2026 BMW X1 M35i xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X1 M35i xDrive brings a distinctly sporting character to BMW’s compact SUV range while retaining the practical shape and everyday usability expected from the X1. Finished in white with a black interior, this new vehicle has travelled 0 km and pairs a petrol engine with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Its performance credentials are substantial for a vehicle of this size. The engine produces 221 kW (300 hp) and 400Nm of torque, with a published 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.40 seconds and a maximum speed of 250 km/h. The all-wheel-drive system is designed to provide assured traction, while the automatic transmission includes gearshift paddles for drivers who want more direct control. Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport brakes reinforce the performance-focused specification without changing the X1’s fundamental versatility.

The exterior design is shaped by a suite of M-specific details. High-gloss Shadow Line trim, M roof rails, an M rear spoiler and 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in Y-spoke style 872 M give the SUV a purposeful stance. The panorama glass roof adds openness to the cabin, while adaptive LED headlights and the exterior mirror package support visibility and convenience. The combination of white paintwork and dark exterior accents creates a clean contrast that suits the model’s athletic positioning.

Inside, the black cabin uses leather Vernasca upholstery, sport seats and an anthracite M headliner. Electric front-seat adjustment with memory, heating for the driver and front passenger, and active-seat functionality add comfort for longer journeys. Rear-seat adjustment provides additional flexibility within the passenger compartment, helping the cabin adapt to changing demands. Black high-gloss interior trim and a luxury instrument panel continue the restrained, driver-focused presentation.

Technology is well represented. BMW Live Cockpit Professional and a BMW Head-Up Display place key information within easy view, reducing the need to look away from the road. The Professional equipment package adds Parking Assistant Plus, a high-beam assistant, wireless charging storage, Comfort Access, an automatically dimming interior rear-view mirror and adaptive LED headlights. A Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system, DAB+ tuner and personal eSIM support the connected and entertaining character of the cabin.

Driver support includes Driving Assistant Professional, Intelligent Emergency Calling, Active Pedestrian Protection and an anti-theft security system. These systems complement the vehicle’s performance equipment with assistance designed for a broad range of driving conditions. A Tyre Repair Kit Plus and warning triangle are also listed, adding useful preparedness for everyday ownership.
