Cabin noise is great as well, so I can tell that BMW spent quite some time on isolating the driver and passengers from the outside world. The 7-speed DCT is extremely smooth and precise, and its shifts are nearly undetectable. BMW claims this refreshed powertrain gives the X1 enough pep to hit 60. The engine is potent enough for a car of this size, but of course, I am excited to see what the future BMW X1 M35i can deliver. All-wheel drive is standard this time around and the X1 also receives a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The car rides higher than the outgoing X1 model, giving the driver a good view of the road and feeling in control of its driving behavior. Do you recall when I said that this X1 is really more like a smaller X3? That translates into the driving experience as well. Of course, I did push the car on the Autobahn a bit because…American. So this is why I rode mostly in COMFORT, sampling the different driver assistant features and normal city driving. This is a practical crossover, more than ever before, which wants to focus on passengers’ comfort, space and interior amenities. Why you might ask? Because the new BMW X1 is not aiming to be a road warrior. Something I still try to do in every one of my reviews, but now more than ever. Usually, I like to review my BMWs in Sport or Sport+, but this time around, I put myself in the shoes of a normal customer. There is even a Trailer Assist package, similar to what we sampled in the new BMW X7 Facelift. Customers now get radar-based Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Active Cruise Control with stop/go at up to speeds of 112 mph, and Automatic Speed Limit Assist, Route and Junction Assistant, and more. If you pay extra, you can get the Driving Assistant Plus safety package. The system uses cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors to deliver Level 2 driving assistance features. Active Park Distance Control with Reversing Camera and Assistant is also a standard fitment. Lane Departure Warning with Lane Return is also standard. Standard safety equipment includes Front Collision Warning with brake intervention, Cruise Control with brake function, Speed limit info with no-overtaking indicator, Speed Limit Assist and Evasion Assist, among other features. Speaking of the advanced driver assistance systems on the BMW X1 U11. There is even a great implementation of the wireless charging tray which sits in the only position that makes sense inside a car: vertically. You’re getting the latest and greatest infotainment system from BMW, along with high quality leathers and trims, and a plethora of driver assistant features. Inside, this new 2023 BMW X1 is exactly what all the previous models should have been: high tech and premium.
