The compact luxury crossover segment is the hottest it has ever been. BMW X1 is a major player in this segment but the current gen model launched in 2015 is nearing its end of life. Hence, we have the next-gen 2023 BMW X1 that is bigger and more tech-loaded than ever before.
BMW has officially released the 2016 X1, their smallest crossover SUV offering.
In other parts of the developed world, BMW’s best-sellers are the 1-Series, the 3-Series and the 5-Series. We already know that the BMW X6 and the BMW X5 take the second and third spots on BMW’s own sales charts in the GCC, behind the 7-Series.
