0 -> Hey Guys,
0.753 -> Welcome to Motoroctane,
1.529 -> How are you all?
2.703 -> Guys, we bring a lot of content for you,
5 -> But there is a luxury SUV for which you all were waiting.
10.118 -> Guys, we are talking about none other than,
12.557 -> The BMW X1.
14.65 -> We are bringing the detailed video that you all have been asking for,
18.637 -> And if you want to purchase this car then check this video in detail.
21.353 -> Without wasting further time,
22.383 -> Let’s go!
23 -> [Music]
58.627 -> So the BMW X1 competes directly with the Mercedes GLA,
62.106 -> And the Audi Q3.
63.92 -> It gets options for both petrol and diesel engines,
66.105 -> But let’s talk about the design first.
67.804 -> Starting with the grille then we already know the BMW grilles are getting larger.
71.906 -> Especially in the X7 or the 7 series, the grille has got a lot bigger.
75.915 -> And the inspiration can be seen in the X1 as well.
79.74 -> The grille is bigger than before in the same kidney bean design pattern,
86.661 -> But as I said the grille is now bigger.
88.222 -> However, the headlamps are sharper than before and get LEDs inside.
93.556 -> There are no lights on the bumpers which means there are no fog lamps on this car.
99.48 -> And a good amount of chrome has been used on the front grille.
103.582 -> From the side, it looks like a typical BMW.
106.691 -> We can clearly see the silhouette of the previous X1 and doesn’t look like a completely different design.
114.374 -> So it’s more of a continuation of an evolution rather than a revolution.
118.871 -> The car gets 18-inch alloy wheels and the design of the alloy wheels looks like the BMW sedans,
125.231 -> But not too different.
126.838 -> What’s surprising is that although the power has gone down,
130.139 -> The car continues to get M badging for M Sport,
134.726 -> And I feel they shouldn’t have done it.
136.96 -> Door handles get different styling and BMW seems to do something different with these door handles,
142.379 -> And they remind me of the old school door handles.
146.712 -> You guys tell me if this is cool looking or if this is a cost cut.
150.485 -> It gets roof rails and a shark fin antenna.
155.172 -> Also, the roof isn’t completely black instead it’s all panoramic sunroof.
162.208 -> Ground clearance of the car is around 170-175 mm and it shouldn’t be more than that if I talk about unladen ground clearance.
169.544 -> At the rear, it has a lot of BMW styling.
174.778 -> The rear looks like X1 on steroids when compared to the previous generation model.
182.276 -> When you look at the tail lamps you will notice that it comes with a lot of cuts and creases,
188.203 -> And even the bumpers get very aggressive elements on them,
192.236 -> And even you have a new type of spoiler.
195.576 -> Talking about the boot space then firstly it gets an electric tailgate,
199.471 -> And the space inside is pretty good.
203.68 -> You get a 12V charging socket inside the boot along with a lamp,
209.52 -> And underneath you get a spare wheel which is more like a doughnut tyre.
216.671 -> So you can use it at a speed limit of 80kmph and not more than that,
222.39 -> And it is a 17-inch spare wheel.
227.416 -> Talking about the interiors then they look very different and very nice compared to the previous gen model.
234.129 -> It had no features but now it comes loaded with a lot of technology.
238.993 -> It gets a big size touchscreen which gets connected to the instrument cluster,
244.135 -> And the interiors look very modern.
246.735 -> You get black and brown colour soft-touch materials with a lot more other things.
253.655 -> For me, the most catchy element is the space has been now freed.
259.052 -> Before there used to be a tunnel but now instead you get underneath storage making it nice and practical.
268.259 -> In terms of features, the list is pretty long.
271.067 -> You get massage seats and BMW has raised the bar to the next level by providing this feature for the first time in the category.
280.575 -> You get an electronic parking brake with auto hold,
283.314 -> And if you look at the touchscreen system you get connected car technology,
287.67 -> Wireless android auto and apple car play,
289.855 -> And Harman Kardon speakers,
292.016 -> So you get a lot of tech that this car comes loaded with.
296.327 -> Overall the car is no less in technology and it’s a very feature-rich car.
301.168 -> When you see the entire unit of the centre console then I liked the overall touches it gets.
306.68 -> Even the seats are pretty wide and doesn’t matter if you are thin or on the wider side,
312.145 -> You can sit on them comfortably for an entire day without any kind of problem.
316.339 -> Also, you can adjust the seat height but the seat height isn’t a lot.
322.916 -> You will feel like sitting in a sedan or a crossover and won’t feel like sitting a lot higher.
329.764 -> Even the co-driver seat is electrically adjustable and both the front seats get extendable thigh support,
338.555 -> And it is fantastic.
340.16 -> You get a massive panoramic sunroof that makes the cabin feel spacious and airy too.
346.356 -> Now, just for your reference, I am 6 feet tall and I am adjusting the seat according to my driving position,
352.445 -> And let’s check the rear seats.
354.838 -> Alright, so once you come to the rear seats then you have a good amount of space than before.
360.64 -> There is a good amount of knee room and even the headroom is pretty good.
363.28 -> Two people can sit comfortably and even a third can sit as the centre tunnel is pretty small,
369.32 -> And will not create a problem for the centre passenger.
373.36 -> Also, the seat recline angle is good which makes it comfortable and convenient.
376.96 -> So if you want to go on a long trip then you will enjoy the back seat.
379.8 -> There is enough thigh support which makes the drive very comfortable.
384.6 -> Also, there is a centre armrest which will add to comfort if two people are sitting at the back,
387.94 -> And even the armrest on the door pad is also pretty good and solid.
392.551 -> So you can sit very comfortably.
