Good job!
@@georgevisan973 thanks !!
👍👍👍
I'm impressed Thomas with these , I've been driving some of them in the UK . I'm glad to see your take on X1 Hybrid
Nice review as always! Thanks!
Thomas: Why? Because they want your money!!!!... for the optional updates...
I knew it. :)
I really love your reviews. I enjoy them. Keep up the good work.
😂👌
Quality content as always Thomas, thank you so much!

Hi Thomas. I appreciate your efforts and interest in making the nice car reviews. Could you please provide us with a car review for ix3?
For sure!
Love your videos! You really show us what is important. I'm currently planning on getting a Mazda SUV but am loving this alternate version from BMW.
Great review in depth. I appreciate your detailed analysis for the BMW X1. The interior looks great, modern looking but not too futuristic.
very interesting review ! I've got the answer to many questions and doubts. Thanks
Great review as always. Are there any chances to see a Lexus ES300h review soon?
Hey Thomas, how does the 4WD mode behave on snow? Can you set a permanent 4WD?
Thanks Thomas and team. Great review! Does anyone happen to know the intro song to the review (at around 1 minute mark)?

Looks like a pretty good vehicle, but not having a blind spot monitor is surprising. Great review as always.
Sorry, in reference to the driving position I have seen both your reviews of X1 2020 and new Tiguan R Line, do you think the seats and driving comfort is better in the VW model?
Does driving in electric drive use the gearbox? I believe the x1 phev uses a 6 speed steptronic. How does it perform comparing to 7 speed DCT and 8 speed aisin?
@32:44 can see a little bit of the ambient lightning interior (blue), which all colors can u pick with this one? the previous models only had Orange and white.
It'll be interesting to see how this will compare to the up and coming 2021 Active Tourer as they've always been similar vehicles. Small SUV or mini MPV [Compact Van], style vs practicality - or hardly any difference?
K Roberts
do you get a lot of tyre road noise on this plug in ,which is the case in a 2.0i x1 with sport suspension
Great review (as always) Thomas. I think in this day and age this interior is the perfect compromise, modern looking but not too heavy on poorly thought out switches and oversized infotainment screens like the Golf VIII. There will come a time when we will miss tactile switches with a great feel to them. It’s what we used to guage a well made car by, as well as the door closing😊
Golf 8 as well as ID3, I think they were designed by home interior designers. It has nothing to do with being ergonomic while driving. Sliding, swiping, pintching works on a sofa while relaxing...by the way I would like to see those pilots who would be mad aboud sliding on a screen while driving.
Got interested in X1 after this video. Thanks for quality review!👌
Welcome 🙏
It really looks too much like my current 225 xe inside, I would hope to change to something more modern next...
Does it have Android Auto also or just Apple CarPlay? Great review!!
nice introduction !
Hi Thomas, thank you for this great review! My question is when the battery is at zero can you still have 4wd ?
Many thanks…
Thanks! Usually they leave a small buffer so it’s possible
Alway enjoy your reviews Thomas! The 25e would be a good upgrade for me from my current X1 but BMW Australia have decided not to make it available. Maybe it's frightened of large spiders :)
Finally! Was looking forward to this review.
Love your reviews, detailed, smooth and very knowledgeable. Don't stop what your doing because your damn good at it !
However for this car, would be good if BMW upped the interior more like the Mercedes, people want all the jazz sometimes.
Thanks!!
This Gonna be my next car been dreaming for this one ❤️
Thomas. Have you tried how the xdrive in the X1 e version works in snow, ice and mud? Would it be a real 4 wheel drive for “difficult” road conditions?
I've seen some videos where it does really well off road. The only issue is the ground clearance and the added weight of the battery only giving 90hp to the rear axle. So going up a steep, bumpy slope you might have trouble. But snow, rain, mud, forest trails, sand it managed without issue and better than the Audi Q3.
Whats the difference to the old interior?
