Overview
The BMW X1 is BMW’s C-segment SUV, now in its U11 third-generation form launched in 2023. It suits drivers wanting a five-seat petrol SUV with front-wheel drive rather than an electric iX1. Malaysian pricing starts at RM252,800 for the sDrive20i xLine, with a 201 hp 1,998 cc petrol engine and wet dual-clutch automatic.
X1 in 2026 — what's new
The petrol BMW X1 carries into 2026 unchanged. Recent Malaysian X1-related activity centres on the electric iX1 L, which arrives as a long-wheelbase eDrive20L M Sport, rather than a revised petrol X1. The U11 petrol line-up remains a single-model range: the front-wheel-drive sDrive20i xLine with a 1,998 cc, 201 hp petrol engine, wet dual-clutch automatic and five seats.
Verdict
The X1 costs far more than the RM103,800 Proton eMas 7, RM106,800 Proton X70 and RM106,800 Jetour Dashing. It also sits close to the RM250,800 BMW iX1 and RM250,000 GWM Tank 300. Its case is straightforward: a five-seat BMW petrol SUV with 201 hp, front-wheel drive and a wet dual-clutch gearbox. It is not the low-price route into the C-segment SUV class.
