Style & Amenities
The BMW X1's list of features is so long that it starts making your drive easier before you even fire up the engine. For starters, hopping in is so simple you won't even need to take the keys out of your pocket, thanks to standard keyless entry, a push button start, and a power tailgate.
Once you're inside, you'll find a premium cabin that includes classic wood accents along the doors and dashboard. SensaTec upholstery comes standard, but Dakota leather seats are also available in shades like black, oyster, and mocha. No matter what you choose, you'll be in control of a performance-inspired leather-wrapped steering wheel.
There are all sorts of ways to customize your driving experience too. In addition to automatic climate control and an adjustable front center armrest, you'll have interior ambient lighting and power adjustable front seats. With the driver memory function, you can save your settings too. Meanwhile, your passengers can also stretch their legs with sliding rear seats.
