BMW X1 SUV 2018 in-depth review | Mat Watson Reviews

The BMW X1 may come in a small package, but it has sporty aspirations with a hint of luxury. The interior is based upon the 2 Series Active Tourer but, with added visibility in the form of a raised seat height. Does the X1 offer enough space however to outclass rivals such as the Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA? Whilst it may have a sportier feel and therefore be more fun to drive, will the firm suspension sit well with passengers? Can it warrant its high price tag in comparison to rivals? Find out exactly what I think of the BMW X1 in this full in-depth video review.

Lol. How often can you find BMWs with adaptive cruise control? You barely find any on the used market and no one tick this box either when it’s new. How sad is that. Some cheaper makes have this feature as standard.

Tbh ,I find that the interior and infotainment system really shows it’s age now ,and not only that but even when I think 4 years back when this was filmed ,I still think the interior was anything but modern and sleek.compare it to the xc60 which also was introduced in 2017 and there is a vast difference

Great review again and looks a leader in the class for sure. I need some advice. Am looking to replace my VW Jetta sedan soon and I'm kind of unsure of the best options. We're a Couple without kids and rarely carry three at the back. I prefer a sporty drive without those boatlike bodyrolls around corners but generally am not a speed maniac on the roads, reserving pulling power on the highways or for the overtaking pass. My wife on the other hand prefers practicality and doesn't like Coupes or sports cars. She would prefer something reliable and with relatively low running / maintenance costs. Anyone can offer any advice re. possible options I could consider?

Curious question, the feature that allows you to fold the middle rear seat down (via pulling the strap from the back-seat as found in 1:09) ... does this come in the standard models or is this feature only available with the "reclining rear seat" extra add on? I don't care much for the sliding or reclining, but the middle seat being able to fold down is a game changer, especially for snowboarding, skiing and even fishing!
