Now obviously, the high-resolution 10.25-inch unit us a touchscreen, but it does retain the rotary iDrive controller on the centre console. BMW has also added a new head-up display, wireless charging function and a new 205W Hi-Fi Sound System to the X1 as part of the Tech Edition update. Now other than that, standard elements like the stack on buttons on the dashboard, analogue instrument cluster and even the steering wheel have been carried over and they now seem to look a bit dated for its segment.

Safety features include six airbags, Attentiveness Assistance, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Cornering Brake Control (CBC) and electric parking brake with auto hold among others.
