Design overhaul! 

A characterful new design marks 2023, complete with an eye-catching look and feel! From large kidney grilles and angular surfaces, as well as large black plastic cladding, the new design is all things bold! Longer, wider and taller than before, boasting a longer wheelbase, this vehicle gives its all when it comes to space for driver and passenger alike. 2023 is also when the largest range of exterior paint options is unveiled, including both metallic and non-metallic options in shades of blue, black, and white. Among these bold and eye-catching new exterior hues are Blue Bay Lagoon, Cape York Green, Utah Orange, Space Silver and BMW Individual Frozen Pure Grey.

Power packed! 

The all-new X1 once again comes equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine and all-wheel-drive, although some revisions to the powertrain are presented. Instead of the conventional eight-speed automatic transmission, the X1 for 2023 now utilizes a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic unit. This new transmission is sure to provide smooth, quick gear changes, while optimizing shifts to route topography. The engine itself uses the Miller cycle and produces 241 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. This updated powertrain in its third generation means that the X1 competes now with the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, Volvo XC40, the Lexus UX and other entry-level luxury models. This is truly big power in a small package! 

Standard in this model is an intelligent all-wheel drive system, with the X1 automatically distributing power when needed between the wheels for top control in adverse driving conditions.
