Equipment and handling
The revamped BMW X1, the most popular of the firm's 'X' models, saw comfort and functionality levels being improved. It's a spacious cabin designed for everyday use, particularly from families. There's a hands-free tailgate, a sizeable boot and the interior features an impressive instrument panel and nice durable upholstery and soft touch plastics. The X1 also has a new control display featuring voice control so drivers can have a quick overview of their vehicle's most important information. There's the option of a full-colour head-up display to access this driving information and BMW has added its ConnectedDrive services which improves smartphone connectivity. The new model has a sportier, more bold exterior styling and it's a comfortable car to drive over long journeys. It's also an agile offering for driving around town with responsive engines and nice steering feedback. In its segment, the BMW X1 is a better-built and more fun to drive offering than all of its rivals and it's been a popular choice with buyers since its launch in 2015 for very good reason - they've all enjoyed a quality interior and it's an all-round practical offering.
