Good all rounder

Exterior Good all round proportion. Sharp head lamp and tail light designs.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good music system. Control knobs are perfectly placed. The rear seats are far more comfortable with good leg and head room. The pockets provided behind front seats are too small, can hold only a news paper.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox In eco mode, the engine is bit sluggish and the comfort mode is ideal for both city and highway drive.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality, minimal body roll. Very precise steering feed back. wind noise is slightly audible over 100 kmph. The company fitted Bridgestone tyres give enormous grip and confidence in wet road as well as at higher speeds.

Final Words An ideal cross over.The engine delivers its power smoothly and enthusiastically, a characteristic you'll appreciate with a fully loaded X1. In typical driving, this BMW delivers above-average refinement.

Areas of improvement A REAR view camera would have of great help. Interior plastics.

Great driving dynamics. Good engine, gear box and breaking system.Front grill plastics are very fragile. Paint quality is not all that great. Poor front seats
