Why we love the BMW X1
If you're looking for an SUV but not quite ready to commit to a high-performance model, this is just the car for you. Although it does offer sporty handling and a powerful engine lineup, the X1 is better known for its practicality.
An ideal choice for city dwellers and families, its manoeuvrability, roomy interior, and low running costs make the daily grind a dream. Plus, with plenty of boot space, you can easily fit all your essentials and more.
But having a convenient car doesn't mean you have to compromise on style. Each element is expertly designed and made to last with high-quality materials, so you can enjoy that premium feel for longer.
This is even more important when buying a pre-loved vehicle. The odd scratch mark is inevitable but, as long as it was looked after by its previous owner, you shouldn’t have too much trouble with maintenance.

What features does the BMW X1 have?
Over the years, BMW has become known for its ongoing innovation. And the X1 doesn't disappoint. As a relatively new model, it boasts all the latest advancements in design and technology.
Thanks to its contemporary aesthetic and user-friendly driver assist features, it's fair to say that this SUV is in high demand.
Common features for all models:
- Dual-zone climate control
- Front and rear parking sensors
- LED headlights and taillights
- Auto-dimming rearview mirror
Newer versions will have:
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
- Heated front seats
- Electric folding mirrors
One thing to bare in mind is that the features available will vary depending on the model, trim, and year.
While all X1 cars come with a decent amount of equipment, the xLine is great if you're looking to upgrade from the entry-level SE, offering four-wheel drive (plus leather seats).
Is the BMW X1 expensive to run?
For many drivers, investing in a car that doesn't cost you the earth on a day-to-day basis is a top priority. Generally speaking, the X1 will give you good fuel economy compared to its competitors, meaning you can travel further for less. This is especially useful for those with longer commutes or who visit family up and down the country.
One of the advantages of opting for this car is its efficient engine lineup, offering petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid options.
All of which are available at Exchange and Mart.
This allows you to choose the fuel type that best aligns with your everyday requirements. In particular, diesel models are known for their fuel efficiency, offering good mileage while consuming less fuel.
Remember, running costs will ultimately depend on what kind of driving you do and how often, as well as local fuel prices, so always do some extra research before buying.
Top tip: regularly checking the pressure of the car’s tyres will help to ensure you aren’t using too much fuel on your journeys and spending more than you need!
Are there hybrid options available?
Yes! Offering an eco-friendly and efficient driving option, the BMW X1 is now available in a plug-in hybrid version.
Launched in 2020, the model still retains the stylish design and advanced technology that make the X1 such a popular SUV, while reducing emissions through a sustainable electric motor. It's a win-win! And with the ability to travel for up to 30 miles on just battery power alone, you are able to cover your daily driving needs without relying on fuel.
So, what are you waiting for? With Exchange and Mart, you can now switch to a greener lifestyle without breaking your budget.

How does the BMW X1 compare to other SUV models?
The second-hand car market boasts an impressive selection of SUVs, and with such a variety to choose from, it can be easy to get lost in all the makes and models.
Fear not! The team at Exchange and Mart have done all the hard work for you...
BMW X1 versus BMX X5
Let's kick things off with the BMX X5. If you're looking for something with a little extra legroom and boot space, we would recommend levelling up to this midsize SUV. Due to its higher positioning in BMW's lineup, you may also benefit from additional tech and comfort features.
Alternatively, the small yet mighty X1 offers a more cost-friendly entry point and certainly doesn't fall short on performance. It's a great option for urban drivers and smaller families.
BMW X1 versus Range Rover Evoque
Although similar in its versatility and luxurious feel, the Range Rover Evoque is considered a slightly more rugged and capable off-roader, with terrain management technologies and all-wheel drive. For the adventurous drivers among you, this may be a better fit.
On the other hand, the X1 typically falls into a more affordable price range. So, if you have a lower budget but are still looking for a premium model, this sporty SUV is the one for you.
BMW X1 versus Mercedes-Benz GLA
The battle of the luxury brands. If you're a fan of high-end cars, both models provide an unparalleled driving experience with a range of unique features and premium finishes. Emphasising a smooth and comfortable ride, the Mercedes-Benz GLA prioritises a more relaxed feel. In comparison, the X1 leans towards a sportier performance and practical interior.
Finding it hard to choose? Let's talk budget. Within the luxury SUV segment, both offer great value for money. However, the GLA tends to have a slightly higher starting price and can be more expensive to run.
