The new second generation version of the BMW X1 has grown into itself, as an urbane, refined and imminently capable compact crossover built for urban dwellers looking to escape on the weekends, concludes auto critic Tom Voelk in a new review for The New York Times.
Powered by a 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger providing 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque early in the rev range, there’s a touch of lag off the line. It goes from 0 to 60 miles an hour in 6.3 seconds, according to BMW. Drive modes range from environmental Eco to pavement-loving Sport. The 8-speed automatic does its job seamlessly. “Fast and Furious” enthusiasts should know there is no other powertrain available.
