Pros More convincing than a petrol X1 New curved display is very appealing Bigger and more practical than older X1s
Cons Could there be a more affordable, less powerful version? It’s a heavy blighter (but then so are most electric SUVs) Lacks the pioneering feel of previous BMW i products
Pros Impressive performance Good rear seat space Decent range on a full charge
Cons Firmer ride than rivals No physical infotainment controls Currently only one very expensive version available
Pros Feels premium Easy to drive Lots of kit as standard
Cons No full one-pedal drive available Pricey for a family SUV Fiddly infotainment controls
Pros Cool exterior design, zippy on-road personality, spacious and nicely styled cabin.
Cons Limited front-trunk space, infotainment system is more retro than futuristic.
Pros Quick acceleration and sporty handling Plenty of room in the front and back Compatible with the latest high-rate charging stations Styling is sleeker than a hatchback and not as bulky as a true SUV
Cons Not as much maximum cargo space as other electric SUVs Front and rear visibility isn't the best Underwhelming range in Edmunds' real-world testing Operation of some driver assist features could be smoother
