Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity).

Neither system is overly intrusive or annoying to use. Blind-spot monitoring works well at least, as does the lane departure warning system. Our loaded-up test X1 lacked the optional adaptive cruise control system, and we'd expect it to be standard on a luxury SUV. USB-C ports all around are perfect for device charging, but the wireless pad cooked our test phone more than it actually charged it. The selectable driving modes that tie in music and lighting to the different drive modes are super gimmicky. Our test X1 had the optional Harman Kardon audio system. Android Auto is also wireless and functioned seamlessly for us. Wireless Apple CarPlay integration is improved, working just as well as a wired connection. We wish that it still had a rotary controller like prior iDrive systems, but the touch-only use isn't too bad. It's a big step up from the last-generation X1, both in usability and overall functionality. How’s the tech? To its credit, BMW makes its iDrive infotainment system a little bit better with each generation. It turns off the engine at strange times, and the engine restart is rough and shoves the car forward. But getting away from a stoplight is sometimes a challenge due to the horrid engine stop-start system.

The steering and small size make it easy to park, too. We like the light-effort steering and smooth-stopping brakes. Sport mode considerably firms up the steering feel, making the driving experience even better on tight roads.Īt city speeds, the X1 is a mixed bag. The M Sport package's summer tires and adaptive suspension are definite advantages here. The power from the four-cylinder is smooth and strong, but wonky transmission tuning keeps the car in too high of a gear a lot of time, leaving the X1 feeling flat-footed when you need a quick burst of power.Īround turns, the X1 provides huge amounts of grip and stays balanced and controllable. At our test track, the X1 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, which is noticeably quicker than the Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLB. How does the X1 drive? Our BMW X1 test car came with the M Sport package that adds 19-inch wheels wrapped in high-performance summer tires.
