What's New on the 2023 BMW X1?
Posted on April 28, 2023
Introduced last year, the all-new third-generation BMW X1 provides consumers with a dynamic and sporty small luxury SUV that is also big on space and refinement. And with a host of new technologies and features, the 2023 BMW X1 is a complete package of balanced comfort, refinement, sportiness, and efficiency. Powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 241 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, the 2023 BMW X1 provides the driving dynamics that you expect from a BMW SUV while also offering remarkable versatility that's perfect for your active lifestyle. Here we take a look at what is new on the brand-new BMW X1, including a more versatile interior, improved comfort, and a wide array of new technologies.
More Interior Space
The 2023 BMW X1 still offers compact dimensions that make it easy to drive around the city, but the third-generation X1 is the most spacious and versatile yet. The length has grown by 43 mm while width increases by 24 mm. More importantly, the wheelbase now measures 2,692 mm, 22 extra millimeters compared to the previous X1. This creates a more spacious and welcoming interior with noticeable increases in legroom as well as shoulder room. The cargo area is also more generous, providing ample space for hockey bags, golf clubs, or your family's luggage for those long road trips.
A More Refined and Comfortable Experience
The 2023 BMW X1 is not just more spacious; it is also quite a bit more comfortable thanks in part to new seats that were developed for the 2023 model with the objective of enhancing comfort on long distances. The seats offer multiple adjustments, and they have been tailored to provide optimal ergonomics, reducing fatigue on long drives. The interior of the X1 now features the BMW Curved Display, a frameless glass surface that combines the infotainment system and the digital instrument cluster. This technology houses the latest BMW iDrive multimedia system, which is powered by Operating System 8 to provide a wide range of features that are easily accessible.
Improved Safety and Driving Assistance
The 2023 BMW X1 also gets more advanced safety features, including the optional Driving Assistant Professional, which uses cameras and radars that combine Steering and Lane Control Assistant, as well as Active Cruise Control with Stop and Go function. This technology keeps you centered in the middle of your lane automatically and keeps a preset distance from other vehicles, slowing down to a complete stop if needed. With the Extended Traffic Jam Assist feature, the 2023 X1 provides hands-free driving at speeds of up to 70 km/h.
There are also a wide range of new features that help with parking, including Active Park Distance Control and Reversing Assistant. The BMW Drive Recorder and Crash Recorder allow you to record what is happening around you on the road. Last but not least, the 2023 BMW X1 also includes a new interior camera that allows you to look inside the cabin from your mobile phone. This can be particularly useful if you are not sure where you left your purse, for example.
Combine all of these features with a wide range of dynamic improvements, including an enhanced standard xDrive all-wheel-drive system, improved chassis, and available adaptive suspension, and you have a small luxury SUV that delivers everything buyers want. Give us a call today to learn more.
