Pros Cons of BMW X1

Pros

  • Feels larger than segment
  • Strong diesel torque advantage
  • Engaging BMW steering feel
  • Premium curved display setup
  • Competitive luxury pricing

Cons

  • Slightly firm ride quality
  • Rear middle seat compromised
  • Diesel only in top trim
  • Petrol lacks strong punch

Verdict

The BMW X1 is no longer the “starter BMW” you buy just to enter the brand. It feels confident, bigger, and far more complete than before. From its stronger road presence to its punchy diesel engine and engaging steering, it finally carries the weight of the badge properly. Yes, the ride is slightly firm, and the rear middle seat isn’t perfect. But if you enjoy driving and want a premium SUV that feels mature without becoming boring, the X1 makes a strong case. It balances luxury, performance, and everyday usability in a way that feels smart and modern.

As Shams Raza Naqvi puts it, “The new X1 has adapted well to today’s times.”

And that’s exactly it — the BMW X1 has finally grown into its badge.

Best For

  • Urban premium SUV buyers
  • Diesel-loving luxury drivers
  • Young executives upgrading
  • Drivers who enjoy steering feel

Not Ideal For

  • Soft suspension seekers
  • Budget-focused buyers
  • Rear seat priority users
  • Flashy luxury hunters

Pros Cons of Lexus NX

Pros

  • Compact proportions but good road presence
  • Ride and handling is good
  • Practical SUV with hybrid powertrain

Cons

  • After sales and service an issue
  • Cabin is outdated
  • No diesel powertrain on offer given the segment

Verdict

The New NX 350h has been awarded the highest rating of 5 stars by Euro NCAP, and with this new car, the Lexus safety system has also come to India. This means a whole lot of driver assist features are now available with the car. This includes Lane tracing Assist, Lane departure Assist and Rear cross traffic alert amongst others. However, the Automatic emergency brakeing feature seen in the United States is missing in India.
