Negotiate Smarter with the Best Car Buying Tools

The 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i is BMW’s smallest crossover, with the smallest engine, and the smallest price tag. This car is based on the reduced version of the BMW X3 crossover which is based on the 3 series car. As a result, purchasing the X1 gets you the most luxury without the hefty price tag. This year’s BMW X1 receives minor updates but carries over all the great features that Canadian car buyers love.



The 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i is a smaller version of the X3 series. The X1 is nearly 8 inches shorter than the X3, 7 inches lower (hence the wagon look), and 386 pounds lighter. All this makes for a $6,500 difference between the two. That’s a lot. When you get in the X1 you’ll notice that all the features are very familiar. It’s not a car that has a bunch of new design language or extremely techy features. The 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i actually has a subset of BMW’s usual tech, which is actually very impressive. They key things are there that you look for in any car.

Inside the 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i you’ll find a nice widescreen display, an 8.8-inch screen that’s a great size for such a compact car. The software installed is the common iDrive which is installed across all models in the BMW series. The standard features in the X1 xDrive28i include AM/FM radio, satellite radio, a CD player, auxiliary connection, and USB for flashdrives and iPod. The one negative aspect of the BMW entertainment console is the fact that it’s starting to look a little bit dated. It doesn’t even come close to the newly designed and modern consoles you’ll find in a Ford, GM, or Toyota these days. BMW introduced a new feature in the 2013 model which allowed you to upgrade to a “tablet” package for $600 and it adds two tablets on each front row seat so that passengers in the back can enjoy a movie. The tablets read SD cards, USBs, and CDs.


The technology in the 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i is relatively routine from BMW. What isn’t so much is what’s under the hood. The X1 receives a turbocharged 2.0-litre V4 engine which is a little unusual for BMW. The numbers on this little engine are quite impressive. With the 2.0-litre engine you get 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The car can go 0-60 in just 6.3 seconds while delivering 10.7 L/100km city driving and 7.13 L/100km on the highway. This engine is hooked up to an eight-speed automatic transmission which provides complete control over an easy and smooth drive. Now if you’re considering buying the X3 xDrive28i, keep in mind that the vehicle weighs over 3,000 pounds more than the X1 but receives the same engine. Consequently, you are getting more bang for your buck by lightening the load and sticking to the X1 xDrive28i.


The exterior of the 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i is sleek and seductive. It’s definitely one of the funkier styles in the BMW line but makes for a great family wagon to get you where you need to be. For a great luxury SUV without the hefty price tag, the 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i is definitely a vehicle you should definitely consider.

Power and Performance:

With four-cylinder xDrive28i versions of the 2014 BMW X1, you have a choice of rear-wheel drive (sDrive28i) or all-wheel-drive (xDrive28i). Altogether, the 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i’s drivetrain is expected to generate a top speed of 130 mph and can do the 60-mph dash in as little as 6.3 seconds. With the four, the X1 feels perky and plenty strong, with 240 horsepower at 5000 rpm and peak torque of 260 pound-feet at 1250 rpm through 4800 rpm. It's coupled only with an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift controls and stop/start. A little perspective could help here: Just this base X1 is as fast to 60 mph as the first E30 M3.

The xDrive all-wheel drive system works with stability control to split torque front to rear (variable to 20:80, with an available Performance Control option); it requires the X1 to retain BMW's former hydraulic steering unit--while the rear-drive sDrive28i can be packaged with a more efficient electric power steering system, hence the gas-mileage differences. Expect BMW dynamic excellence here; you'll find very little body roll or dynamic misbehavior, and the X1 doesn't feel flustered being driven like a sport sedan, or by brittle, broken Michigan byroads. Skip the M Sport package and it's capable of soaking up all kinds of small imperfections without skittering over them in unimpressive ways. Off paved roads, the X1 is surprisingly deft--more so, at least, than you might expect given its off-road performance. While it doesn't have the sort of wheel articulation you need for rutted trails, it has enough toughness and ground clearance for gravel roads or snowy driveways.

Interiors and Special Features:

The 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i has the sophisticated cabin you'd expect in a BMW. Though the standard material for the X1's 5-passenger seating is leather-like "leatherette," the real thing is available for a plusher look and feel. Wood trim is standard in the top X1 and optional in others. The jet-fighter gear selector looks cool but can be confusing at first. Rear-seat legroom isn't plentiful, but passengers do have the ability to recline for added comfort. Though compact on the outside, the X1 offers 47.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the 40/20/40-split rear seats folded. With seats up, there's still 12.7 cubic feet of space, comparable to a car's trunk.

In regards to the standard equipment, you can expect a BMW well-equipped with dynamic cruise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and automatic climate control, though you'll have to adjust the front seats manually. Audio entertainment in all X1s is provided by an 8-speaker, 180-watt AM/FM/CD system with HD radio and USB/auxiliary inputs. The xDrive28i nets all-wheel drive instead of rear-drive. The more powerful xDrive35i is loaded with power front seats, bright xenon headlights, a panoramic moonroof, and 18-inch wheels instead of 17-inchers. Two years of oil changes are also included on X1 models.

Lots of goodies can be had in the X1, many bundled into packages. Among the upgrades are a leather interior, 3-D navigation system with an 8.8-inch screen and an 80-gig hard drive, a great sounding harman/kardon premium sound system, and a rear-view camera. Those who routinely find themselves shivering will appreciate the Cold Weather Package with heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a headlight washing system. M Sport goodies include an aerodynamics kit, sport suspension and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Owners of iPhones will be interested in an app that connects with Internet-based streaming audio and social networks.

Safety features:

Every 2014 BMW X1 xDrive28i comes standard with antilock disc brakes (with automatic brake drying), brake standby, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, active front-seat head restraints and stability/traction control and (on xDrive versions) hill descent control.

Optional equipment includes front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera. Also available is the BMW Assist emergency communications system, which provides automatic crash notification, stolen vehicle recovery and on-demand roadside assistance.

In Edmunds brake testing, the X1 stopped from 60 mph in 125 feet, which is similar to the larger and heavier X3. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing, the X1 received the best possible rating of "Good" in frontal offset, side impact and roof strength tests. It received the second-worst rating of "Marginal" in the Institute's new small overlap front crash test, but few vehicles have been subjected to this test, and a majority received a similar rating or worse.
