The BMW X1 is a new-school crossover SUV with a lot of old-school DNA. That means it's a comfortable and compact SUV with the latest tech and safety features. But the X1 also is a joy to drive in that old-school BMW sort of way. It comes standard with a powerful engine and gives you a nimble feel when going around turns. It offers the most cargo capacity in its class as well. For 2021 there are no changes to the X1, which is just fine. The most glaring omission is the continued lack of support for Android Auto. Otherwise the X1 fares well against a crowded field of rivals — many of which are big on style but short on practicality. Closest competitors include the Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA and GLB, although offerings from Cadillac, Volvo and Lexus are also vying for your attention. Classic German style, effortless performance, surprisingly good fuel efficiency, and awd for added safety and confidence. What more could you want? Experience the ultimate driving machine!
