Terms read 28 October 2026See BMW’s terms

“You may have the normal periodic maintenance performed by an outlet not authorised by BMW. However, BMW can only recommend authorised BMW dealers, as it has control of the equipment, spare parts and training standards of those dealers. Therefore, this BMW (New Vehicle) Supplementary Warranty will not cover a claim to the extent to which it has been caused by poor servicing performed by an outlet not authorised by BMW.”

UK specifications — not the Australian certification

This model has not been certified for sale in Australia yet, so there is no ADR fuel label and no Green Vehicle Guide record for it. The figures below are the manufacturer's own WLTP numbers, published here so you can size the car up early. Expect the Australian figures to differ. Local pricing, warranty and any ANCAP rating are unknown and deliberately left blank rather than estimated.

Overview

The 2026 BMW X1 sDrive18i is a five-seat SUV with a petrol engine, front-wheel drive and an automatic, making 115kW and 230Nm. It's priced from $61,800 RRP, which is before on-road costs, so the figure you pay on the road will be higher. BMW quotes fuel use of 6.5L/100km combined, the boot holds 540 litres with the rear seats up and 1,600 litres folded, and it can tow 1,700kg braked. It's not quick, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 9 seconds, so it suits buyers who want a practical, easy-going family SUV more than anything sporty.

Child seats and anchors

2+35 seats· 2 ISOFIX · 3 tether
frontITTITrear
ISOFIX Top-tether Both None

ISOFIX lower anchors clip a compatible child seat straight to the car's frame, the quickest, most mistake-proof fit.

Top-tether straps stop a forward-facing seat pitching in a crash. Australian law requires a tether on every forward-facing child seat, so rear seats almost always have them.

Most 5-seat cars carry 2 ISOFIX on the outer 2nd-row seats plus tethers across the row; some 7-seaters add anchors in the third row.

The 2026 BMW X1 sDrive18i is a five-seat SUV with a petrol engine, front-wheel drive and an automatic, making 115kW and 230Nm. It's priced from $61,800 RRP, which is before on-road costs, so the figure you pay on the road will be higher. BMW quotes fuel use of 6.5L/100km combined, the boot holds 540 litres with the rear seats up and 1,600 litres folded, and it can tow 1,700kg braked. It's not quick, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 9 seconds, so it suits buyers who want a practical, easy-going family SUV more than anything sporty.
