The 2026 BMW X1: Balanced Versatility with No Compromises

As the entry point to BMW SUVs, the 2026 BMW X1 is the most compact and versatile SUV in our lineup. Sharing its larger brethren's upscale build and luxurious feel, this BMW SUV is a fantastic introduction to BMW vehicles of any size and body style. Whether you're new to luxury motoring or a seasoned, discerning driver, the BMW X1 beckons you to slip behind its wheel at BMW of Asheville.

Power and Performance

The 2026 BMW X1 relies on a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine for motivation. In the base BMW X1 xDrive28i, the engine produces 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Total system output for the top-of-the-line BMW X1 M35i remains the same for torque, but horsepower increases to 313 ponies. All-wheel drive and a seven-speed automatic transmission are standard for both BMW X1 models.

Towing and Cargo

Despite being the BMW team's smallest SUV, the 2026 BMW X1 is a capable cargo mover. With the right equipment, the SUV can tow as much as 3,500 lbs with ease. Behind its second row, the five-passenger vehicle has 25.7 cubic feet of cargo room. If you fold the back seats, the SUV's cargo capacity swells to 57.2 cubic feet. Accessing the expansive cargo area is easy thanks to the vehicle's power liftgate.

Interior Highlights

In addition to their spacious cabins, new BMW SUVs are celebrated for their interior features. Privacy glass, dual-zone automatic climate control, and power-adjustable, heated front seats are standard for the BMW X1. The SUV's technology features will make you feel at home just as much, and they include:

• 25-inch digital gauge display
• 7-inch infotainment touchscreen
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity
• Built-in navigation
• Bluetooth® integration
• Wi-Fi® hotspot
• Seven-speaker stereo with satellite radio

Safety Features

Advanced safety and driver-assistive features are just as abundant for the BMW X1, which is great news for new and veteran drivers. Front and rear parking sensors and Park Assist make it easy to park the SUV. A Lane Departure Warning and Lane-Keep Assist lend a hand to keep you centered between your lane markers. Speed limit recognition lets you know how fast you can travel legally. Automatic high beams will illuminate the road ahead without input as necessary.
