BMW X1 Leasing

The X1 offers decent interior space for 4 adults, with the usual caveat that adding a 5th occupant makes for a tight rear row. This is no different from the rest of the class and the X1 is actually a bit more spacious than average when it comes to boot space. It handily stores more cargo than the Volvo XC40 and Audi Q3, as well as Mercedes-Benz GLA. Handy cupholders in the centre console and door bins can also double as storage space for smaller items. A small cubby by the driver’s knee and another between the front seats make for the perfect place to keep mobile phones and wallets.

The BMW X1 range can be had with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid engines. The plug-in hybrid is the economy champ with a 156.9mpg claimed consumption figure and a low 11% benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax band. If your commute won’t regularly capitalise on the 32 miles of all-electric range, then one of the diesels would be a better fit. Both offer between 50-55mpg, while the petrol variants are closer to 43mpg on average.

Both independent surveys and owner’s comments have shown the BMW X1 to be a reliable and solidly built vehicle. All new BMWs come with a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty for added peace of mind during your lease.

The BMW X1 offers 505 litres of boot space with the rear seats in place. The plug-in hybrid X1 comes in slightly lower, at 450 litres. Fold the back row flat and you get 1550 litres. That is better than any of its main rivals like the Volvo XC40, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Audi Q3.

The BMW X1 can be specced in 4 trims, the main changes being unique interior finishes, sportier front seats and subtle exterior differences. The M Sport trim adds M Sport suspension and unique interior accents. The xLine trim is the ideal blend between luxury and sportiness, although in all cases adding too many options can easily inflate the price.

Every BMW X1 comes equipped with front and rear parking sensors, as well as a reversing camera. Advanced parking and driving assists are also available.

The base price of the BMW X1 is extremely competitive compared to many rivals. It is worth bearing in mind, though, that many desirable features, and most of the advanced safety and driving aids, will cost you extra. For the most cost-effective leasing option, try to stick to the essentials.

Offering the traditionally sharp and engaging BMW driving experience, the X1 also has plenty of interior space, and a range of punchy and economical engines. Capable in a variety of situations, the BMW X1 is a very popular luxury SUV to lease.
