrol for lower mileages and simplicity, diesel for long motorway runs, plug-in hybrid if you can charge at home or work. All three are automatic, with a seven-speed gearbox.

Petrol

Petrol X1s run from 168 bhp to 296 bhp, with front- or all-wheel drive, and nothing to plug in. WLTP economy is 35.8 to 49.6 mpg depending on version, and 0-62 mph takes between 5.4 and 8.3 seconds. The sensible choice if you cover mixed, moderate mileage.

Diesel

The 2-litre diesel gives 148 to 208 bhp, front- or all-wheel drive, and the best economy in the range at 54.3 to 58.9 mpg WLTP. If most of your miles are motorway miles, this is still the powertrain that makes them cheapest and calmest.

Plug-in hybrid

A 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine plus a 16.3 kWh battery (14.2 kWh usable), 242 to 322 bhp and all-wheel drive. It needs charging to make sense - the best version takes 1.8 hours to go 0-100% on an 11 kW home charger. Our electric and hybrid leasing guides cover the practicalities.

Which X1 trim should I choose?

Sport covers the essentials, xLine and M Sport change the look and the wheels, and the M35i is the performance one. Because the standard kit list is long, the differences are more about style, wheels and seats than must-have equipment.

Sport

Sport starts at 168 bhp with front-wheel drive, 17-inch Style 875 Star Spoke alloys and cloth upholstery. It includes heated front seats, BMW Live Cockpit Plus with a 10.25-inch instrument cluster and 10.7-inch display, electric heated door mirrors, a powered tailgate and automatic parking assist.

The Sport is currently available from £282.94 a month.

xLine

xLine is about appearance rather than extra equipment: 18-inch Style 866 Aerodynamic alloys and artificial leather upholstery in place of cloth. Mechanically it's the same starting point, at 168 bhp with front-wheel drive, and the same options are open to you.

The xLine is currently available from £466.91 a month. Against the Sport, that is currently £183.97/mo more expensive.

M Sport

M Sport brings the M sport leather steering wheel, 18-inch Style 838 M Double Spoke alloys, part leather trim, front sports seats and paddle shifters. It also adds adaptive and sports suspension - the set-up road testers find firmest, so try it before you commit.

The M Sport is currently available from £343.02 a month. Against the xLine, that is currently £123.89/mo cheaper. Best value

M35i

Then there's the performance X1. The M35i is a 296 bhp petrol with all-wheel drive, 19-inch Style 871 M Double Spoke alloys, privacy glass and a Harman/Kardon surround sound system. It'll reach 62 mph in 5.4 seconds - hot hatch quick, in an SUV.

The M35i is currently available from £663.20 a month. Against the M Sport, that is currently £320.18/mo more expensive.

Across every trim you can add options such as adaptive cruise control, an opening panoramic roof, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging and rear cross-traffic alert, plus the Tech Plus Pack, Tech/Pro packs and Tech Plus Pk Pack. Our guide to choosing your car and spec is worth ten minutes before you order.

BMW X1 FAQs

Yes, for a family of four or five. It has five seats, five doors and a boot of 476 to 540 litres depending on version. Euro NCAP gave it five stars, including 89% for child occupant protection.

It will drive without being charged, but you'd be carrying a 16.3 kWh battery for nothing. Charging is at up to 11 kW, and the best version goes from 0-100% in 1.8 hours. Without off-street parking, choose petrol or diesel instead.

Between 476 and 540 litres with the rear seats up, and 1,495 to 1,600 litres with them folded. Petrol versions give 500 to 540 litres, diesels 476 to 500 litres and the plug-in hybrid 490 litres, since the battery sits in the floor.

Some versions can. Braked towing across the range runs from 750 kg up to 2,000 kg, with 750 kg unbraked, so the limit depends entirely on the version. Diesels are rated at 1,800 to 2,000 kg braked. Check the individual deal before you order a towbar.

BMW covers the X1 for three years with unlimited mileage, which suits high-mileage drivers. There's also a three-year paintwork guarantee, a six-year anti-corrosion guarantee, and an eight-year or 74,500-mile warranty on the plug-in hybrid's battery.

Often, yes, on a like-for-like trim. A monthly rental reflects the gap between the car's cost and its forecast value at the end of the term, plus interest, so a version that holds its value better can cost less per month despite a higher list price. That can change whenever pricing is refreshed.

It depends on what's available at the time, and the order changes as offers are refreshed. The entry Sport trim is currently from £282.94 a month. Check the live X1 deals below, or ask our team and we'll tell you what's on the board today.
