2025 BMW X1 vs 2024 BMW X1

Serving Elmhurst, IL

The BMW X1, a favorite among entry-level luxury crossover SUVs, continues to combine premium features and excellent performance. After receiving major updates with the third-generation redesign two years ago, both the 2025 and 2024 BMW X1 models carry forward with minimal changes. Let’s examine what these models have to offer.

Performance

The 2025 and 2024 BMW X1 are available in two trims: the xDrive28i and the performance-focused M35i xDrive. The xDrive28i trim is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 241 horsepower, paired with a dual-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive for smooth, efficient driving.

For a more dynamic driving experience, the M35i xDrive takes the same engine and enhances it to deliver 312 horsepower. This model also includes adaptive suspension dampers and upgraded braking systems, making it ideal for those who crave sportier handling.

Appearance

Both model years of the BMW X1 feature a bold and modern design that gives this compact SUV an impressive road presence. The front fascia stands tall, highlighted by BMW’s iconic kidney grille, which is now squared off for a refreshed look. Dual-triangular LED headlights add a futuristic touch, while the flared lower fascia and sculpted door panels lend the X1 a muscular, confident stance.

The X1 xDrive28i trim comes standard with 18-inch wheels and a power liftgate, while the X1 M35i xDrive includes 19-inch wheels, blue brake calipers, auto-dimming side mirrors, and a power liftgate for added sophistication.

Features

Both the 2025 and 2024 BMW X1 models offer a wide array of premium features. The xDrive28i trim includes synthetic leather seating, a 10.7-inch infotainment display, a digital instrument cluster, forward collision mitigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, blind-spot monitoring, and parking sensors.

The M35i xDrive trim enhances the luxury experience with a 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, wireless charging, and sport seats. Optional upgrades for both trims include adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, remote engine start, and a driver assistance package to enhance your comfort and safety.
