# 2022-2025 BMW X1 sDrive18d The second-generation BMW X1 sDrive18d is a compact luxury crossover combining practicality with premium appeal. Powered by a 2.0-liter diesel four-cylinder producing around 150 hp, this front-wheel-drive variant prioritizes efficiency over performance.

The B47 diesel engine is generally reliable but may need AdBlue fluid top-ups. Insurance costs are reasonable for a premium compact SUV.
