What’s new on the 2025 BMW X1?
Exterior
The 2025 BMW X1 has undergone subtle yet striking exterior updates that make it look both bolder and more athletic than previous models. The front grille has been enlarged, following BMW’s latest design language, and is flanked by sleek adaptive LED headlights that provide enhanced visibility. The sculpted lines along the body give the X1 a more muscular appearance, while the widened stance and aerodynamic styling improve both stability and fuel efficiency on the highway. Standard 18-inch wheels complement the athletic build, with larger 19-inch or 20-inch options available for those looking to make a stronger statement.
Another highlight of the X1’s exterior design is its practicality for Canadian climates. The high ground clearance and optional xDrive all-wheel-drive system provide added confidence on snowy or wet roads. The available roof rails enhance its utility, making it easy to attach gear for weekend getaways, from kayaks in the summer to skis in the winter. With a choice of vibrant colour options, including the eye-catching Phytonic Blue and Portimao Blue, the 2025 X1 is built to stand out, regardless of the season.
Interior
Inside, the 2025 BMW X1 boasts a sophisticated and well-appointed cabin that emphasizes both comfort and functionality. High-quality materials, including leatherette and available Sensatec upholstery, cover the seats, while ambient lighting options allow drivers to set the mood for any journey. The new panoramic sunroof, now standard on most trims in Canada, opens up the cabin, making it feel airy and spacious even on longer drives. BMW has designed the layout with practicality in mind, giving drivers and passengers easy access to storage compartments and USB-C ports throughout the vehicle.
The rear seats are spacious for a compact SUV, providing ample legroom for adult passengers, and they can be folded down to create a generous cargo area. The X1’s 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats make it easy to transport larger items while still accommodating a passenger or two in the back. For added comfort during Canadian winters, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are available, ensuring warmth on those frosty mornings. The attention to detail in the interior design reflects BMW's commitment to delivering luxury, even in its smallest SUV.
Features
Powertrain
Under the hood, the 2025 BMW X1 offers a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that delivers a satisfying blend of power and efficiency. This engine produces approximately 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, providing ample power for both city and highway driving. Paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the X1 delivers smooth, quick shifts that enhance the overall driving experience. For Canadian buyers, the available xDrive all-wheel-drive system offers added traction and stability, making it well-suited for winter driving conditions. The more powerful X1 M35 introduced last year shines with even more impressive performance, delivering a stout 312 horsepower and reaching 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds.
Fuel efficiency is also a strong suit for the 2025 BMW X1. With an estimated fuel economy of around 8.4 L/100 km in mixed driving conditions, the X1 strikes a balance between performance and frugality. BMW has also included a variety of driving modes—such as Eco Pro, Comfort, and Sport—that allow drivers to customize the SUV's performance to suit their needs. Whether navigating city streets, tackling wintery rural roads, or cruising on the highway, the X1's powertrain is designed to adapt and deliver an engaging, efficient ride.
Technology
The 2025 BMW X1 is equipped with advanced technology features that elevate both convenience and safety for the modern driver. Front and centre in the cabin is BMW’s new 10.25-inch curved infotainment display, which integrates seamlessly with a 10.7-inch digital instrument cluster for a fully digital cockpit experience. The infotainment system is powered by BMW’s iDrive 8.5 operating system, offering enhanced voice commands, responsive touchscreen controls, and support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For Canadian users, real-time traffic and weather updates can help plan routes and anticipate road conditions.
Safety and driver-assistance technology are robust in the 2025 X1, with a suite of features that includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automated emergency braking. The available Parking Assistance Package provides additional support for urban drivers, including a 360-degree camera system and automated parking assistance, which can be invaluable in tight spots. Additionally, the optional head-up display allows drivers to keep their eyes on the road while viewing key information, from speed to navigation prompts.
