Compare the 2026 BMW X1 Specs
The new BMW X1 features powerful performance, something backed up by its standard BMW xDrive AWD as well as the availability of the 312-horsepower X1 M35i model. Not only is this the most powerful variant of the X1 -- it also is one of the only performance-oriented models here that offers more than sporty looks alone.
While models like the Lexus UX and Cadillac XT4 offer variants that look fast, they don’t increase horsepower or performance beyond what’s already found in their respective base models. In this segment, nothing comes close to the sheer athleticism that’s inherent to every new X1 for sale in Tennessee.

Compare the 2026 BMW X1 Interior Features

The BMW Operating System 9 found in the X1 promises a seamless and intuitive control over the multimedia experience, while its BMW Curved Display outclasses what you'll find in a new Mercedes-Benz GLA or Lexus UX.
