A BMW X1 SUV rental with big-car poise
Drive a X1
The X1 is BMW's smallest SUV, and it drives with the refinement of something much bigger. This subcompact luxury crossover pairs a 241 hp turbo four with standard all-wheel drive — a polished pick for any BMW rental in Canada.
Booking a BMW X1 SUV rental on Turo puts you in charge. You choose the exact X1 you want from a local vehicle owner, then arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans.

Turbocharged punch with all-wheel grip
The X1 earns its BMW badge the moment you press the accelerator. A 2.0 L turbocharged four-cylinder makes 241 hp and 295 lb-ft, sent through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission to xDrive all-wheel drive. The result is 0–100 km/h in 6.4 seconds — brisk for a crossover this compact.
A cockpit built around the Curved Display
The Curved Display takes centre stage the moment you slide behind the wheel. A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster flows into a 10.7-inch infotainment screen under one sweeping panel. Speed, navigation, and media share a single line of sight.
That layout pays off on unfamiliar routes — you can glance at directions without scanning the dash. Spend a few minutes learning the menus before you leave, especially if you're used to physical buttons. Features can vary by year and trim, so check the listing photos for your specific X1.
More room than its size suggests
The X1 looks compact from the curb, but it's built for real luggage. Five seats give couples and small families plenty of space, and the cargo area holds 728 L behind the rear seats.
Fold those seats down and capacity climbs to 1,600 L — room for skis, a stroller, or a week of bags (sometimes all three). That flexibility lets one SUV handle a city errand run on Friday and a weekend getaway on Saturday. If you're packing for a group, confirm how many seats you'll need before folding anything down.
Stand out with an X1
The X1 suits drivers who want BMW polish without a big footprint. Its compact size works well for city driving, it's roomy enough for weekend getaways across Canada, and it fits couples and small families. Renting one is also a smart way to try a BMW SUV before buying — and the X1 sits among many SUV rentals across Canada on Turo.
Top X1 features
xDrive all-wheel drive, standard
Three features set the X1 apart: standard xDrive all-wheel drive, a 1,588 kg towing capacity, and the M35i xDrive performance trim.
Every X1 comes with xDrive all-wheel drive, so you get extra traction without hunting for a special trim. Power reaches all four wheels, which adds confidence when rain or snow rolls across Canadian roads.
That matters when the forecast turns, whether it's a spring downpour on the highway or a snowy morning commute. You still need to drive for the conditions — slow down, leave extra room, and check the listing for tire details before a winter trip. For city streets, highways, and weekend cabin drives, xDrive keeps the X1 steady and sure-footed.
Towing capacity of 1,588 kg
The X1 can tow up to 1,588 kg, a welcome bonus in a compact luxury SUV. That's enough capability for a small trailer, which opens up plans that go beyond what fits in the cargo area.
Picture moving a few pieces of furniture across town or bringing extra gear to a lakeside weekend. Before you hitch anything, check the listing and the local vehicle owner's guidelines to confirm the X1 is set up for towing. Keep your load within the rated capacity, allow extra stopping distance, and take turns a little wider than usual.
An M35i xDrive for extra edge
Some X1s on Turo are the M35i xDrive, the performance version of BMW's smallest SUV. It makes 312 hp and reaches 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds — a full second quicker than the xDrive28i.
Want a sharper drive for a scenic weekend route? Look for this trim — same compact footprint and five seats, with more urgency when you press the pedal. Trim details live in each listing, so check the vehicle name and description to confirm whether you're booking the xDrive28i or the M35i xDrive.

Thank you again Joshua! Great car and smooth rental. The vehicle was clean, ran smoothly, and had no issues during the trip. Pickup and drop-off were super convenient thanks to Joshua, and he stayed responsive and friendly throughout the 40 days i kept the car. Would definitely rent from him again.
Manli is a lovely person and her car is really nice to drive and very new. I would recommend it
Manli’s car was in perfect condition and the communication, and the pick up and return process went super smoothly. I strongly recommend.
This car is amazing, we loved this BMW. Very comfortable, ergonomic, with lot of features and fun to drive. I like the heating steering wheel, heating seats and big panoramic sun roof. There’s even a CD/mp3 player. The driving is very sporty and performant. It’s a very beautiful car. And the hosts are very nice and respectful, good people. All instructions were clear and it’s convenient to pickup and returning the car on the street, I can even park my own car there to switch.
Great car and responsive host. Not the host’s fault, but Turo charged a full extra day for 3 more hours - so make sure you book your times accordingly.
Amazing experience! The car was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and drove perfectly. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the whole process easy from pickup to drop-off. I would definitely book again. Highly recommend!
Car was as described and we did not have any issues so will definitely use Joshua’s car again. Joshua was amazing to deal with and very flexible with pick and drop off . The flexibility really worked out very well for us , much better than any old school rental would have !
Top tips and things to know before renting a X1
Get to know your X1
A little prep goes a long way with the X1 — know its fuel needs, its trim, and what shapes the price.
The X1 runs on premium fuel and averages a combined 8.3 L/100 km. With a 54 L fuel tank, you can plan longer drives with confidence.
Trims vary, so check the listing to see whether you're booking the xDrive28i or the M35i xDrive. The listing also shows features, photos, and guidelines from the local vehicle owner.
X1 driving tips
The X1's dual-clutch transmission can feel different at low speed, so ease onto the pedal in slow traffic and tight parking spots. Give it a few blocks and you'll find the rhythm.
Plan premium-fuel stops before longer drives.
Load heavier items low and toward the front of the cargo area.
Read the listing's guidelines before pickup so you know what to expect.
How much does it cost to rent an X1?
X1 rental prices depend on your trip dates, location, model year, and trim, and the local vehicle owner sets the price. Search your dates to see current options near you.
Staying a while? Many listings offer discounts for longer trips, which can bring down your average daily price. Explore long-term car rental on Turo to compare options.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
