Can you afford a 2015-2022 BMW X1 xDrive20d in 2025?

# 2015-2022 BMW X1 xDrive20d The second-generation BMW X1 transformed from a wagon-like quirk into a practical, front-wheel-drive-based crossover. The xDrive20d pairs BMW's renowned 2.0-liter turbodiesel (190 hp) with all-wheel drive, delivering excellent fuel economy and punchy mid-range torque. **Critical Reception:** Reviewers praise its spacious, upscale interior, composed handling that retains BMW's sporting character, and impressive rear legroom. The diesel's refinement and efficiency earn particular acclaim in European markets. **Notable Aspects:** Initially controversial for abandoning rear-wheel drive, it ultimately won fans with superior practicality. The diesel engine offers 30+ mpg with confident performance. **Ideal For:** Small families seeking premium quality with running costs lower than gasoline alternatives. Perfect for highway commuters and those prioritizing space over brand purist expectations. Note: diesel models weren't sold in North America.

The X1 xDrive20d features BMW's B47 diesel engine, generally reliable but can experience timing chain issues and EGR/DPF problems if used primarily for short trips. Maintenance costs are moderate for a premium brand. Insurance is reasonable for the class. Regular dealer servicing recommended. Diesel particulate filter requires occasional highway driving to regenerate properly.