I'd like to see X2 LCI review! :)
I’ve read that the X3 PHEV has got a smaller boot of 460l. So they did a better job with this one in terms of practicality.
Yeah the platform is more practical
Big BMW Fan. Little suggestion when you give the power figure, can you put the number on video? Thank you
Seconded, I process text on screen better as well.
same here, not just power figures, also boot measurements, etc
Whats the mpg after the plug inn battery is depleted? I drive a C-Max hybrid. Plug in hybrids are great for commuters but hybrids I find are better for high mileage drivers (rideshare). I can never find mpg ratings in just hybrid mode after the plug in is depleted from full charge.
We often do that in phev reviews - when we could deplete it
I like very much the interior. It is Classic and elegant.
This thing is so low why not buy a 3 series wagon? Thanks for the review Thomas!
Is there a reversing camera?
Good review
In march i go to BMW dealer to choose the New BMW 225 xe or the X1 e 😎
0:25 i know this location. "Fürholzen West" in Bavaria :D
I charged a few times there. :)
Sadly this BMW PHEV can't utilize the DC Fast chargers.
😁 yes indeed
Am so (still) in love with my 2019 X1 ❤️ always good work Thomas 🦸♂️ cheers
Better than I would think for an entry level BMW.
Whats up with the CD radio?
Hi! Why is the gear lever in this car not a new impulse type? I saw an 18d XLine xDrive in the dealership and the lever is of a new type
Due to the 3cyl engines
Do they have blind-spot warning something later than idrive 6, and OTA software updates yet?
No BSM for X1
Nice car! Senior citizens will love it!
Around 6:30, Thomas makes it sound like all the petrol engines were 4 cylinders, and there are also 3 cylinder diesel engines available, while it's the other way round: the diesels are 4-pots and the 18i and the 25e petrol engines are 3 cylinder engines.
Both indeed. There are 3cyl petrol and diesel
SDrive 16d 3cyl Diesel, not available everywhere though
@@autogefuehl Oh right, I only checked the german price list. In any case, it wouldn't have hurt to mention more prominently that this PHEV is a 3-cylinder, maybe I missed it, but I don't think it was mentioned explicitly. Not that it's a bad engine...
Yeah indeed
They just took all the interior from the old 1 series hatch and sell it now for 50k in a SUV as facelift
Exactly my thoughts. F series came back from the dead. Disgrace
X1 (F48) has these interiors since 2015... so no news here!
It's a good interior though. Nothing to complain about, well built and looks good. If it ain't broken, don't fix it...
always people find a way to complain sigh....the interior is just fine. Dont want any merc or tesla style huge iPads
It makes sense: if you have a short commute you can drive most of your km purely electric and if you go on holiday or do longer distances, you don't need to load the mandatory 478 or so apps for using the fastcharging network in Europe. But, if you can't charge your car during holiday, then ofcourse you don't have a fast car, but a small petrol engine only for a relatively heavy car. But it is a good compromise. I am only interested in an EV when finally you can pay with creditcard, EC card and some standard pay apps like apple pay or paypal like in any other ordinary shop, cafe or tankstation, so until that time a hybrid could be the best solution. By the way, your tests are perfect for me, since I am also 1.86 meters ;)
😎
Great review, is a 5series LCI Facelift comming as well?
Yes !!
@@autogefuehl Faster faster faster 😂 I need to be sure if I Take the 5series or the A6....facelift looks so promising
Hi Thomas. Great review! I my case I drive 40km both ways to work. I could potentially drive EV one way but gasoline the other way. When I calculate price for both EV and gas it will be more expensive than my Peugeot 5008 blue HDi 1,5l. Here I use around 4,0l/100km. Also, I have adblue and I do not have to plug in the car at night. My point or question is - could you perhaps make a video where you compare the different technologies and consider environment, cost, userability etc? To me 4,5l/100km is not that much considering that this is new tech... Kr Thomas from Denmark
Tak for det!
