2026 BMW X1 sDrive20i Automatic

The 2026 BMW X1 sDrive20i is a new compact SUV that combines a practical five-seat cabin with BMW’s premium-focused approach to equipment and presentation. Finished in Black with a matching Black interior, it offers a smart, understated specification suited to buyers seeking a contemporary urban vehicle with useful everyday versatility.

Power comes from a petrol engine producing 115 kW and 240Nm, paired with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. That configuration is well matched to the X1’s role as a compact SUV, providing a straightforward driving layout and an efficient use of space without the additional weight or complexity of an all-wheel-drive system. The listed acceleration figure is 0-100km/h in 8.30 seconds, while maximum speed is specified as 216 km/h.

Practicality is central to the X1’s appeal. The SUV body provides a higher seating position than a conventional hatchback, while the five-seat layout makes it suitable for regular passenger use. M high-gloss Shadow Line roof rails add useful carrying flexibility for appropriately equipped accessories, and the vehicle’s dimensions include a width of 1845mm and height of 1642mm, giving it a footprint that remains manageable for city driving and parking.

The equipment list places a strong emphasis on convenience, comfort and driver assistance. Electric seat adjustment with memory helps establish a consistent driving position, while heated front seats add comfort in cooler conditions. The automatic transmission includes gearshift paddles, allowing the driver to make manual ratio selections when desired. A tyre-pressure monitoring system and Tyre Repair Kit Plus provide useful support for routine motoring, complemented by an anti-theft security system and warning triangle.

BMW’s connected and information features include a DAB+ tuner, Personal eSIM, TeleServices and Intelligent Emergency Calling. These systems are supported by BMW Live Cockpit Professional as part of the Equipment package Professional, which also includes a head-up display, wireless charging storage, comfort access, adaptive LED headlights, high-beam assistance, an exterior mirror package and Parking Assistant Plus. Together, these features are designed to reduce the effort involved in everyday driving, from keeping key information in the driver’s eyeline to making low-speed manoeuvring easier.

Driver support is further represented by Driving Assistant and Driving Assistant Plus, along with active pedestrian protection. As with any manufacturer-listed specification, equipment and features should be confirmed with the seller for the individual vehicle.

This X1 also has the M Sport option, bringing a more distinctive interior and exterior treatment. The package includes M Sport exterior and interior parts, an M leather steering wheel, sport seats for the driver and front passenger, an anthracite headliner, a luxury instrument panel, adaptive M Suspension and M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing. Black Sapphire metallic paint is listed among the factory options, while the vehicle is displayed in Black.
