All Eyes on the X1

The first thing anyone’s going to see of the X1 is its exterior. BMW made sure that both you and pretty much anyone else you drive-by would have a hard time looking at anything else. From the front, the X1 The X1 is as intimidating in the 2021 model as it was in the past several years. BMW didn’t smooth out any of the raw ferocity in the grille design, much to the pleasure of buyers. The vehicle still flows smoothly toward the back and is ultimately enhanced at the rear with dual chrome exhaust tips.

From the top, the Satin Aluminum roof rails, combined with the shark fin antenna, give the X1 a bit of a tone-down, fashion-forward punk-rock look. Since this is a BMW vehicle, the highly-recognizable blue and white symbol completes the look on the front and rear, ensuring everyone knows exactly what you’re driving from both angles.

A Step Up in Interior Design
