BMW X1 2024

The sole engine offered last year was a 2L turbo four with 241 horsepower. For 2024, a high-output version of the engine, marketed as the M35i, is available. Power reaches all wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission.

Like some other brands, like Subaru, BMW has moved to a new electric brake booster. Active safety equipment includes a forward collision warning, including for cyclists and pedestrians, autonomous emergency braking and blind spot monitors that include a safe exit feature.

The exterior of the X1 is fronted by a gigantic version of the BMW twin-kidney grille motif. The gille is supplanted by a large air intake which itself is flanked by smaller piercings in the front fascia. The rest of the car is artless and generally unattractive. Inside, the driver faces a shallow but wide computer tablet with vehicle information in front of the driver and infotainment data over the centre console. The infotainment and climate controls are via a touch screen, which is never a suitable way to do things in a car on the move. The rest of the cabin is very interesting, relying on shapes rather than applied ornament to make for a visually calm cabin. With very similar dimensions to its predecessor, cabin space should be about the same, which was adequate space rather than generous.

With L.E.D. headlights, power front seats, heated front seats, blind spot monitors, parking sensors front and rear a forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking and rear auto brakingpower tailgate and auto climate control, the base X1 is reasonably well equipped. Selecting the Premium Essential package adds auto dim mirrors inside and for the door mirrors, touch entry, a dual panel sunroof, heated steering wheel and wireless cellphone charging, at a reasonable price. The Advanced Driver Assistance package, necessary to gain active cruise control, is priced to reflect the value of its contents. Despite the high entry point, buyers need to opt for the  Metallic paint is an $900 option but genuine alloy or wood cabin trim is priced at only $250. The Premium Enhanced package looks a bit expensive.

Below average predicted reliability. Engine and electrical problems are among the expected weak points. Complimentary “scheduled” maintenance for the first four years or 80,000 km. High servicing costs after the warranty expires. The APA recommends oil changes every six months or 8000 kilometers even if the dealer charges you for them outside the complimentary service plan. Four year/80,000 warranty but no additional powertrain warranty after that. Leasing is a way to enjoy the car. A BMW of Canada extended warranty is recommended if you plan to keep your X1 past the four year/80,000 kilometer warranty.

What’s new this year?

New last year, the sole news for 2024 is the high-performance M35i xDrive variant of the 2L turbo four that cranks out 312 horsepower and adds an active suspension as well. Not expected back as a product rationalization move, the X1-based, low-roof X2, has returned to the Canadian market with the M35i engine.
