BMW X1 xDrive28i

When it comes to small crossover SUVs, the 2016 BMW X1 xDrive 28i is perfect for the average family. This year’s model has several improvements and radical changes from 2015. Though X1 is small, it packs quite a punch compared to others in its class. This SUV will satisfy the family on the go, meaning it works for taking the kids to school, driving them to extracurricular activities, shopping, weekend excursions and a stylish night on the town. The X1 is the smallest in the SUV category, so it might not offer much in utility but it will enhance the family experience on the road.

Let’s start under the hood. The xDrive28i features a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine, which has 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The eight-speed automatic powertrain is standard as is the fuel-economical stop-start system that shuts down the engine when stopped.

The specs include 23/24 mpg in the city, 32 mpg on the highway, a four-year, 50,000-mile basic warranty and rear-wheel drive. The 8-speed shift automatic transmission is gas driven and has seating for five. The X1 is priced starting at $35,795.

The 2016 BMW X1 is offered in three trim levels but the xDrive model is all-wheel drive with hill descent control. The xDrive28i comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, automatic wipers, cruise control, eight-way manual front seats and automatic headlights. There’s also Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, adjustable steering wheel, eight-speaker sound system with a CD player and an iPod/USB audio interface.

Additionally, there’s a Premium Package with keyless ignition and entry, front seat power lumbar support, auto-dimming mirrors, leather seats and satellite radio.  The 28i models have power front seats and a sunroof.

Since this a family-oriented vehicle, safety is of the utmost importance. Standard features include antilock disc brake, front side airbags, and front-seat head restraints. There’s also BMW Assist emergency system, which means if there’s a crash, stolen vehicle or roadside assistance needed, a command center will be notified giving the driver/owner added relief. If you select front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera, the Technology and Driver Assistance packages must be purchased. That package features lane warning; automatic high beams; frontal collision warning with pedestrian warning; speed limit information and reminders; and cruise control with stop-and-go functionality.

While the X1 has plenty of available driver assists, they’re optional.

The 2016 BMW X1 is BMW’s second shot in this category and from all the reviews; it’s a home run. Americans love a value, and it appears that the 2016 BMW X1 will deliver it in big way in a small package. If you are interested in test-driving the 2016 BMW X1 xDrive28i, contact Flemington BMW today.
