The four-cylinder petrol engines in the BMW X1 are characterised by impressive dynamics and excellent fuel efficiency. All standard petrol engines fulfil the EU6 emission norms.

The four-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW X1 sDrive18i produces 110 kW (150 hp) from its two-litre powerplant, offering higher performance with lower fuel consumption. Thanks to camshaft control and double-Vanos, it also develops outstanding speed off the mark, even in a low rev range. This quality is borne out by impressive figures: from a standing start, this BMW X1 variant accelerates to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds, reaching an eventual top speed of 202 km/h.

The stats for the BMW TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder petrol engines in the BMW X1 sDrive20i and BMW xDrive20i are even more impressive: with 135 kW (184 hp) and fuel consumption of just 7.1 to 6.9 and 7.7 to 7.5 litres per 100 km respectively, the vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a sporty 7.4 and 7.8 seconds respectively.

In the BMW X1 xDrive28i, fuel consumption is reduced by the fully variable valve control Valvetronic and the High Precision Injection, while the TwinScroll Turbo and the double-Vanos boost performance and response. Facts and emotions merge into one: a powerful 180 kW (245 hp) allow the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds, with fuel consumption a mere 7.8 to 7.7 litres per 100 km.

Sustainable driving pleasure: the BMW standard engines in the sDrive18i, sDrive20i, xDrive20i and the xDrive28i already fulfil the EU6 norms that only come into place in 2014. All other petrol engines in the BMW X1 fulfil the EU5 norms.
