Analysis of the BMW X1 sDrive20d

The smallest of the family X of BMW is opening way to himself on the market of the SUV. On the halfway between a luxurious berlin and a todocamino, the new model of the German mark attracts attention not at all more to see it, his scarce height and his nice design seem to indicate that we are before a tourism and not before a vehicle capable of going along along any area.


The version that we analyze today in this blog dedicated to the engine is the third most accessible of the whole scale, the X1 sDrive20d costs 32.700 euros, and stands out for his excellent engine and his good behavior in all the areas. Perfectly equipped, the options to personalize it are scarce, he has not the possibility of mounting automatic change and only we it can decorate with the bundle X-Line (385 euros) that includes the rails to mount a load device in his roof and finished in aluminum treated in the paragolpes and the frontal grill.

BMW has wanted with the X1 to offer a vehicle with the dimensions of an urban one but with all the features of his family of todoterrenos. It measures 4,45 meters long, 1,79 wide and only 1,54 meters high, it is precisely here where one separates from his competitors, Ford Kuga, Nissan Qashqai or Volkswagen Tiguan, all of them 10 higher centimeters.
