What makes the 10Best winningBMW X1 so good? It’s quick, nimble, spacious, well built, and undeniably upscale. The darling turbocharged inline-four-cylinder engine revs eagerly, and the X1’s ride is comfortable without sacrificing inspired handling. Hauling bulky cargo? The X1 succeeds there, too, making it a true dual-purpose vehicle for driving enthusiasts with an active lifestyle. Exterior styling could stand to be more expressive, but no one will mistake the X1 for anything but a BMW, and that alone may be attractive to potential buyers. It’s the whole package, and in this highly competitive segment, an easy favorite.
