EXPERT RATING

The X1 is the most affordable model in BMW’s line-up of SUVs and the sDrive18d is one of the least pricey in the range listing at $49,900. The sDrive18d is also the only diesel-powered X1.

The X1 is the most affordable model in BMW’s line-up of SUVs and the sDrive18d is one of the least pricey in the range listing at $49,900. The sDrive18d is also the only diesel-powered X1.

The standard features lists for the sDrive18d and its petrol sDrive18i twin are just about identical. There are LED cornering headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, a power tailgate, an auto parking system, and front and rear parking sensors.

Inside, there’s a leather sports steering wheel, a 6.5-inch touchscreen with sat nav, reversing camera, six-speaker stereo, digital radio, air conditioning and floor mats.

In its snout is a four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine making 110kW/330Nm. Shifting gears is an eight-speed automatic. BMW says the 0-100km/h ‘sprint’ takes 9.2 seconds.

The X1 scored the maximum five-star ANCAP rating when it was tested in 2015. While there’s lane departure and forward collision warning, the X1 doesn’t come with AEB or other advanced safety equipment such as blind spot warning and rear-cross traffic alert.
