Engine: 1,499 cc (Petrol) / 1,995 cc (Diesel)
The X1 offers two distinct powertrains in India. The sDrive18i features a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine producing 134 bhp and 230 Nm. The sDrive18d utilizes a larger 2.0-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 148 bhp and a much higher 360 Nm of torque, making it the preferred choice for highway stability and efficiency.
0-100 km/h: 9.2 Seconds (Petrol) / 8.9 Seconds (Diesel)
The X1 is tuned for efficiency and smooth urban driving rather than outright speed. The diesel variant is slightly quicker to the 100 km/h mark due to its superior torque, while both versions offer a refined power delivery suitable for luxury city commuting.
