2026 BMW X1 sDrive18i Automatic

The 2026 BMW X1 sDrive18i combines the raised driving position and everyday practicality of a compact SUV with the composed presentation expected of a BMW. Its petrol engine produces 115 kW (156 hp) and 230Nm, with power delivered through an automatic transmission and the front wheels. The result is a configuration suited to drivers who want the flexibility of an SUV without stepping into a larger vehicle.

Finished in Black, the X1 has a clean, contemporary appearance complemented by satin-finished aluminium roof rails and the available xLine treatment. The specification includes Black Sapphire metallic paint, 19-inch bi-colour V-spoke style 867 wheels and an aluminium exterior trim package. Together, these details give the vehicle a more distinctive presence while retaining the practical proportions that make the X1 easy to place in urban surroundings and on longer trips.

Inside, the cabin uses black Veganza perforated upholstery and includes sport seats for the driver and front passenger. The xLine configuration adds a luxury instrument panel, while the enhancement package brings electric seat adjustment with memory, heating for the front seats and active seats. Rear-seat adjustment is also included, allowing the cabin layout to be adapted between passenger comfort and carrying needs. A panoramic glass roof contributes to the sense of space and brings more light into the interior.

Technology is a strong part of this vehicle's appeal. BMW Live Cockpit Professional and a head-up display place key driving information within easy view, helping the driver remain focused on the road. The equipment package also includes wireless charging storage, a DAB+ tuner and a Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system. Personal eSIM capability, TeleServices and Intelligent Emergency Calling add connected functionality, while the automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror and Comfort Access system provide useful day-to-day convenience.

Driver assistance equipment is extensive for a compact SUV. Parking Assistant Plus is designed to make low-speed manoeuvring more straightforward, while adaptive LED headlights, High-Beam Assistant and the exterior mirror package support visibility in changing conditions. Driving Assistant Professional adds further assistance technology, and Active Pedestrian Protection and the anti-theft security system contribute to the vehicle's safety and security equipment. A warning triangle and Tyre Repair Kit Plus are also specified.

The X1's compact SUV format, five-seat cabin and front-wheel-drive layout make it a versatile choice for routine commuting, city errands and family-oriented travel. Its 54-litre fuel tank and listed combined fuel consumption of 6.7L/100km provide useful context for its petrol-powered touring ability. With 0 km shown and new-vehicle status, this example presents the model in its current specification, including the xLine, Equipment package Professional and Enhancement Package options.
