Plus, it rocks BMW’s older i-Drive system and the cabin, as such, does not feel as premium as the competition anymore. For one, you constantly glare into the bare-bones dials, while the rest of the siblings and rivals have moved on to digital instrumentations. Having passed one’s prime, it looks blatantly unexciting. The BMW X1’s cabin is an all-black affair with wood/silver inserts that quite discerningly reeks of the car maker’s yesteryear design inputs. And when the going gets swift, you have paddle shifters to gain total control! Ride Quality and Handling
Lastly, and you’ve guessed by now, Comfort mode strikes a reassuring balance of the two, and is what we preferred to stay slotted in all day long. Sport mode, on the other hand, schizophrenically turns this X1 into a precarious flier since the gearbox clings on to gears for longer and ultimately results in sharper responses from any throttle input. EcoPro mode makes the X1 the laxest of the lot hurried upshifts for frugality and free-wheels when you take your foot off the throttle.

Besides that, the eight-speed Aisin transmission marvellously siphons off the meatiest portion of this motor’s power band to allow for intuitive responses both in the city and on the highway.Īdditionally, aiding the driver with pre-set drive modes to vary the engine/gearbox responses are the EcoPro, Comfort, and Sport modes. Moreover, the grunt from this motor is remarkably linear till it lands up at the rev limits. But what if I was to add that most of its torque is served even before you reach 1,800rpm? Yes, I had a similar look on my face too. I can tell you straight-off that 400Nm is curiously a whole lot of torque for a mill that puts out only so many horses. Plus, it is also available in petrol guise for those who love raving about their machine’s refinement. Under that conspicuously long hood of this 20d X1 is a 188bhp/400Nm 2.0-litre diesel engine that uses an eight-speed automatic gearbox to power the front wheels.
