What's New for 2023?
For 2023, the X1 was slimmed down to include a single trim. Its exterior has been enhanced with slightly larger dimensions and a bolder front end, creating a powerfully dynamic appearance with plenty of road presence. The X1’s interior gained extra tech features, as well, and its powertrain has been upgraded to deliver higher performance.
Powertrain and Performance
The 2023 X1's engine has been redesigned and retuned to offer a welcome boost in power compared to the previous model. Its 2.0L four-cylinder turbo engine delivers 241 horsepower, ample output for a compact SUV, and is capable of propelling the X1 from 0-100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds.
To handle the extra performance, the SUV’s standard transmission has been upgraded from an eight-speed to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic design, with the older transmission still available as an option. All-wheel drive is now standard, as the previous front-wheel drive powertrain was dropped from the 2023 lineup.
High-End Interior and Infotainment
The X1 may be a starting point for BMW ownership, but the interior features all the quality, comfort, and advanced technology you'd expect from this high-end brand. When you get behind the wheel, you'll be immediately impressed by the large digital display that spans more than half of the dashboard and combines an instrument gauge cluster with an infotainment touchscreen into one unit.
Both sections of the curved panel offer exceptional brightness and sharpness, with easy access to technologies such as cloud-connected navigation and smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto. Voice-recognition technology offers hands-free control of the infotainment system, while the centre console’s integrated wireless charging tray keeps compatible devices fully charged for peace of mind as well as even more convenience.
Advanced Active Safety and Driver Assist Technology
The digital display also serves as a way to access and control the impressive range of active safety and driver assist features that come with every X1. Standard highlights of the BMW Driver Assistance system include:
- Active Cruise Control, to automatically keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead
- Lane departure warnings with lane keeping assist
- Lane-control steering, to keep you automatically centred on longer highway journeys
- Forward collision warnings with automatic emergency braking
- Driver-alertness monitoring, to detect tiredness and/or distraction
