Powered by a peppy 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (228 horsepower, 258 pound-feet) and an eight-speed automatic transmission, the BMW X1 is an engaging small luxury crossover. Notably, we picked the 2019 BMW X1 as one of Edmunds' Best Luxury SUVs for this year. Still, for the driver who wants handling, style and functionality, the 2019 BMW X1 is one of the few compact crossovers that can do it all. Additionally, the X1 is like most other BMWs in that it can be difficult - and expensive - to get the exact combination of trim, package and stand-alone options you want. If you're the type of driver who prefers cruising down the road enjoying the scenery, the X1 may not be for you. BMW's focus on sporting potential has resulted in a somewhat firm ride. The main drawback is the X1's ride quality. The X1's 40/20/40-split folding rear seats provide added flexibility to carry a mix of people and cargo. With its rear seats up, it can hold 27.3 cubic feet worth of stuff, which is more than what you'll be able to fit in rivals such as the Audi Q3 or Mercedes-Benz GLA. This pint-size BMW is still plenty practical, too.

Drivers who place handling as a priority can even option their X1 with an adjustable sport suspension. From a handling perspective, the X1 is closer to a sport sedan than its more sluggish competitors.

That's near the top in power for the segment. The X1 has a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.
