A subcompact SUV like the BMW X1 is great for traveling on the busy streets of Atlantic City, Egg Harbor, and Vineland, New Jersey. What makes this car unique, though, is that it’s referred to as a Sports Activity Vehicle® (SAV®). Designed with top-tier power and agility, this model can handle just about any driving scenario.
However, there’s much more to this automobile, and we’ll discuss it below in this detailed 2021 BMW X1 review. Discover what’s to be found inside this SAV®, then contact BMW of Atlantic City to view it in person.

The 2021 BMW X1 is built to operate smoothly on any road, any time of the year. This stems from what’s found under the hood.
The vehicle comes with a 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine. Though it’s the singular option, its power is undeniable. With 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, you’re looking at a 60 MPH acceleration rate of just 6.6 seconds. Plus, with an EPA-estimated 24 city/33 highway MPG, you can forgo frequent trips to the gas station.
The X1 offers a precise ride, too, thanks to a nearly 50/50 weight distribution, Dynamic Stability Control, and Dynamic Traction Control. What’s more impressive, though, is how the vehicle handles in the rain or snow. Thanks to the available xDrive all-wheel-drive system, you’ll always remain in control inside this SAV®.
