The Sunday Times’ Andrew Frankel has been driving BMW’s forthcoming X1 xDrive 23d SE model. Set to make its world debut this September; Frankel was forbidden from taking any interior shots of the X1, but doesn’t understand why, as it appears to be using little more than dials and switchgear from its 3-Series brother, along with a virtually identical dash, too. Performance from the 204bhp diesel unit sounds promising with 62mph arriving in 7.3sec before hitting a top speed of 140mph.
“The chief point to note here is that the X1 is by no stretch a family car. There’s good space in the front, and the boot is a decent size and shape, but the legroom in the back is tight enough to start anyone other than small children fidgeting soon after climbing aboard.”
You can check out the full review here.
