- During this test drive, I had the occasion to test the menu, different driving modes, the 360 camera and EV settings.
In general, this car is pretty impressive in its design and the robust build it has. The only negative side I could find is the lack of clarity in the menu.

Very good video and good presentation of the functionalities of the car! Helpful for people interested in getting the X1 :)
Thank you for watching it and your feedback!
That was the purpose of the video: help a maximum of people in discovering the car and deciding on buying it
Great video. Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching 😊
I will try to keep some others coming!
Finally a video of the new 25e - looking forward to get mine in may. How is the acceleration in electric only mode? Is it different than with the support of the petrol mode?
And how do you feel about the AI to change between the motors?
I am happy for you, you will not regret it for sure.
In full electric, yes it is different. The torque is immediately available as It’s an electric motor. But it is less powerful than with both motors.
The switching between both motors felt natural and pretty responsive, compared to other brands.
Excellent video, I ordered an identical car, the color is beautiful, especially in real life, I'm only bothered by its consumption for now, it says combined 1 l per 100 km, electric range 80 km with a full battery and finally, how satisfied are you with the complete car, looks great to me
Thank you for watching it 😊
Indeed, the color is really great in real life! It reminds me of the Pure Frozen Grey but in metallic!
I used to have the F48 X1 and compared to it, the overall feeling this car brings is far more superior. The finish of the interior is better, the car is somewhat dynamic and the exterior really makes it look like a mini X5!
For the consumption, if you play the game, meaning you recharge the car often, you could consume very little (in that case 1L/100km seems realistic). Especially if you have a relaxed driving style and you drive in the city mostly.
Great video, thank you! I currently drive a 335i, 306 Hp. I’m considering the 30e. Both have similar power, but I’m afraid about downgrading from a 6 cylinder to 3 cylinder (power, response, noise,..,) 😅. Do you think I will regret or should I go ahead?
I second that. I am also a bit worried about the culture of 3 cylinder engine compared to 4 which is really nice and quiet
Thanks for watching it and the feedback!
I am happy it helps people making a choice.
Indeed an X1 30e has similar perfs to a 335i. However there are 2 drawbacks I believe will make it hard to decide: the weight of the X1 and the noise of the 3 cylinders engine.
The extra torque and pure HP will maybe make it up for the added weight but this is not guaranteed.
I would really advise to test drive it first!
If you do, please let us know how it goes
@@issman thank you so much for providing your opinion!
Great video thanks. I have the previous version (2020 year) and i love it. Not as flashy but I can’t live without the physical buttons and the iDrive wheel controller.
Thanks for watching it! 😊
BMW is following the trend where buttons tend to disappear! As for the iDrive, I think having a touch screen is a good alternative. Although it makes it look messy quite quickly 😅
So my X1 25e has touch screen, voice input, and the classic iDrive wheel right by the gear selector. It’s easier than reaching for the screen when you’re driving.
And I know I will miss the physical buttons when it’s time to upgrade. 1 takes me home, 2 takes me to work, 3 is my favorite digital radio station, etc.
Voice control isn’t always accurate, and reaching for the screen takes your concentration off the road.
But, guess we’ll get uses to it. Enjoy the car, and hopefully it’s easy for you to use all the features. 😊
@@Y3MINEM aah the F48 I had did not have all this so I cannot compare.
But indeed, I guess we will all get used to the all touch screen systems at some point.
nice video! I own an X1 f48 x20d and I'm thinking to buy this new one (25e version, cause I guess the full electric will have some range limitations for the long trips I made 2-3 times per year). Do you think it will be good improvement?
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
I owned an F48 s16d with M pack.
I found this U11 way better in every aspect: build, performance, technology…
Thanks for posting the PHEV, is the transmission same with the gasoline? 7 SPEED Dual Clutch? Any turbo lag?
My pleasure ! Thanks for watching the video 😊
Yes, the transmission is the same 7-Speed dual clutch for all the models (petrol, diesel and hybrid).
As for the turbo lag, I could not notice any during my test. The electric motor taking the lead at low speed, you cannot really feel the turbo lagging.
Now on the highway, when overtaking, the lag could be more noticeable but I did not use the car in those conditions a lot.
What autonomy does this version declare in the WLTP cycle? 92Km?
Good video, thanks
Thank you!
I am glad you enjoyed the video.
The announced range/autonomy is between 78-89 km (depending on the configuration).
