BMW Unveils 2026 X1: More Efficient, Feature-Packed & Sporty
BMW has revealed the 2026 X1, offering improved fuel efficiency and additional features. The compact SUV retains its sporty appeal while becoming more practical and technologically advanced.
The 2026 X1 xDrive28i boasts an EPA-estimated 24 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the highway, and 28 mpg combined. The M35i variant, with 312 horsepower, manages 24 mpg in the city, 32 mpg on the highway, and 27 mpg combined. Both models offer impressive performance: the xDrive28i accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, while the M35i does it in just 5.0 seconds.
Standard features in the 2026 X1 include wireless phone charging and auto-dimming mirrors. Comfort Access ensures keyless entry and start. The interior is spacious, with up to 57.2 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded down. New paint options like Night Dusk Blue and Dune Grey add to its appeal.
Compared to the 2023 model, the 2026 X1 sees incremental improvements. However, no direct comparison with other 2026 models' fuel efficiency is possible due to lack of detailed information.
The 2026 BMW X1 starts at $42,800, a $2,000 increase from the 2023 model. Despite the price hike, it offers enhanced fuel efficiency, additional features, and improved performance. With its spacious interior and new paint options, the 2026 X1 remains a competitive choice in the compact luxury SUV segment.
