2019 BMW X1 at BMW of Akron

Thanks to its bold, dynamic design, the BMW X1 is pure enjoyment to drive. It boasts near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution and advanced systems including the Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control, enabling the vehicle to handle any roadway with ease. The vehicle features BMW's legendary all-wheel-drive system, giving the wheel the most possible traction at every turn and during every season. The seating position of the X1 is also high, giving the driver a much more commanding view of the road.

A 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder provides the X1 with all the power it needs on the open roadway. Considered the fastest in its class, the X1 revs cleanly, with its eight-speed automatic allowing for quick and easy maneuvering when behind the wheel. While practical in many ways, the X1 is great to handle, a joy to drive and can stand on its own on any road with agile handling and confident traction. The vehicle's 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission allows you to shift with smooth precision at all times, achieving the speed you desire on your next adventure. With optional all-wheel-drive, it is rated at 22 mpg in the city, 31 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg combined.

This car comes with a "sport" button which results in better throttle response and more weight to the steering's action. The sport setting on the gear shifter, which changes the transmission's programming, allows the vehicle to hold gears longer and downshift earlier. Even without this feature, the X1 handles great! Whether you are making lots of turns or just cruising the open road, the X1 offers perfect composure at all times.

The BMW X1 provides all the storage space needed in a perfect balance of versatility and utility. The vehicle features 40/20/40 split-folding seats and up to 58.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity. There is also comfort at every angle, with spacious headroom and available sliding and reclining rear seats, allowing your passengers to make themselves right at home. Drivers are also ultra comfortable with standard Power Front seats or with the addition of Sport Seats for that extra lift. All of the seating is available in standard SensaTec or a range of luxurious Dakota leathers, for a feel you have come to expect from BMW.

The all-new X1 is complete with a plethora of offerings that speak to your total convenience. Thanks to Advanced Vehicle and Key Memory, most recently used climate-control temperatures and air-distribution settings are in place; as are exterior mirror and power seat settings, audio tone settings and radio presets. Both central locking and lighting preferences are also kept to your liking and remain in place. Other convenient touches include a tilt/telescopic steering wheel column, rain sensing windshield wipers with adjustable speed and automatic headlight control. A front seat adjustable center armrest and power tailgate are among other convenient touches.

The BMW X1 is chock full of safety features, giving you confidence and security each time you get behind the wheel. Such features include a Front and rear Head Protection System; driver's and passenger's front airbag supplemental restraint system with advanced technology, knee airbags and front-seat-mounted side-impact airbags. Safety and security doesn't stop there. There are automatic locking retractors (ALR) on all passenger seat safety belts, Coded Drive-away Protection; an Impact Sensor that disengages the fuel pump, automatically unlocks doors and turns on hazarding interior lights. An anti-theft alarm system is also part of your X1 as well as BMW's Assist eCall and BMW Remote Services like Stolen Vehicle Recovery, Remote Door Lock/Unlock and BMW Connected App.

The BMW X1 meets all the needs of a family, nicely laid out with plenty of cargo space and filled with premium materials. The vehicle also sports loads of space and lots of small cubbies perfect for all your family's belongings. Not only is it a good family vehicle for all of these reasons, but it looks, drives and feels like a BMW. It is all you would expect from this top brand  and more.
