The BMW X1 is a line of cars produced by German marque BMW since 2009. It is in the subcompact luxury crossover class, and the first-generation X1 was based on the E90 3 Series and offered rear-wheel drive layout as standard. At its introduction in 2009, it was positioned as the smallest SUV in BMW line-up, below the X3 prior to the launch of the smaller X2. The X1 essentially is aiming a wider range of customers due to its smaller size, increased efficiency, and a lower price tag due to the all-wheel drive layout ( xDrive) being optional.
The second-generation X1 marked the switch to a front-wheel-drive-based layout using the UKL2 platform shared with the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and the Mini Countryman. [1] Despite its name, it is now only the second smallest SUV produced by BMW since the introduction of the X2. [2] The third and current generation was released in 2022.
First generation (E84; 2009)

The E84 X1 is the first-generation model and was originally presented as the BMW Concept X1 at the Paris Motor Show in 2008. [3] Development of the vehicle started in 2006 when BMW identified the need for a smaller and more efficient model in its SUV line-up as petrol prices were increasing. Due to the urgent need to produce the vehicle, development and pre-production time was shortened by 40 percent compared to previous X Series models. [4]
It is based on the same platform as the E90 3 Series [5] and features the same 2,760 mm (108.7 in) wheelbase. The X1 is the first BMW X Series to be available in the sDrive trim (two-wheel drive). It was not introduced to the United States until 2012. [6]
In 2013, the E84 X1 underwent a facelift, featuring restyled exterior and interior design elements, as well as the integration of BMW EfficientDynamics on all models. [7] The original X1 sold 820,529 units.
Second generation (F48/F49; 2016)
The F48 X1 is the second-generation model. It is built upon the front-wheel drive based UKL2 platform, [8] and is available in long-wheelbase and long-wheelbase hybrid variants in China. [9] The range consists of turbocharged 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engine options. [10] Base models are front-wheel drive (branded as sDrive), with all-wheel drive (xDrive) available as an option and is standard for some higher-end models. [11]
Third generation (U11/U12; 2022)

The U11 X1 is the third-generation model. It is built on the same UKL2 platform as the previous model, and now has a battery electric version called the iX1. Similar to the previous generation, AWD models are badged as xDrive. A range of petrol, diesel, and PHEV models are available. Like the previous model, a China-exclusive long-wheelbase model will be codenamed U12. [12]
