As someone who has driven the 2021 BMW X1, the weight of this car is quite crucial! The standard sDrive front-wheel-drive version weighs around 1,500 kg, while the xDrive all-wheel-drive version is heavier at approximately 1,700 kg. As an owner who drives on city roads daily, I feel the extra weight enhances stability—less floating at high speeds, steadier cornering, and especially reassuring on rainy days. However, the added weight also has its downsides: fuel consumption is inevitably higher, with my calculations showing about 8-9L per 100 km in urban areas, and it feels slightly clumsier when parking or navigating tight turns. I’d recommend opting for a lighter version like the sDrive, which is more fuel-efficient and agile, ideal for commuters or weekend getaways. Overall, it’s slightly heavier than the Audi Q3, but its balanced handling makes driving more enjoyable, and adding radar assistance makes daily driving a breeze.