At around 17th minute we see the type 2 auto pilot. Is that the drive assist pro option or the less expensive drive assist plus you have ? Thanks 🙏
Hi Andrei,
This is the following option: 5AU Driving Assistant Pack Professional
You can see the rest of the options in the description of the video as well 🙂
@@issman thanks ! I hoped it was only the plus and not pro that’s expensive hehe thanks again !
@@anudureio I agree, it is not a cheap option.
But compared to Audi or Mercedes, you get quite a lot for your money with BMW
Nice video! Is it a quiet ride or will the engine make lots of noise during driving?
Thanks for watching!
It will depend on your driving style. If you are gentle on the gas, it can be really quiet
What are the size of the tires? I understood that the 17 and 18 inch wheels have thinger tires than 19 and 20 inch.
Merhaba Çaner,
Sorry for the delay my friend.
The size on this model are 19" and the reference is BMW 871 M.
By looking at the Continental Tire selector, here is the height of all the tires:
17": 65
18" : 55, 60
19" : 45
20" : 40
I hope this helps !
Nice, this seems like the first X1 PHEV out here on youtube! How would you compare the X1 25e in general with the 3-series you drove earlier? (not just ride comfort like someone asked in your previous comment). Does the X1 feel as good with build quality/materials/performance as the 3 series? Or can you still feel that a 3-series is "a step above" a X1 :)?
Thanks for watching the video!
The 3 series is way more dynamic of course because it is not an SUV.
In terms of build quality: both were in M Line and as far as I could feel, the build is slightly less enjoyable in the X1.
Now do not get me wrong: it is a high quality build, there is no annoying plastic noise or cracks.
However, the 3-series is a bit above.
In terms of performance, the X1 is quite dynamic for a hybrid (thus heavy) SUV.
I hope I have answered your questions 🙂
I would say the opposite as him. X1 has far better materials. New Sensafin feels Like nappa in x6.
@@marek6271 what do you think about the rest? The plastics, the central console, etc…
The X1 I tested had Sensatec and Alcantara seats.
While the 3-series was full leather.
I have a preference for the full leather seats 😅
@@issman i actually prefer alcantara seats to leather. But for sure leather > sensatec. Anyway to me x1 mpaket felt way better build quality and material quality (Dashboard, door panels, trims arround displays etc) than g20 pre-facelift. I would even say better than x5/6/7 without leather dash or full leather interior.
@@issman You did, thank u!
Thanks for the video !
Did you manage to fully empty the batteries during your test ? What is the best autonomy you manage to get ? Thanks a lot.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching it ☺
I did not manage to fully empty the battery during the test but the realistic range you can get is 50-70 km depending on your driving style.
@@issman that's not bad at all!
I can't find info about 30e and 25e - does trunk space differ between those two?? I feel like it should but I don't see such data
@@air21511 thanks a lot for your feedback!
Well, as per the technical data from BMW, the 25e, 30 and iX1 have all the same trunk volume: from 490 to 1495 liters
@@issman No, the iX1 has a smaller one due to the batteries
@@JohnPaul-cl1cr then it means there is a typo in BMW’s documentation.
This what I read in the catalogue
Hello ISSMAN, do you have a total list of the car specs as tested?
Hi,
Let me fetch it for you!
I will post it in the description and let you know once done ☺
Hi Jente,
I have modified the description with the total list of options. I did not list the standard equipment.
Is the pure frozen grey worth the price, it doesn't look that special here 🤔 would you choose it over the Portimao Blue or metallic black? both of which are a lot cheaper...
Hey Vincent,
Watch out, the one I have here is a Space Silver and not the Frozen Pure Grey.
The Frozen comes with too many constraints in terms of maintenance in my opinion.
I personally was hesitating between the Portimao Blue and the Space Silver, I finally chose the 2nd
Nice video! Quick question; is this ambient light you're testing standard or is it part of one of the options?
Thanks!
In my market (Belgium), the Ambient Lighting comes standard.
@@issman I'm from The Netherlands so i'm expecting the same :)
@@07BartR07 inderdaad.
Thanks for watching 🙂
@@issman It is not standard on the base model trim. The center console will be blacked out and there are no LED strips in the dash and door. If you choose one of the more expensive dashboard trims the LED strips are added (ambient lighting).
@@koenvanderveer9233 You are absolutely right!
The base model does not have any ambient lighting.
It is standard on the xLine and M Sport pack as those include the more expensive dashboard trims.

What is the real autonomy in electric mode? Tell me about ir, please.
Theoretically, it is ~90 km.
