Unscoped catalog background, not specifications for a particular year or trim. Review status is unknown except for the assertions cited below.
The BMW X1 is the smallest and least expensive SUV in the BMW range. Three generations appear in this period, and the change between the first two was fundamental: the E84 sold through 2015 was rear-wheel-drive-based and shared its platform with the 3 Series, while the F48 that replaced it for 2016 switched to a transverse, front-wheel-drive layout borrowed from the Mini.
That change cost the X1 some of its sporting reputation but transformed its packaging — the F48 is shorter than the E84 yet carries more luggage and far more rear legroom. U.S. cars used a 228-hp 2.0-liter turbo four, front-drive as the sDrive28i or all-wheel drive as the xDrive28i.
