Changes would affect cabin space dimensions, so that the new X1 offers practicality largest cabin space in its class.

Swivel wheel with a very light weight indeed support ease, but it feels too light so that feedback sometimes less precise and speed-sensitive Servotronic system on the steering feels too take over. However, such systems are presented for parking maneuvers and displacement on a better path with steering that is agile, even when the speed is high.


The use of front-wheel drive also supports weight reduction and agility in maneuvering in the street. The new BMW X1 feels agile and nimble, something that is sought after by consumers when buying a compact SUV or crossover. Overall control is fairly pleasant, but not the best in its class. It could be argued that offered more balanced handling without sponsor certain aspects.

 
The new BMW X1 is also equipped with special chassis, using single-joint strut suspension in front and multi-link axle at the rear. Bantingannya feels comfortable and without compromise, both when passing the road less friendly and when invited to run fast and turn at medium speed.


Overall, the latest BMW X1 offers a driving and control that will satisfy consumers when looking for a compact SUV for urban driving, especially with the provision of a more spacious cabin space will be a positive point for the Indonesian people who prefer the interior with more space. However, a new character offered by the BMW X1 is not what you expect when oriented to the older generation of BMW, or crave the aggressive character of the BMW before.
