BMW X1
With the discontinuation of the 2 Series Gran Coupe, the task of attracting new buyers to BMW showrooms falls to the X1. The entry-level xDrive28i model delivers a respectable 241 horsepower, while the sporty M35i xDrive boasts 312 horsepower. The 2026 model year doesn't significantly alter the subcompact crossover’s package, but there are still some changes including new body colours and materials. Looking for a more dynamic appearance? Consider the X2.
