There’s sufficient passenger space front and back, including class-leading front-seat headroom, and the cargo area is rated at 27.7 cubic feet or 767 litres with the rear seatbacks in place, or a maximum of 58.7 cubic feet or 1,662 litres with the rear seat folded down-surpassed only by the GLB. The X1 feels bigger than it really is.In Canada, the X1 xDrive28i goes for $42,275 and up.

This year, the 2021 BMW X1 adds SiriusXM satellite radio with a one-year subscription as standard, which was previously bundled in various option packages. With the M Sport package, 19-inch wheels with summer performance tires are also available. Option packages can also add a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting and head-up display. On the optional equipment list, we find adaptive cruise control, a power tailgate (standard in the U.S.), sport seats, a reclining and sliding rear bench seat, adaptive LED headlights, wireless phone charging, heated front seats (standard in Canada) and steering wheel as well as a Harman/Kardon sound system. Standard features include park sonar, power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, lane departure warning, emergency braking with pedestrian detection, automatic high beams and an iDrive infotainment system with 8.8-inch screen and navigation. Woodgrain, genuine wood and aluminum trimmings are offered to spice up the cabin as well.

The X1’s all-wheel drive system favours the front wheels under normal driving conditions, but can quickly feed power to the rear wheels when the front ones start to slip, and during acceleration or cornering. We can also include the Lexus UX as an adversary, with its naturally aspirated and hybrid powertrains.

Under the hood, the 2021 BMW X1 features a turbocharged, 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that develops 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, managed by an eight-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the Canadian market gets AWD as standard. The X1 is BMW’s subcompact model that caters to small families and empty nesters, while its lineup is actually pretty slim, with only one trim level and a choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive in the United States.
