2024 BMW X1 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 BMW X1 is available in the xDrive28i model and the sportier M35i xDrive model. The xDrive28i is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The more powerful M35i xDrive packs the same engine but it's tuned to produce 312 hp and 295 lb-ft. The xDrive moniker means these small SUVs feature all-wheel drive, and both engines are backed by a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Keep reading for our breakdown of the X1's standard and optional feature highlights.

Which X1 trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you have the budget for the new M35i, we think it's worth the premium if you're looking for a sportier design and driving experience. But because the base xDrive28i is more feasible for most buyers, it's the one we recommend. Look to also get an X1 with the Active Driving Assistant Pro package. Its extra driver assist features can make long commutes in traffic easier and less tiring.
