Replaced an older BMW with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

2026 BMW X1 review
BMW X1: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review
7.5/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 BMW X1 is a reasonable choice if the price is right. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Price climbs fast with options and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $43,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.0 of 5 from 3 owners
Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
