BMW X1 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The U11 X1 keeps the formula simple by giving every petrol buyer the 2.0-litre sDrive20i powertrain. That matters because the previous local X1 range made the stronger case for the 2.0-litre sDrive20i over the 1.5-litre sDrive18i. At RM250,800, it costs far more than mainstream C-Segment SUVs such as the Proton X70 and Jetour Dashing, and sits close to the Lexus UX and GWM Tank 300.
