X1 [Official] The new 2022 BMW X1 and iX1

It is. They've done a good job with the interior, even though I miss the physical buttons and iDrive knob

The ommision of the knob is a big disappointment.....it's inevitable that BMW will drop it on all models in Future

I don't think that will happen, the recently presented XM brings it, the 7, and as I remember some internal photo of the 5 shows it?

Guessing could it be that in these "cheaper" models and "for young touch generation" they took the opportunity to eliminate them due to the lack of chips?

The contradiction does not close me, that if it is in all the other models... but it may be a delusion of mine

It’s super heavy for zooming in and out while driving. I used it intuitively for they purpose.

At first glance I thought it was am X5M LCI... absolutely stunning ...can't wait to see the next 1 seriesm

They fixed well the odd Minivan proportions of the last gen. It has the best rear of their whole SUV lineup.

Still, together with all the GLA’s, X2’s and whatever it makes more profit to not going more downmarket IMO.

Here in Spain a base X1 with halogen lights makes the main brand image among other grocery rides.

It has the coolest interior design too, especially compared with the XM.

Interior belongs in many classes above.

I wonder how that ballsed up the iX1 so much when the got the i4 so right?? It looks good, drives really well and is very efficient, the only problem is the 12 month waiting list and they don't make it as a Touring!

 

[domleo999]

is the iX1 primarily FWD?

Superb looking inside out.

Too bad it apparently doesn't drive like a BMW at all, but is more like a 'lifestyle car', BMW's new image going forward. Numb steering and understeering. Yikes.

iX1 should be BMWs big seller. If this flops, I can't see how they will be successful in the EV era.

Not according to them:

"The X1 is one of the best-driving vehicles in its segment. Feelsome steering contributes to the X1's tossable and nimble character on the freeway or a winding road."

Pros

• Smooth and powerful drivetrain
• Stylish and well-equipped cabin
• Excellent handling
