BMW X1
Entirely updated this year, the BMW X1 uses the good thing in the form of the platform of the small package known as the new MINI Clubman. The 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder produces 228 horsepower and the transmission is an 8-speed automatic. Like the Clubman, the all-wheel drive favours the front wheels. Although it's larger than the first X1, it remains surprisingly sporty, proving that BMW’s DNA did not get lost in the shuffle.
