Exterior

For 2023, the brand’s smallest SUV has received more prominent looks, greater digitalisation, and a more roomy interior. Starting with the exterior design, the upgraded SUV looks more sophisticated with a sloping roofline and a bigger chrome grille flanked by one-piece trapezoidal LED headlights. The front bumper has also been redesigned for an aggressive look. The side profile of the SUV remains largely unchanged except for the sportier-looking 18-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, it gets new L-shaped LED tail lamps and a chunky bumper housing two parallelly placed vertical diffusers and a faux skid plate. Among the aerodynamic enhancements are new flush door handles, aero-optimized side mirror caps, and active air flaps in the front grille.

Speaking of the dimensions, the 2023 BMW X1 is bigger than its predecessor. It measures 4,500mm in length, 1,845mm in width and 4,642mm in height, making it 53mm long, 24mm wide and 44mm tall from its previous model. The wheelbase has also been increased to 2692mm, +22mm longer than before. Its cargo capacity measures 540 litres, which can be expanded to 1,600 litres with the rear seats down.