Depending on your driving style, it should be closer to the 50-70 km range.
Apologies if you have already answered earlier, i have 2 questiong regarding battery charge while driving.
In electric mode, is there battery regeneration through breaking/deceleration?
In maintaining the battery charge,is there a charge to the battery either by the engine or by regenerative breaking?
Thank you
No worries, I don't think I have answered those questions anyways lol
In electric mode, there is regeneration of the battery while braking. You can see it at 07:45
For the battery maintain mode, if I do remember well, it is only when you stop accelerating that the car brakes by itself and the engine does not do anything. But I am not 100% sure about this so it needs to be verified 🙂
@ISSMAN the Car Fan probably because is already shown in the video hehe
Many thanks!
@@av7321 my pleasure lol
Its a very nice video! Thank you! I have an 25e in order! May I ask: How do you drive it everyday? Do you switch between EV only and EV preservation mode? Or you have it automatic mode and you are soft on the accelerator? Is it something that you dont like in the car?
Hey Gregory! Thanks for the feedback about the video, it is much appreciated.
Congrats on your new car! I am sure you will not regret it.
The video I posted was actually a test drive. I haven't received mine yet (it is planned for 06/2024). But I was told by the dealer that leaving it to Auto should fit almost everyone.
When is yours coming ?
@@issman Thanks for the feedback! Most probably around April 24!
@Gregory637 I would love to get your feedback when you have it.
Hello What is top speed of 25e version? I have read many post with 190km/h(Petrol,Electric) is it true? Speedometer is with 260km/h of top speed then why 25e can’t go more then 190km/h? How much top speed you have drove in this Variant?if you know so please reply me
Hi,
Sorry for the delay. I have never gone full speed with it yet but this will be done on the German Autobahn as soon as possible 😄
The official max speed is indeed 190 km/h, though, I think it is electronically limited.
And also, it's been a while that the speedometer maximum speed is not really the maximum speed of the car.
I hope this helps.
can u enable the boost without the padels ?
As far as I know, no.
You need to hold both paddles in order to activate it
hello, good video, I just received a new BMW X1 25e a few weeks ago, the car is really very comfortable and drives very well, but I have a problem with range, driving only in electric mode, BMW told me that the range of the battery is in winter temperatures it reduces considerably, for me a fully charged battery now shows 51 km, of which I realistically drive 35 km around the city and then I have to charge it, so I would like to ask if you have experience with winter conditions and the very reach of the electric mode, thank you very much
Hello, thanks for watching and your feedback!
Congrats on the new BMW, I am sure you’ll love it.
I haven’t driven extensively the car during winter conditions but to me this does not look very shocking to be honest.
If temperatures are low, you put AC on and the road is not flat (like a hilly road) the range can drop drastically.
I believe you will be able to notice a positive difference during spring and summer.
Hello , would be interesting to see torque and power bars also when boost activated ...to compare ....on video we seen only max torque reaching 458 Nm ....theoritically must be 477 ...where you not at full throttle ? ...better also this quid of acceleration test to be done not in a such narrow street with walking people 👌
Torque maximizes between 1500 - 4000 rpm (if i remember correct). When you rev above 4000 rpm (which you will in sport full acceleration) the torque is less but the power is higher. Power peaks at 180kw (245pk) which means maximum output.
Thanks for the feedback!
Actually this was my first POV video ever so I agree this is not completely on point. There is no 0-100 part by the way, as I did for the other cars I tested.
I think (but to be confirmed) that the full torque is not available outside of boost mode. Hence you saw it topping at ~455 Nm. I am still waiting for mine to be delivered so I cannot fully confirm yet!
Is that space silver or frozen ? Space silver looks very different in configurator
Hey André,
This is the Space Silver indeed. Color code: C67
It is way different in real life as you can also see here: czcams.com/video/017uZmgRQJM/video.html
Does someone know of issues with the 1.5 petrol engine? As it is a 3 cylinder turbo engine, I am still having some second thoughts..
Personally not and to be honest, it is a pretty young engine so issues might not be well documented yet.
However, for this kind of engine some known issues are the VANOS (variable valve timing system on the intake and exhaust camshafts). The other most known issue is a refrigerant leak that can affect the turbo apparently.
thank you@@issman for the review and answer. I have already chosen the next car, it's due next week. It's not the X1 :D
@@miguelcoomans Congrats on the new acquisition! I am surprised by the short delivery time lol.
What did you go for finally?
