Obviously, the smaller size means less space inside, and three passengers across the back seat will feel cramped. Cargo space is rated at 420 litres, but grows to 1,350 litres with the 40/20/40-split rear seatback folded; that’s about the same as in the Audi Q3, smaller than in the Mitsubishi RVR, but bigger than in the MINI Cooper Countryman.
Standard features will include automatic headlights, power heated mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, roof rails, 17-inch alloy wheels, leatherette upholstery, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, a telescopic steering column, power windows, keyless entry, heated front seats, a CD player with MP3 file playback, a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity.
Safety features will also include a bunch of airbags, traction and electronic stability control systems, a dynamic stability control system, hill descent control and, of course, the xDrive.
Options include leather upholstery, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, a panoramic sunroof, a heated wheel, a Sport Package with 18-inch wheels and sport seats, power-adjustable front seats, a navigation system with voice recognition, an intelligent key system, a Harman/Kardon surround sound system, SIRIUS satellite radio and rear park sonar.
The 2012 BMW X1 will be arriving in showrooms as you read these lines, with a $38,500 MSRP excluding taxes, freight and delivery charges.
