Now in its second generation, the new 2016 BMW X1 builds on the success of its predecessor with a roomier interior, greater efficiency, and technology on the forefront of innovation.

The BMW X1 xDrive28i is the exclusive model in the U.S. at launch. Featuring a 2.0-liter TwinTurbo four-cylinder engine from BMW's new family of modular engines with maximum output of 228 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, the all-new BMW X1 is the most powerful entry model in the segment. The engine is paired with an eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.

An efficiency-optimized version of the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system, along with newly developed chassis technology helps enhance sporting ability and ride comfort compared to the outgoing model.

The driver-focused cockpit and generously sized surfaces define the interior of the new BMW X1 as a classic Sports Activity Vehicle. The flat surfaces of the instrument panel and center console controls all angled towards the driver aim to help and maintain control over the surroundings at all times regardless of changing road conditions.

The all-new BMW X1 also showcases its exceptional versatility with increased cargo capacity and greater interior space, offering more headroom than before. A power-folding feature enables the rear seats to be folded at the touch of a button inside the luggage compartment. Cargo space has been increased by more than 15 percent, allowing plenty of storage practicality.
