2026 BMW X1 M35i xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X1 M35i xDrive brings a distinctly sporting focus to BMW’s compact SUV range, combining practical five-seat accommodation with a high-output petrol powertrain and all-wheel drive. With zero kilometres shown, this new example is presented in a Gray Dark exterior with a black interior and automatic transmission.

Its M35i specification is reflected in the mechanical hardware and exterior detailing. The engine is listed at 221 kW (300 hp) and 400Nm, with a quoted 0-100km/h time of 5.40 seconds and a maximum speed of 250 km/h. All-wheel drive gives the powertrain a broader operating envelope, while the automatic transmission includes steering-wheel-mounted gearshift paddles for drivers who want more direct control. Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport brakes further distinguish the vehicle from more comfort-oriented X1 variants.

The X1’s SUV format remains central to its appeal. A relatively compact footprint is paired with five seats, rear-seat adjustment and a practical upright cabin, making it well suited to everyday urban use while retaining the hardware and equipment expected of a performance-focused model. The electric memory adjustment for the front seats, front-seat heating and active seats add useful comfort for regular driving, while the black leather Vernasca upholstery, anthracite headliner and black high-gloss interior trim give the cabin a restrained, performance-oriented appearance.

Technology is a significant part of the specification. BMW Live Cockpit Professional, a BMW Head-Up Display and the Professional equipment package are designed to keep key information visible with less need to look away from the road. The package also includes Parking Assistant Plus, adaptive LED headlights, High-Beam Assistant, an exterior mirror package, Comfort Access, an automatically dimming interior rear-view mirror and wireless charging storage. Driving Assistant Professional adds a further layer of driver-support technology, complemented by Intelligent Emergency Calling, Personal eSIM and TeleServices.

For longer journeys, the equipment mix includes a panorama glass roof, DAB+ radio and a Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system. The panorama roof helps give the cabin a more open atmosphere, while the upgraded audio system provides a more considered listening environment. The 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in Y-spoke style 872 M, high-gloss Shadow Line exterior treatment, M roof rails and M rear spoiler reinforce the vehicle’s sporting character without compromising the versatility associated with the X1 body style.
