What the Critics Say

Driving the X1 was a delight. After just a hint of lag, the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine was lively from a stop, and clean, snappy shifts from the eight-speed automatic quickly furnished more power.” – Cars.com
If you care about driving dynamics, the X1 should be at the top of your shopping list. Its steering has a weighty feel and delivers good feedback, the suspension keeps the small crossover planted with minimal body roll, and the brakes provide excellent stopping power with a nice firm pedal.” – U.S. News & World Report
