Tested: 2023 BMW X1 is practical, not experimental:
Under the hood is a good-old gas burner, a turbocharged 2.0-liter Miller-cycle four-cylinder with a few extra horses squeezed in. Changes to the combustion-chamber geometry and the new port- and direct-injection system bump the powerplant to 241 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. In our testing, the X1 at full thrust reached 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 14.1 seconds at 99 mph.
If you want it on high alert for grabbing gears, the Sport mode shifts with more vigor, and the M Sport package provides paddle shifters that put the decision making in the driver's hands.Related StoriesWe found the powertrain to be quiet and smooth in traffic and highway cruising but a bit sluggish when asked to make high-speed passes or accelerate uphill, despite the X1’s reasonably zippy 4.3-second 50-to-70-mph passing time.
