BMW X1 BMW X1 (U11) Overview Manufacturer BMW Production 2009–present Body and chassis Class Subcompact luxury crossover SUV Body style 5-door SUV Layout Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive (E84) Front-engine, front-wheel-drive (F48 and U11) Front-engine, all-wheel-drive (xDrive) Dual-motors, all-wheel-drive (iX1)

The **BMW X1** is a line of cars produced by German marque [BMW](/source/BMW) since 2009. It is in the [subcompact luxury crossover](/source/Subcompact_luxury_crossover_SUV) class, and the first-generation X1 was based on the [E90 3 Series](/source/BMW_3_Series_(E90)) and offered [rear-wheel drive](/source/Rear-wheel_drive) layout as standard. At its introduction in 2009, it was positioned as the smallest SUV in BMW line-up, below the [X3](/source/BMW_X3) prior to the launch of the smaller [X2](/source/BMW_X2). The X1 essentially is aiming at a wider range of customers due to its smaller size, increased efficiency, and a lower price tag due to the all-wheel drive layout (*[xDrive](/source/BMW_xDrive)*) being optional.

The second-generation X1 marked the switch to a [front-wheel-drive](/source/Front-wheel_drive)-based layout using the [UKL2 platform](/source/BMW_UKL_platform) shared with the [BMW 2 Series Active Tourer](/source/BMW_2_Series_Active_Tourer) and the [Mini Countryman](/source/Mini_Countryman).[1] Despite its name, it is now only the second smallest SUV produced by BMW since the introduction of the [X2](/source/BMW_X2).[2] The third and current generation was released in 2022.

## First generation (E84; 2009)

BMW X1 (E84)

The E84 X1 is the first-generation model and was originally presented as the BMW Concept X1 at the [Paris Motor Show](/source/Paris_Motor_Show) in 2008.[3] Development of the vehicle started in 2006 when BMW identified the need for a smaller and more efficient model in its SUV line-up as petrol prices were increasing. Due to the urgent need to produce the vehicle, development and pre-production time was shortened by 40 percent compared to previous X Series models.[4]

It is based on the same platform as the [E90 3 Series](/source/BMW_3_Series_(E90))[5] and features the same 2,760 mm (108.7 in) wheelbase. The X1 is the first BMW X Series to be available in the sDrive trim (two-wheel drive). It was not introduced to the United States until 2012.[6]

In 2013, the E84 X1 underwent a [facelift](/source/Facelift_(automotive)), featuring restyled exterior and interior design elements, as well as the integration of [BMW EfficientDynamics](/source/Efficient_Dynamics) on all models.[7] The original X1 sold 820,529 units.

## Second generation (F48/F49; 2016)

BMW X1 (F48)

The F48 X1 is the second-generation model. It is built upon the front-wheel drive based [UKL2 platform](/source/BMW_UKL_platform),[8] and is available in long-wheelbase and long-wheelbase [hybrid](/source/Hybrid_vehicle) variants in China.[9] The range consists of [turbocharged](/source/Turbocharger) [3-cylinder](/source/Straight-three_engine) and [4-cylinder](/source/Straight-four_engine) petrol and diesel engine options.[10] Base models are [front-wheel drive](/source/Front-wheel_drive) (branded as sDrive), with [all-wheel drive](/source/All-wheel_drive) (xDrive) available as an option and is standard for some higher-end models.[11]

## Third generation (U11/U12; 2022)

Main article: [BMW X1 (U11)](/source/BMW_X1_(U11))

BMW X1 (U11)

The U11 X1 is the third-generation model. It is built on the same [UKL2 platform](/source/BMW_UKL_platform) as the previous model, and now has a [battery electric version](/source/Battery_electric_vehicle) called the iX1. Similar to the previous generation, AWD models are badged as xDrive. A range of petrol, diesel, and PHEV models are available. Like the previous model, a China-exclusive long-wheelbase model will be codenamed U12.[12]
