History

The BMW X1 was introduced in 2009 as the brand's smallest SUV, positioned below the X3. Based on the E90 3 Series platform, it featured a rear-wheel-drive layout. In 2015, the second generation (F48) was launched, marking the shift to a front-wheel-drive platform shared with the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and the Mini Countryman. This generation also introduced turbocharged three and four-cylinder engines, with front-wheel-drive (sDrive) and all-wheel-drive (xDrive) versions. In 2022, the third generation (U11) was unveiled, featuring a more prominent design, superior spaciousness, and advanced digitalization, including the first fully electric version, the BMW iX1.
