The latest compact SUV from BMW, the X1 is a real pleasure to drive. the sDrive20i has a 2.0 l, four-cylinder petrol engine with 170 kW/231 hp, while the xDrive25i has the same engine specs with 170 kW/231 hp. The engines link up with either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed Steptronic unit, both of which are new developments.
