What is the displacement of the new X1?

The new X1 comes with either a 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter displacement. It is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, coded as B38A15C, delivers 140 horsepower and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. Taking the 2021 BMW X1 as an example, it is a compact SUV with a body length of 4565mm, width of 1821mm, height of 1620mm, a wheelbase of 2780mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 61 liters.

Recently I drove the new BMW X1, and there are several displacement options worth discussing. The most basic gasoline version features a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1499cc, delivering 136 horsepower. It's very fuel-efficient for daily driving, with a combined fuel consumption of around 6L/100km, making it ideal for city commuting. The upgraded version comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo, 1998cc displacement, and 192 horsepower, offering quick acceleration—0 to 100 km/h in just 7.7 seconds. It's exhilarating on the highway but slightly thirstier at about 7.2L/100km. Both versions use an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth gear shifts and low noise. BMW might also offer a diesel version, but it's rare in the Chinese market. Overall, the displacement design is very reasonable: the base model is economical and stable, while the high-end version packs plenty of power for car enthusiasts. Compared to the Audi Q3's 1.5T in the same class, the X1 has better fuel efficiency and simpler maintenance. If your budget allows, I recommend test-driving both to feel the difference before choosing—it'll make your driving experience much more enjoyable.

I mainly use it for commuting, and the new X1's 1.5L displacement (1499cc) is just right for me. With 136 horsepower, it handles city driving effortlessly—quick acceleration without sluggishness. Paired with the intelligent start-stop system, fuel consumption is only around 5.8L/100km, saving me dozens in fuel costs each month. The lightweight body design, combined with smooth automatic transmission shifts, makes even congested roads less tiring. I’ve driven the older 2.0L model before but found it unnecessary—higher costs and pricier maintenance. The new 1.5L is perfectly sufficient for daily use. This engine size sets a benchmark for small-displacement in compact SUVs, with excellent noise control, ensuring my child sleeps soundly during rides. BMW has also optimized the emissions system to meet stringent standards, making it eco-friendly and economical—ideal for budget-conscious drivers like me.

The new BMW X1 starts with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, featuring a 1499cc displacement and 136 horsepower. I'm particularly interested in its environmental performance. It utilizes efficient turbo technology to reduce exhaust emissions, complies with Euro 6 standards, and offers low-pollution green mobility. The 2.0-liter 1998cc version also comes with mild hybrid assistance to lower fuel consumption. Overall, the fuel consumption is well-controlled, averaging 6.5L/100km in urban areas and even more economical on highways. BMW is advancing the trend of low displacement, with plug-in hybrid options available in some markets for zero-emission driving. Choosing this car supports sustainable development, allowing you to drive with peace of mind and environmental responsibility.

As a car enthusiast, I particularly favor the new X1's 2.0-liter engine. With a displacement of 1998cc, it delivers 192 horsepower, offering rapid acceleration and thrilling handling. The 0-100km/h sprint takes just 7.7 seconds, making highway overtaking effortless. Paired with xDrive all-wheel drive, it corners rock-solid. The engine produces a deep, pleasant exhaust note that remains enjoyable even on long drives. Compared to the Mercedes GLA 200's weaker 1.3T powertrain, the X1 is more robust and slightly more fuel-efficient, with a combined consumption of 7L/100km. Its sporty tuning ensures quick chassis response and exhilarating driving dynamics, making it highly recommended for friends who pursue driving pleasure.

Our family chose the new X1 with a 1.5L 1499cc engine as our family car. It offers spacious rear seats, easily accommodating a stroller, and provides 136 horsepower, which is sufficient for daily errands and shopping. With a low average fuel consumption of 6.1L, it's economical and practical. Although the 2.0L version is more powerful, its fuel consumption exceeds 7L and comes at a higher price, making it unnecessary unless frequently driving long distances. The suspension is comfortable, ensuring a smooth ride on bumpy roads, and the sound insulation is excellent, keeping children from getting restless. Maintenance is straightforward with affordable parts, offering great value for money.
