2023 BMW X1 Review, Pricing | New X1 SUV Models | CarBuzz

In our previous review of the BMW X1 subcompact luxury SUV, we complimented its roomy interior and sorted driving manners but noticed that it was falling behind the times a little in terms of in-car tech compared to more recent BMWs. Now BMW has replaced the old F48 model with the redesigned U11 third-generation X1, fixing the few shortcomings it had. It has a cutting-edge new digital dashboard, a more powerful 241-horsepower engine, and standard AWD. Still riding on the UKL2 platform, the car has been extensively overhauled and thrust into battle with an impressive new resume. Some of the competitors the BMW X1 will have to face include the class-leading Volvo XC40, along with the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and rivals from Lexus like the UX. The old X1 was a strong contender right up to the end of its life, and the new one finally has a chance to topple the Volvo from its perch as the peach of the luxury subcompacts. Does it succeed?
