BMW X1


Every once in a while, a car comes by that shatters perception. The baby of the BMW’s X range, the X1, an Urban Crossover does just that. It is not only the cheapest BMW amongst the company’s range in India, but also one of its variants, the petrol fuelled sDrive18i is actually cheaper than the other urban crossover in the Indian market, the Honda CR-V. Wow! A BMW that is actually cheaper than a Honda! Having said that, we were keen to drive the dearer diesel variant as the engine looked good on paper and being a diesel, would be the preferred option for a crossover.

We were pleased when we were handed over the most powerful and most loaded X1 of the range, the sdrive 20d Exclusive. Also, the diesel, we feel will be the engine majority of the buyers might opt for. At the cost of sounding cliched, we hope we are able to convey the amount of fun that we had with this beamer throughout the review. Read on to find out how the drive unfolded.
