BMW X1 Specs and Generations

The BMW X1 is a compact premium crossover blending a raised driving position with hatchback practicality. Here is what separates its generations, and why the version you choose shapes almost everything about the car.

BMW X1 Generations

All BMW X1 generations share the same five-door SUV body, so the real differences sit underneath. The First Generation and its restyling drive like a raised estate, while the Second Generation Restyling and Third Generation adopt a roomier, more upright layout with noticeably better rear legroom and cargo access.

BMW X1 Specifications

BMW X1 specifications vary widely, since the represented range covers diesel, gasoline, hybrid and plug-in powertrains. Each generation brought its own dimensions, drivetrain layouts and equipment levels, so always read the specs of the exact version you are considering rather than treating one figure as typical of the whole model.
