About the BMW X1 U11
The U11-generation BMW X1 represents a significant leap forward in digital integration and interior quality for the brand's smallest SUV. Built on the FAAR front-wheel-drive architecture, it features the striking BMW Curved Display and a minimalist cabin that ditches the traditional iDrive rotary controller. The sDrive18i serves as the entry-level petrol variant, powered by a characterful 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine that balances efficiency with adequate urban performance. In M Sport trim, the X1 gains more aggressive bumpers, 19-inch wheels, and adaptive M suspension, offering a more composed and engaging drive than the standard model.
