BMW X1
sDrive 18i petrol FWD automatic
The BMW X1 sDrive18i tested here is a small SUV with 1.5 l turbocharged petrol engine that is not supported by any type of hybrid system. It provides 100 kW peak power, which is the lowest among all currently offered X1 versions. Like most other fossil fuelled petrol cars, it scores least in the greenhouse gas index due to the CO2 emissions measured at the tailpipe. Its efficiency is as expected for a vehicle of this type and powertrain and yet it manages to deliver good fuel consumption values in real-world driving – about 5.7 l/100 km in the standard On-Road Drive. The strongest discipline of the X1 is exhaust aftertreatment. In the Clean Air Index, the BMW demonstrated high and robust performance and earned a very well deserved 7.7 points out of 10. Overall the BMW X1 reaches an average score of 45% and collects 2½ Green Stars.
