It is six cm shorter than its rivals and is also slightly narrower. Nevertheless, offers greater length and a very remarkable wheelbase of 2.76 meters, which are 11 cm more than the average. This translates directly into better and more interior space for passengers.
The front and rear track dimensions are slightly below average. This can be seen reflected in a smaller space in the rear seats as far as lateral space is concerned, although the space for the legs is remarkable thanks to its battle. Turning diameter between curbs It is well above the average, as is its ground clearance, which is close to 19.5 cm.

In boot dimensions, the BMW X1 has 480 liters of capacity. This is about 12 liters above the average for the midsize SUV sector. However, with the rear row of seats folded down, the maximum capacity remains at 1,350 liters. Below the 1,443 liters of its competitors. The size of the boot itself is good and it features an accessible and capable loading port.
It should be noted that if we choose to choose the plug-in hybrid version called xDrive25e, the capacity of the boot will be reduced to 450 liters by batteries. In any case, it would still be a very good figure for a model with a ZERO label.
In short, the X1 is a high-end SUV with good length and wheelbase data but offering less width and height. In the cabin this will translate into good legroom but slightly just for the shoulders and head.