@@issman I was comparing a used X1, a used 320e estate and a skoda octavia ultra iv. I opted for the skoda in the end, being it brand new and after test-driving both estates. I am really happy with the car in terms of build quality, noise cancellation and engine responsiveness.
Nice video. I have to wait for mine 5-6 months I hope that I made a good choice on 25e.
Thanks for watching!
I am convinced you will love it! Were you hesitating between the 25 and 30e or a completely other model?
About 25e or 30e. There is big difference in performance and consumption?
Currently driving Mercedes glc 250d coupe 2017
Performance wise, there is a big difference indeed between the 25e and 30e.
Consumption wise, on paper they are the same. I cannot say if this is valid IRL though.
Compared to your current car, the performance could be equivalent.
What you gain in HP, you lose it with the weight (~ 200 kg extra on the X1)
Hi! Nice video!
I would like to ask how did you find the power of the car. Is it “sufficient” for the extra battery weight? Moreover, how is the performance of the car when the battery is almost depleted and cannot contribute to the thermal engine?
Hi grigoriskaltsas5530,
Thanks for the comment. This is my first POV driving video. Happy to know it is not that bad 😄
Concerning the power: The petrol engine alone has 136 HP, in combination with the electric motor, we have 245 HP.
When both are working together, the performance is pretty decent. Although it is more impressive on the X1 30e.
EDIT based on the feedback received: The battery never dies. The petrol engine consumes more to keep the battery at a minimum level and keep the AWD functions active.
@@issman Thanks a lot for your reply!
I have the F48 model, which has the same petrol engine as the 25e, and I’m interested in moving to the 25e or 30e. The performance is my main concern, and if I understood well, your suggestion is 30e, right?
@@grigoriskaltsas5530 My pleasure!
This is correct, I would suggest the 30e for performance as it is way better.
But beware: if your battery is dead here, it is approximately the same result. You end up with a 150 HP engine...
@@issman Thanks a lot! Injoy your beautiful car!
@@issman Hello! Thanks for the video! 👍 I've read your answer about the performance. Can you tell us what is the autonomy in hybrid mode then?
Is it comfortable? Worth the money over a regular 3 series?
I find the 3-series a little bit more comfy to be honest. The 3-series I tested had no M interior though and leather seats.
The X1 I tested had the leather seats and they were still comfortable.
Nice pov video here..
What are the 2 best & 2 worst parts of the car ?
Thank you for watching it 😊
In my opinion, the 2 best parts are: 1) The overall finish of the interior. You can feel a difference compared to the previous generation. 2) The driving feeling of the car, it's dynamic for a hybrid SUV.
2 worst parts: 1) The infotainment menus are not user friendly, too many icons make it difficult to get simple things done. 2) Changing the driving mode (sport mode for example) is not as quick as on other cars.
@@issman thanks ! The 2 worst things, can they be replaced by voice commands ?
@@goodlifebdg For the few commands I have tested with voice, there were quite some misses by the system not understanding what I meant 😅
However, I have not tested changing the drive mode by voice.
Did you finally find out how the iconic sounds work?
Did you bring the iconic sound to work?
Finally not, unfortunately. Apparently, there was some defect as the BMW sales person told me.
@@issman Thank you for your quick answer! I got my brand new X1 xDrive 30e yesterday and it doesn’t work either. My BMW dealer has no idea why. But they promised me to find out what going on. I’ll see ;-)
@@RudolfGrimm-bv6by my pleasure!
Congrats for the new car!
It seems to be a widespread issue then.
Could you please let us know what was the root cause?
Thanks!
Is the steering nice and light?
To me, it was nice overall. Light of course because it is a new car.
But what I liked above all is the precision of the steering.
Hello What consomation /100km ?
Salut David,
J'étais aux alentours de ~6 L/100 km avec une batterie chargée.
@@issman thank you for the video! Very nice! 6l/100km with battery empty? Thank you!
@@EAlex37 My pleasure.
Thanks for the comment!
No this was with a full battery and soliciting the electric motor a lot.
If you drive on a highway this would jump up to ~8L/100 km easily.
@@issman 8l/100km on a highway with energy in batteries is worse than i though…i expected that consumption with empty batteries…
@@EAlex37 with empty batteries you are at ~10 L/100 km.
Now you should keep in mind that the figures I give are not from an eco efficient driving.
It is possible to run completely on the electric motor up to 135 km/h. This would make your consumption drop to around 2 L/100 km if you have a full battery.
However, if you do solicit the petrol engine by pushing hard on the gas pedal, your consumption will rise quickly.