If you allow me, every new technology is expensive and someone has to pay for that cost. I don't have a diesel but I drove a Passat over 50000km and I can compare the power and the efficiency of a diesel with my 1.5 TSI which of course is a gasoline engine. This is my opinion too: a good diesel especialy that Bosch is working on geting more efficiency in neutralizing the noxes is a smarter solution till the electricity (vehicle price, autonomy and charging speed) will be more convenient for a larger number of people. So enjoy driving your 5008 which is a beautiful car, by the way!
Iulian LAZAR thank you for your kind reply! 👍
Thomas says: "They want your money". Yes. As per normal, options options options, everything options! But no Blind Spot Warning (BLIS). Or 360 cameras or 3-zone. Dumpy styling of X1; prefer Tiguan SWB or XC40. Great driving part and commentary, many thanks Thomas and Team. Best wishes.
Best wishes!
You'll be surprized to find that even Tiguan has features that are missing from a regular trim and normally they should be included. However, the truth is that you can buy a good accesorized Tiguan with much more less money that you would pay for a BMW X1. In fact, here you pay the tag/brand, but not the high quality.
Indeed the Tiguan is better price performance
Iulian LAZAR - Agree, and I like the short Tiguan, a nice high-spec one with LED lights, the light coloured interior and you get nice trim in the cabin. And every bit of equipment is available if you want, a lot of it standard on an SEL, say. A top-spec, every extra, is quite pricey compared to a Qashqai or a Tucson/Sportage, but it's a nicely styled car with a good ride and an airy roomy cabin, and is a lot better value than an X3 or GLC, and less pretentious.
@@sgtc4538 As I've said in one of my previous comments buying a BMW you are paying the tag/brand. X3 is already the next level, lenght speaking, something similar to Tiguan Allspace. Tiguan might be a little bit pricy but there are so many trims and options that you can chose. Some of them are not absolutely necessary (please check on Carwow and see some features even Mat Wattson considers not necessary: black piano, fake exhausts etc). For instance I have bought my Tiguan in December 2019 chosing the first trim which in our country is Trendline even lower than Comfortline, the engine is the 1.5 TSI 130HP or 96KWh because the difference between 1.5 TSI 150HP or 110KWh is almost 2000euros and let's be honest, for a daily use in a non busy town and some trips during the weekend I don't need 40Nm more as torque (250Nm 1.5tsi 150hp vs. 210Nm 1.5tsi 130hp) and 1.5 seconds faster from 0 to 100kmh or 0 to 60mph. I've chosen not to buy keyless entry, or keyless start or automatic trunk door as let's be honest not all doors are automated, I've chosen not to buy the DSG but the manual gearbox as it's more reliable and cost efficient though, no digital display but the upper infotainment and no navigation. Why? Once I connect my smartphone I have Waze and Google Maps. No hud because the lady from Waze will let me know when I have to turn left or right. LED front lights I let them asside as I do like the retro style of a halogen light, of course I've changed the bulbs with a more performant Philips ones. Even those classic lights have light assistant which works fine. I've chosen the comfort seats but the setting is manual because I wanted the front passenger sit to be fliped down and the
electric does not allow that. You get the idea. In fact buying a car should be something smart not silly, by simply asking: do I need to pay more for that option? Is that really necesary for me or it's just a status symbol? This is why I've chosen my Tiguan configured the way I wanted to be without spending a fortune. Tucson is a nice car but is not my style, Sportage is even a nicer car than Tucson especially that shares the same platform but the trunk is smaller, Qashqai is also a very nice car but the trunk is also small and the space for the passengers is not so big either. Mazda is not my style. Toyota is a Manga sytle car, very reliable but an outdated infotainment. Peugeot 3008 is a very nice looking car and has some features even smarter than Tiguan, but my fat German lady as I use to nick name my Tiguan makes me feel confortable while driving.
Any chance we getting a review of the BMW 330e Touring ?
Waiting for that as well.
Sure
So, how do you get all 220hp and all wheel drive? Sport mode plus battery saver? Can you get awd if the plug in battery is depleted?
