The versatile, speedy 2024 BMW X1 is a compact SUV loaded with a powerful engine and all the style and luxury you’d expect from a BMW. After a complete redesign for the 2023 model year, the 2024 lineup is relatively unchanged and includes two trim levels: the xDrive 28i and the new, performance-focused M35i xDrive. If you’re looking for a small, comfortable SUV with modern features, this one should be on your list.

xDrive 28i

The base trim of the 2024 X1 is the xDrive 28i, which comes with intelligent all-wheel drive, a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. With 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, you can feel the power as soon as you step on the accelerator. A power liftgate makes it easy to load and unload the cargo area, whether you’re packing for a weekend getaway or stocking up on groceries.

Inside, you’ll enjoy the comfort of the elegant synthetic leather seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, and ambient lighting you can customize to match your mood. A digital instrument panel makes it easy to access the controls, and the 10.7-inch touchscreen is your gateway to all things entertainment and navigation, with the ability to wirelessly connect your smartphone. The xDrive 28i also comes with advanced driver assistance features like forward collision warning, blind spot warning, and front and rear parking sensors.

M35i xDrive

The higher of the 2024 X1’s two trim levels is the M35i xDrive, which features the same all-wheel drive and turbocharged engine, except the engine is tuned for even more power, delivering 312 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, giving you acceleration from 0-60mph in just 5.2 seconds. It comes with 19-inch wheels versus the 18-inch featured on the base trim and includes adaptive suspension dampers that enhance the handling, stability, and comfort of your ride.

The brakes on the M35i xDrive are upgraded from the xDrive 28i and feature blue calipers. The higher trim also comes with adaptive headlights, which swivel with the turn of the steering wheel to better illuminate the road ahead when driving around curves. The entertainment system gets a boost with a premium 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system and keeps your phone charged with a wireless charging pad.

The 2024 X1 is a great choice for your next SUV and is sure to win you over once you experience its power and performance for yourself.