394.528 -> I think this is the best luxury SUV for second-row seat comfort.
400 -> The space and comfort on offer is fantastic.
403.34 -> For rear passengers, the sunroof is extended to the back,
406.449 -> Gets rear AC vents,
408.317 -> Two charging ports and by the way a wireless charger at the front,
412.52 -> And majorly you get type-c charging ports in the car.
416.761 -> So you have a lot of storage space and comfort in the car and nothing is missing.
420.725 -> But BMW is always known for its drive.
424.527 -> So what are we waiting for?
425.326 -> Let’s go and drive the X1 right away.
428.073 -> Finally, it’s time to drive the car.
429.68 -> Turning on the engine,
431.311 -> Shifting to drive mode,
433.126 -> And here we go.
435.426 -> So BMW is always known for its performance and the X1 has been one of my favourites.
441.215 -> The X1 is very similar or equivalent to the 320 D,
447.812 -> And 320 D is something I really love.
449.812 -> But due to its low ground clearance, I have always preferred the X1.
452.805 -> And this new 20 D on the X1 is just fantastic.
458.293 -> Talking about its outright performance then it does 0-100 in under 10 seconds for both petrol and diesel.
465.208 -> The diesel is slightly better at around 8 seconds than the petrol which is around 9 seconds.
470.465 -> But that’s not what I am trying to say here.
472.673 -> The overall thrust is somewhere missing.
476.267 -> The insulation is better, the power has gone down,
480.116 -> But the pick-up is pretty good.
481.4 -> It accelerates quickly and has a good punch in the car.
485.941 -> But it misses on the real driving fun the X1 had.
489.76 -> The first gen X1 was fun to drive and was stiffer which did not impress many.
495 -> But the second-gen X1 was like a perfect car.
497.601 -> It got heavier steering with perfect feedback and had a thrust to push you back into the seat.
502.696 -> It is less on this Gen X1 but it's still a good car to drive.
505.343 -> Overall there is nothing to complain about unless you are a BMW loyal who loves to push the car as the thrust is missing.
514.62 -> But still, if I compare the three Germans in this category,
519.277 -> It is the X1 to deliver the best driving pleasure.
524.884 -> There are no two ways about it.
525.984 -> It is softer than before and I love the feel of the steering.
529.786 -> The steering feel is completely incomparable to any other car in this category.
535.552 -> Even the steering has got lighter than before which makes it nice and comfortable to drive.
541.8 -> It definitely feels softer than before,
544.147 -> And if you have not owned a BMW before and going looking for a sporty performance car,
550.582 -> Then you will be more easily adapted to this.
553.92 -> But if you are a hardcore BMW fan then you will not buy the X1.
560.447 -> And you will generally prefer the 5 series or the 3 series.
565.393 -> But all I am trying to say is if this is your first BMW,
568.294 -> You will love the way this car drives.
571 -> The ride quality is also sorted.
572.076 -> We drove it over bad roads and didn’t feel much inside.
574.307 -> Like even now as I passed over the rumblers I didn’t realised much of it.
577.739 -> So the overall experience with the BMW is going to be fantastic.
582.534 -> And if you are the kind of person who does not enjoy sitting in the back but you rather love to drive a car yourself,
592.827 -> Then in that case the X1 is great perfect car for you.
596.791 -> What I would also highlight is that in the X1 you not only get good performance,
603.11 -> But you also get good fuel efficiency with the diesel engine.
605.595 -> It will return 12-13 kmpl inside the city and 16-18 kmpl on the highway.
611.722 -> The X1 is also equipped with ADAS and when we were trying to change the lane,
614.854 -> It was pulling the car back into the lane and at the same time, it was displaying that on the instrument cluster as well.
619.16 -> However when we activated the front collision warning,
622.015 -> It showed no signs as it neither braked nor it made any warning noise.
625.84 -> So we are not confirmed that how it works but there’s that feature for sure.
630.68 -> The next time when we drive it in detail that is when we will be able to explore it a lot better.
636.132 -> Overall the bonnet edges are not visible but it is a very comfortable car to be in,
640.858 -> And you will enjoy driving it.
643.574 -> So guys this was our todays review of the BMW X1.
646.383 -> The BMW X1 has been our favourite compact luxury SUV.
653.762 -> The previous car had a couple of downsides.
655.416 -> Firstly the space was less for the rear passengers,
658.525 -> And secondly, it missed out on some features.
660.802 -> But overall it always felt better to drive.
663.642 -> Talking about the new X1,
665.642 -> It is now equipped with a lot of features,
667.529 -> The rear seat space has now got better,
668.813 -> And that means you are a lot more comfortable than before.
671.345 -> Now although the overall comfort has increased,
673.299 -> But I feel they should have retained the performance and they should have not reduced it here.
678.28 -> Of course, there’s not much of a difference with the pickup,
680.28 -> But with the extra features, I would expect or appreciate it if BMW had taken the performance a level,
686.925 -> At least one level above rather than keeping it at the same level.
691.004 -> So this was all about the BMW X1 and I would say it is a fantastic package in both petrol and diesel variants.
701.48 -> And you get a perfect mixture of performance, features, and technology.
706.575 -> Now, with so many options available in the market,
710.215 -> We get confused as to which car to purchase.
713.025 -> There are such compact size and even full-size SUVs at this price point,
717.174 -> So which is the suitable car to buy?
718.504 -> Then in that case you can talk to me or my team of experts on a phone call,
721.936 -> And clarify all your doubts.
723.981 -> The salesmen or even friends will suggest cars according to their perspective.
731.64 -> So you can talk to my experts to know what’s the better car for you,
736.597 -> And avoid ending up with the wrong car.