Sport mode yes and also by heavy acceleration
Usually these cars have a rest buffer so awd is always ensured
@@autogefuehl OK, so as long as I'm not in full electric mode, it will be all wheel drive, yes? I'm getting my 25e delivered in two months (company car) so I want to learn as much about it as possible.
Assuming it should have no trouble doing some mild off-road? I know it's not a Land Cruiser but it should have no trouble in light snow or on a dirt road hopefully.
Thank you for this wonderful video and for taking the time to answer. 🙏😊
@@autogefuehl usually. But in this case? I can't seem to find an answer anywhere online. If a depleted hv battery means the electric motor shuts off with no power to the rear wheels, then you're left with a 3 cylinder engine pulling a 2300kg payload. I'm sure that's a strained driving experience not to mention inefficient on petrol.
There must be a way to ensure awd even if the hv battery is low.
I know, just make sure the battery is always charged, but that doesn't work on long trips or remote areas.
Thanks again for your time.
I would like to see a cheaper hybrid of whatever the model, let´s say 114e..
ich hab das Gefühl deine Videos werden immer besser.
danke dir ! =)
Excellent review ... What's the best German small SUV ?
VW Tiguan
A good accesorized VW Tiguan. Not very attractive, but all buttons are in the right place to be and even if some features are still as options, definetelly you will pay less.
What I find a pity is that X1 18d is 150 hp and hybrid is 125hp+hybrid power, but if you run out of battery it becomes a bit... disappointing. Test drive it. I recommend bmw would consider 150hp+hybrid then they would win for sure. Nevertheless the feeling and drive quality of an X1 is amazing!! I had one and adored it absolutely. I even liked it better then the 3 series which I had. The feeling of driving it was amazing, nice view, driving was so enjoyable every time, interior is a bit more basic, but ok it is an X1, not an X5.
It’s such a shame that these look more MPV than SUV. I think the X Line looks slightly better but not SUV enough. What a shame. Great review as usual. Thanks.
Cheers!
Plug in Cars... Bmw X1 or Volvo Xc40 or Peugeot 3008?
Thomas would you prefer a phev or a pure electric?
Good question. Depends on use case. E.g. atm I am driving max 50 km on usual days and like twice a month long haul 500 km plus. That would be a PHEV use case. Technology wise i do prefer pure EV though.
I am in love with bmw g20 phev that you have presented in the past. And I am thinking if I am to cheat on my love for a bmw 3 series pure electric. The main reason that I am bored of the too many mechanical issues. You fix water pump, then a gear makes noise, then you have some oil leaking then you have head gasket then you need an engine rebuild or replace. Too many of those mechanical issues will be no more with electric vehicles but it would be also interesting to find a 10 years old electric or phev to check out the condition after all those years of driving
@@user-fn2uo5cw4r are you talking in general or the G20 failed on you so much?
@@MrStereoify I am talking in general
can you drive the new bmw 5 series
Yes! Did that today. Still under embargo
So, if it takes 6 years for a new generation. would that mean the X1 will get Gen 3 in 2021 ??
@@angryroger4549 Very curious to see what they will make of it :) Might be in the market for a follow-up of our 2018 model, it's been very good to us.
11:51 I misheard you for a second there
He said "colt", right? (seems a bit too small for a handgun)
@@njitram2000 If Thomas doesn't use his Colt for a while it becomes Thomas blue
Yes, a Colt for some discussions. Better not.
@@NotCommanderShepard And when he pulls it out of his glove box, you never know if it'll come from the left or the right.
Which is better, Stormbay or mineral grey?
Mineral grey looks nicer
Don't understand why everybody here is complaining about the "old" interior. This is not a new model. This is just the regular F48 LCI with a new hybrid engine. Nobody said it would be a complete new car.
Probably in 3 or 4 years?
Nice car😊
What surprised me is this new facelift is using a big gearshifter again ????
