Hail to the King: Discover Why the Reviews Recommend the 2017 BMW X1

The 2017 BMW X1 may be the smallest SAV, but many publications recommend it for its size. Well, relative to the competition, of course. But that isn’t all the recently redesigned X1 has to offer. For five great starting places on what makes this worth the test drive, check out the video above. But there are more qualities that makes this Sports Activity Vehicle class-topping.

Compact though it may be, shoppers still want their utility to be able to haul, and the X1 delivers with 27 cu-ft cargo space behind the rear seats, and 59 cu-ft with them folded. With 37 inches rear seat leg room, the X1 offers best-in-class space on the inside. But it also offers a driving experience to match. Under the hood sits a turbocharged inline-four with 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, and the kind of throttle response that makes it really easy to break speed limits (so be mindful!). When you reach that hairpin turn, the X1 will take a bite and hold on like a sport sedan.

Such a marriage of fun and function is hard to find in any SUV, but in the X1, it’s all in a day’s work. To sample its offering for yourself, schedule a test drive with our BMW dealership in Fairfax, VA. Our sales team would be happy to fill you in on additional features and options.
