BMW X1

Our records hold 29 US-certified versions of the BMW X1, spread across the 3 generations our records cover and model years 2013–2026. Every figure on the pages beneath this one comes from EPA fuel-economy filings, EPA certification test records or Transport Canada vehicle specifications, and each specification page names the source for the figure it shows.

The car has moved a long way inside its own name. Comparing the lightest version we hold under the E84 against the lightest under the U11, the BMW X1 is now 2.0 inches longer and 101 lb · 46 kg heavier. That is the single most useful thing to know before reading a road test written for an earlier generation.

As it stands in the 2026 model year, the BMW X1 measures 177.2 in · 4,501 mm long, weighs 3,827 lb · 1,736 kg to 3,856 lb · 1,749 kg and is rated at 241 to 312 hp across the 2 versions certified for that year. Figures for every year before it are on the pages below.

Engine families we can name from certification data: B48. The linkage covers 17 of the 29 versions — certification records name an engine family reliably only from the late 1990s onward, so the older the car, the more often the field is empty.

Of the 29 versions of the BMW X1 we hold, 20 are all-wheel drive, 6 front-wheel drive and 3 rear-wheel drive.

The archive holds 5 original US brochures for the BMW X1, each with its text searchable and the PDF available to download.
