Expert 2025 BMW X1 review

Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors
Full article

What Is the 2025 BMW X1?

The X1 is BMW’s smallest SUV. It’s one of the more fun-to-drive choices in its category, and it seats up to five people in its nicely finished interior. The standard powertrain combines a 241-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The M35i trim gets a 313-horsepower version of the same engine, plus it adds performance-focused upgrades that include an adaptive suspension, unique 19-inch alloy wheels, upgraded brakes, and its own trim and badging. X1 competitors include the Audi Q3, Cadillac XT4, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Volvo XC40.

What’s New on the 2025 BMW X1?

For 2025, the X1 gets standard heated front seats and 5G data connectivity. A heated steering wheel is now offered as a stand-alone option. Additionally, the Premium Package for the xDrive28i model now integrates BMW’s Active Driving Assistant safety suite with adaptive cruise control featuring stop-and-go functionality.

What Features in the 2025 BMW X1 Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • All-wheel drive

Should I Buy the 2025 BMW X1?

The BMW X1 is a fun-to-drive luxury compact SUV with punchy acceleration, responsive handling and a nicely finished interior with a user-friendly infotainment system. The base xDrive28i trim should satisfy most buyers, but the M35i delivers spicier performance for those so inclined.

    Car delivers more than I expected.

    Car delivers more than I expected. Two must have options are Technology Package and Driver Assistance Plus - that combination is hard to find. Sport seats are very comfortable. Lack of knobs and buttons is an issue - miss them. There is a huge learning curve transitioning to a touch screen. You must absolutely make use of the BMW "Genius" service. Highway MPG exceeds advertised value.

    Vehicle is a strong performer (no surprise here given its "M" designation. No disapointments in that regard. Sport seats are very supportive; especially with the lumbar support adjustability. Cabin tech is abysmal though. Not at all intuitive; functions nested down menus where you would never expect them. Owners manual is 480 pages! Really ! While the vehicle makes me smile quite often the complexity of the cabin tech has me cursing every time I start the vehicle. The so-called "Genius" program help line only works Mon. - Fri. Central time in the US! Not too happy about that either.
