BMW X1 Car Lease Deals

There's a choice of four trim levels: Sport, xLine and M Sport. All are generously equipped and, as usual with BMW, there are lots of optional packs to add more desirable features.

As with other models within the BMW range, those looking for just the right X1 to suit their work and life balance, won't have too many problems, thanks to the expansive selection of diesel and petrol engines, manual and automatic gearboxes, along with two- and four-wheel drive choices.

Although the BMW X1 is a practical family car at heart, it’s also good fun to drive with lots of grip through the bends and remarkably little body lean. After only a few miles behind the wheel, it will become clear that this is the most driver-centric model in the compact premium SUV class. It feels more like a conventional car than an SUV because you sit lower, but this means it also feels sportier.

BMW X1 Engine Options

The X1 has three different engine options

Petrol

The BMW X1 offers a selection of petrol and diesel engines to cater to different driving needs. The petrol option includes the sDrive20i, featuring a 1.5L three-cylinder engine with 170 hp, and the xDrive23i, a 2.0L four-cylinder producing 218 hp, both delivering a balance of performance and efficiency.

Diesel

The sDrive18d comes with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine generating 150 hp, while the xDrive23d offers a more powerful 211 hp and higher torque for enhanced performance. Diesel options provide superior fuel efficiency, reaching up to 57.6 mpg, making them ideal for long-distance driving.

Hybrid

The X1 is offered in two plug-in hybrid options, the xDrive25e and xDrive30e both have a mix of petrol performance and EV efficiency.

Performance wise, the xDrive25e puts out 245 hp, getting from 0-62 mph in 6.8 seconds, while the more powerful xDrive30e delivers 326 hp and reduces to 5.7 seconds. Both can drive up to 56 miles on their electric power alone, making them perfect for daily school runs or commutes without using fuel. The hybrid will give you a greener drive without compromising performance.

Which BMW X1 Trim Should I Choose?

BMW offers three trim levels on the X1, all with a mix of luxury, sportiness, and comfort. The one you go for really comes down to how you want your car to look and feel. The M Sport is the sportiest of the bunch, with a more aggressive design, bigger alloys, sport suspension and blue interior accents for a performance-inspired vibe. The Sport and xLine trims have a subtler, refined look with a softer suspension, but still keep that premium, high-quality interior.

Here’s a breakdown of what each X1 trim offers:

What BMW X1 lease deal should I choose?

Where do you start when it comes to finding a BMW X1 lease deal to suit you? Let’s take a closer look at your options:

BMW X1 family leasing

The BMW X1 is a compact SUV that would be a great choice for families. With 476-540 litres of boot space, the X1 can fit up to 3 suitcases, perfect for holidays and long journeys. The X1 comes with loads of interior space too, with large door bins for drinks and snacks.

In the back, you can slide the rear bench for more legroom or space in the boot — whichever works best! There’s great knee and headroom so everyone can get comfy, along with reclination for relaxation on the go. The BMW X1 has a 5-star NCAP rating and 3 ISOFIX points for securing car seats.

BMW X1 hybrid leasing

The BMW X1 comes with both mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid engines depending on your preference. The mild hybrid option features a motor that assists the fuel-powered engine to improve fuel economy — so you can essentially travel further using less fuel. This could be a good option for drivers who don't have access to charging infrastructure but like the idea of combining electric and fuel-powered driving.

The BMW X1 comes with a plug-in hybrid option, meaning you can drive in all-electric mode before the engine kicks in. The XDrive 30e model comes with a 1.5-litre hybrid engine, with the ability to travel 56 miles purely on electric power — perfect for short journeys and commutes.
