Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Fun to drive,
fun to look at, practical enough.
Excellent range and charging.
A Very Good electric car

Cons
It’s a bit big - you have to think full-size SUV when parking -
could be a bit odd-looking for some,
not exactly cheap

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Stylish design inside and out
Good to drive
Fast charging and clever vehicle-to-load tech

Cons
Firmer ride than some alternatives
Rear visibility isn't great
The boot could be larger

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
More stylish than most mainstream EVs,
athletic and refined driving behavior,
comfy and roomy inside.

Infotainment system has some drawbacks,
lacks game-changing driving range,
small front trunk space.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
More convincing than a petrol X1
New curved display is very appealing
Bigger and more practical than older X1s

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
