The body dimensions of the previous generation rear-wheel-drive BMW X1 are as follows: length 4484 mm, width 1798 mm, height 1577 mm, with a wheelbase of 2760 mm. The BMW X1 is a compact SUV. It was equipped with three versions of 2.0-liter turbocharged engines. Below are the specifications of these three engines: 1. The low-power version engine has a maximum power of 115 kW, a maximum torque of 240 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 to 6250 rpm and the maximum torque at 1250 to 4400 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. The medium-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 135 kW, a maximum torque of 270 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 to 6250 rpm and the maximum torque at 1250 to 4500 rpm. This engine also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 3. The high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 180 kW, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 to 6500 rpm and the maximum torque at 1250 to 4800 rpm.

I've driven the previous generation rear-wheel-drive BMW X1, with a body length of approximately 4.47 meters, width of 1.8 meters, height of about 1.55 meters, and a wheelbase of 2760 mm. As a compact SUV, these dimensions make it very agile in the city, and parking is easy; the rear-wheel-drive layout combined with a reasonable weight distribution gives it solid steering feel and stable high-speed performance. The interior space is cleverly designed, with the rear seats comfortably accommodating three people without feeling cramped, and a trunk capacity of 480 liters, which is more than enough for grocery shopping or short trips with luggage. For daily commuting or weekend getaways, the size feels just right—not too big, not too small—making parking convenient and fuel-efficient. If I were to switch to a newer model now, the space might be larger, but it would lose some of that pure driving feel.
I remember the dimensions of the previous rear-wheel-drive X1 clearly: a total length of 4467 mm, a width of 1798 mm, a height of 1545 mm, and a wheelbase of 2760 mm. This proportion, combined with rear-wheel drive, ensures a more balanced weight distribution between the front and rear, providing excellent grip when cornering and reducing the likelihood of skidding. It handles city roads with ease and remains stable during high-speed overtaking. The interior space is highly utilized, with ample legroom and headroom in the front seats, and generous legroom in the rear. The trunk space is more than sufficient for daily shopping or family trips. The compact size also improves fuel efficiency, and the overall layout is practical, avoiding the bulkiness of current models, making it more aligned with everyday driving needs.
