A small and energetic SUV with a refined style

If you're looking for a small SUV big on luxury and power, the 2022 BMW X1 has you covered. The X1's turbocharged engine is ready to go at a moment's notice, and its responsive steering will have you seeking out curvy backroads. The 2022 X1 is just as refined as it is fun, with standard leatherette seats, an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and Apple CarPlay® integration. Your passengers will appreciate the rear seat space almost as much as you'll admire the X1's ability to handle everything from your daily commute to an impromptu weekend getaway.

5 reasons to buy the 2022 BMW X1

1. It's got a pep in its step 

The 2022 BMW X1's turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine shows you right away that this subcompact SUV can do far more than pick up groceries. The 228 horsepower engine pairs well with the X1's eight-speed automatic transmission, leaving your hands firmly planted on the steering wheel to enjoy the X1's handling.   

2. Enough tech for your next trip  

Whether you're running errands around town or taking a road trip, the X1's technology features will have you enjoying every moment. Pair your smartphone with the X1 via Bluetooth® connectivity and play your favorite podcast or music through the seven-speaker audio system. Or pair your phone via Apple CarPlay® integration and control it all using the 8.8-inch touchscreen display.  

3. Plenty of room for luxury  

If you're looking for a small footprint without giving up interior comfort, the 2022 BMW X1 fits the bill. Rear passengers will appreciate the roomy rear backseat, and the X1's 27.1 cu-ft of cargo space and storage under the floor give you plenty of room for everything else. Power-adjustable front seats and automatic climate control will keep you comfortable no matter your destination. If you want to further open up the X1's luxury interior cabin, shop for an X1 with an available panoramic sunroof. 

4. It's ready for nearly any road  

The base sDrive28i X1 gives you a capable front-wheel-drive system, and standard rain-sensing wipers offer a clear view of what's ahead. Shop for the all-wheel drive xDrive28i trim — with standard hill descent control — to transfer power to wheels that need it most and enhance the X1's capabilities. 

5. Go beyond standard  

No matter what features you're looking for, there's like a version of the 2022 X1 that's got it. Shop for the M Sport trim to add a sport-tuned suspension and paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Or find an X1 with the optional Premium package for heated front seats, upgraded navigation, and a head-up display.