Our X1 is from 2018 and it was one of the first with the tiny typical BMW gearshifter, WHY are they building the current X1's with the old stick again ????
Depends on engine i guess
@@autogefuehl ours is a 18d Xdrive
XC40 or this, what would you choose?
XC40
XC40
they need to make the x1 M50i competition xdrive with cup2 tires
Not happening, horizontal engine orientation
Let’s assume bird 718 is just joking. Or 8 yrs old.
1:53 X1 F48 is also assembled at dutch Nedcar🤓
true, since 2017 there are 2 assemble factories, although the german one produces most.
More successful than the X3 30e I think. It also has better interior materials.
Good review. Surprised that BMW left the interior so unchanged when other models look so modern. Takes away from the vehicle.
Hi!
This one or the MB Gla 250e? ;)
I have the exact same question hahaha.
The interior is almost identical to the active tourer 2014, I’m quite disappoited…
The entire vehicle is a disappointment.
@@JAM_2024 From the front still looks fine, but when we start walking around and opening different features/spaces you're right it's a disapointment and a big one.
Yeah, really boring interior, I don't like when it is all digital buttons, but BWM has to delete some of their buttons.. Like 1-8 buttons, is that really necessary 2020? And CD player input is covered by a little bit of plastic.. sad to see.
@@YieldOnCost 1-8 buttons are programmable shortcuts not only to radio station, and when you put your finger close to the button you can read on the display the associated shortcut!
@@Sauternes1965 So many people don´t know this nice feature every BMW has. My old E92 from 2011 has it and i think the funcionality is way older. So useful!
Next time hide behind the side of the car when you “enter the screen”. Then just pop up from the back through the windows! 😂
😂
or from the trunk :-)
How would that work? Behind the side and from the back, through the windows? 🤷🏻♂️
You just described the OP
The Sat Nav looks very laggy for such an expensive car.
Ours is from 2018 and it only lags tiny bit the first few seconds if operate it with your fingers, it doesn't lag at all if you operate it with the controller.
Nice but feels like it’s being left behind 😔
Gosh, It's gonna be a bit expensive after brexit here in UK.
Its ground clearance is not adequate for a suv in my opinion.
As others said, this is rather an MPV not a SUV.
Only one exhaust...considering the “e“ engine, I'd go with hidden exhaust this time (hidden, not fake)...
The regular combustion engines have dual exhausts.
What is BMW thinking with that shifter! It looks really cheap...right out of a Corolla or something. And they got everybody used to their electronic shifter anyway. Why!!?
X1 - 2021 same as the old one :(
you can buy a 330e for that price with less options .
Kleiner Vorschlag: komm doch mal von der Kamera-Seite 🕺🏽
😂🤘
22:04 Only a man with balls of steel do the slalom drive in front of a truck.
That interior in 2020!! Ffs, look at the damn dials, Pre historic era
Also disappointed, as many others here, especially due to the very small electrical only range and the lack of a faster charging possibility- for this price over 60kEur they should have fitted at least a 15 kwh battery with a range of 100km, the lack of an option to charge the battery from the ICE engine, when necessary, the lack of digital cluster, not even as an option, the lack of rear car alert in the mirrors, (BMW- take a look to the toyota rav4 prime and learn your lessons); good point though, is the rear electric axle. Once again BMW shows us is lagging far behind other auto manufacturers when it comes to electrification and not only :(
My mother has an X1 and I can’t tell the difference
what is your height?
1.86m. He use to say almost every episode.
ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE BMW BE MY WAFEY
Have you done an X3 PHEV yet? Don‘t see it.
Coming up later
Autogefühl Great! I already ordered mine, but only set for delivery in November.
¿New x1 2022?
Nice front....😁
Rakice ok
The 1980’s called. They want their Halogen headlights back.
5:20" ;-)
I drive a BMW X1 25 i but this car is not for me. Slow AC charging, only 50 km electric drive and only a 3 cylindre combustion engine.
