Can big things really come in small packages?
Well, if the arrival of the 2016 BMW X1 is any indication, the answer is an emphatic "yes." Much greater than its pint-sized proportions might suggest, the appeal of this subcompact SUV is immense.
And, with that, we invite you to check the clip below. Ride out with Kelley Blue Book Managing Video Editor Micah Muzio, as he takes the X1 for a test run:
Beneath this utility hauler's hood, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine holds court with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Making a muscular 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, the SUV additionally receives the xDrive all-wheel-drive system as standard.
And its EPA-estimated fuel economy sure is nothing to sneeze at, either. Rated at a respectable 26 mpg combined (22 city/32 highway), you're sure to make the most out of every mile at the helm of this frugal family vehicle.
So, what's the hold-up, faithful friend? The time is now to experience the brilliance of this beaut. As such, we invite you to pop by our Kingsport, TN facility, whereupon we'll happily arrange a test drive in the X1, or any other BMW model that's ensnared your attention.
