BMW’s baby SUV is slightly more expensive for 2021.
The 2021 BMW X1 range starts at $47,900 before on-road costs for the sDrive18i and tops out at $66,900 before on-roads for the top-spec xDrive25i.
Each X1 variant is therefore $1000 more expensive compared to last year.
The BMW X1 competes in the small luxury SUV segment along with cars like the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Volvo XC40, the four of which are far and away the best-selling vehicles in this segment.
All prices exclude on-road costs.
The entry level 2021 BMW X1 sDrive18i is fitted with a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine which produces 103kW of power and 220Nm of torque.
It’s mated to a seven-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox and BMW claims a 0-100km/h time of 9.6 seconds.
Next in the range is the sDrive18d, which uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine that produces 110kW and 330Nm.
An eight-speed automatic gearbox is the only option for this model, while the 0-100km/h time is 9.2 seconds.
The sDrive20i is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and produces 141kW of power and 280Nm of torque.
A seven-speed dual clutch automatic helps get the car to 100km/h in 7.6 seconds.
The top of the range xDrive25i has been fitted with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and produces 170kW and 350Nm.
Power is fed through an eight-speed automatic gearbox to all four wheels via BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system. The xDrive25i can travel from 0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds.
The 2021 BMW X1 uses 6.4L/100km on the combined cycle in the sDrive18i, 5.3L/100km in the sDrive18d, 6.5L/100km in the sDrive20i and 7.1L/100km in the xDrive25i.
All petrol models require 95RON premium unleaded fuel.
The 2021 BMW X1 is 4439mm long, 1598mm tall, 1821mm wide and has a wheelbase measuring 2670mm.
Luggage capacity for the X1 is 505L with the seats up and 1550L with seats folded down.
BMW offers a Service Inclusive package for the X1 range that covers five years or 80,000km. It’s priced at $1750.
All BMW X1s come with the standard BMW three-year/unlimited-kilometre factory warranty.
The BMW X1 scored a five-star rating from ANCAP safety back in 2015.
It scored 90 per cent for adult occupant protection, 87 per cent for child occupant protection, 74 per cent for pedestrian protection and 70 per cent for safety assist.
