BMW updates the X1

Is it that time already? It doesn’t seem too long ago that was first unveiling its smallest – and incongruously rear-wheel drive – SUV, but it’s just been revised. The top and bottom ends of the range have been made more appealing – cleaner at the one end and quicker at t’other. The sDrive20d EfficientDynamics boasts 62.8mpg and 119g/km, while a new xDrive25d develops 215bhp and can hit 62mph in just 6.8 seconds.The 25d replaces the old 23d. It’s powered by a four-cylinder 2.0-litre diesel engine, and despite its pace can still manage 51.4mpg and 145g/km.
