Used BMW X1 xLine for sale

What is the BMW X1 xLine?

The BMW X1 xLine is a well-equipped version of the brand's smallest SUV that gets a striking look without the added performance of the M models.

It offers a smoother ride than the sportier trims too, benefitting from softer suspension and a different gearbox with more relaxed – but still quick – gear shifts.

BMW has offered the X1 xLine trim since the first generation and has proven popular in every iteration since.

What are the BMW X1 xLine specs?

The BMW X1 xLine – being mostly a cosmetic trim – can be had with either a petrol or diesel engine mated to either an automatic or manual gearbox.

The fuel economy for this small SUV is impressive too, offering between up to 47.9mpg for the petrol and 58.9mpg for the larger diesel engine.

When it comes to driving, the X1 xLine is smooth and responsive, like all BMWs. It feels more like a hatchback than an SUV around corners, which is no bad thing, increasing the driving pleasure.

Used BMW X1 xLine features and equipment

A BMW X1 xLine for sale comes packed with all the tech you could want in a family SUV.

It has all the features from lower down in the range, including front and rear LED lights, alloy wheels, automatic tailgate and a large infotainment screen running BMW's iDrive software with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Exclusive features of the xLine model include adaptive suspension, cruise control, a digital driver's display, 360-degree parking sensors and a reversing camera.

Crucially, it also sits on smaller wheels with thicker tyres to improve the ride.

Where the X1 xLine sits in the BMW range

The BMW X1 xLine sits as the second trim in the model range, above the Sport but below the M Sport and other M models.

This means it's the perfect blend of classiness and performance, without being too harsh on the roads.

Its closest rivals include the Audi Q3, Mercedes GLA and Volvo XC40.
