BMW X1 LWB
The BMW X1 LWB is the extended-wheelbase version of the standard X1 and is offered exclusively with a turbo-petrol engine. Interestingly, this engine produces 22 bhp more than the one in the standard X1. But the extra length is not its only advantage. The X1 LWB also gets more features, offers noticeably more legroom, and is priced around Rs 1 lakh lower than the standard X1 it is based on. For someone looking to buy an entry-level luxury SUV, the X1 LWB ticks several important boxes, combining performance, features, space and the premium experience buyers expect from a BMW.

Should I buy the X1 LWB?
The BMW X1 LWB makes a strong case as an entry-level luxury SUV, offering almost everything Indian buyers typically look for: space, features, premium looks and an attractive price. Its 1.5-litre petrol engine boasts a claimed fuel efficiency of 15.5 kmpl and is E25-compliant, so ethanol-blended fuel shouldn’t be a concern. With a stretched wheelbase, more power and plenty of added equipment, BMW has ensured that the LWB doesn’t feel like a compromised version of the X1. In many ways, it could be an ideal choice for someone looking to make their first premium car purchase.
- Longer, more imposing stance: At 4,616mm long, the X1 LWB is the longest SUV in its segment, giving it a more substantial presence than the standard X1.
- 108mm longer wheelbase: Its 2,800mm wheelbase is around 108mm longer than the standard X1, with the extra length primarily benefiting rear-seat space.
- 116mm longer overall: The X1 LWB is 116 mm longer overall than the standard X1, while the width remains unchanged, making the stretched profile most noticeable from the side.
- Slightly taller: At 1,641mm, the X1 LWB is around 11mm taller, adding to its upright and commanding stance.
- Much more rear-seat space: The longer wheelbase adds 150mm of legroom and 109mm of knee room, making the rear seat the biggest reason to choose the LWB.
- Familiar BMW face: The signature kidney grille remains, while the Adaptive LED headlights stretch towards the sides, giving the front a wider look.
- Stretched side profile: The longer roofline, satin-finished roof rails, square wheel arches and 18-inch M alloy wheels give it a more mature and substantial stance.
- Bold rear design: The rear gets 3D sculpted LED tail lights and a large diffuser, adding to the SUV’s wider and more planted appearance.
- Large panoramic sunroof: The 9 sq ft panoramic sunroof is claimed to be the largest in the segment and adds to the airy feel of the cabin.
- 540-litre boot: Despite the focus on rear-seat space, the X1 LWB still offers a 540-litre boot, expandable to 1,700 litres with the rear seats folded.
- Four colour options: It is available in Night Dusk Blue, Skyscraper Grey, Carbon Black and Mineral White.
X1 LWB body specifications:
| Seating Capacity | 5 seaters |
| Ground Clearance | 205 mm |
| Boot Space | 540 liters |

- Widescreen curved display: The dashboard gets BMW’s Widescreen Curved Display running BMW OS 9, giving the cabin a clean, modern look with most functions accessible through the touchscreen and controls.
- Adaptive LED headlights: The X1 LWB gets Adaptive LED headlights, which also feature a cornering function. BMW’s High Beam Assistant automatically manages the high beam to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic.
- Large panoramic sunroof: The 9 sq ft panoramic sunroof is one of the biggest highlights of the X1 LWB and is claimed to be the largest in its segment. It also makes the already spacious cabin feel more airy.
- Harman Kardon sound system: Music duties are handled by a 12-speaker Harman Kardon system with 205W output, which is a nice touch for a luxury SUV at this price point.
Digital Key Plus: You can use a compatible smartphone or smartwatch as the car’s key to lock, unlock and start the SUV. BMW also allows the digital key to be shared with up to 18 users. - Comfort Access 2.0: This takes keyless entry a step further. The X1 LWB can unlock without requiring you to tap your phone or smartwatch on the door handle, making the feature genuinely useful when your hands are full.
- 360-degree camera: The Parking Assistant Plus with a 360-degree surround-view camera should come in handy, especially considering the X1 LWB’s increased length.
- Reversing Assistant: One of the more interesting features is the Reversing Assistant, which remembers the last 50 metres driven and can automatically steer the SUV back along the same route. It could prove particularly useful in tight lanes and parking areas.
- Driver assistance features: The X1 LWB gets Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Assistant, Automatic Emergency Braking, Cruise Control with Braking Function and Attentiveness Assistant, among other safety systems.
- Eight airbags: Safety kit includes eight airbags, ABS with Brake Assist, Dynamic Stability Control, Dynamic Traction Control and Cornering Brake Control, along with other standard safety equipment.
- Electric front seats: Both front occupants get multi-way electrically adjustable Sport Seats, while the driver gets a commanding seating position with a clear view ahead.
- Rear-seat comfort: This is where the LWB really separates itself. The rear seats get 150mm more legroom, 109mm more kneeroom and 15mm of additional seat cushioning, while the backrests can recline up to 28.5 degrees.
- Wireless smartphone charger: There’s also a vertically stacked wireless charger with a dedicated holder integrated into the centre console, keeping the phone secure while charging.
X1 LWB features:
| TPMS | Yes |
| Wireless Charger | Yes - Front |
| Ventilated Seats | No |
- The X1 LWB gets a three-cylinder 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, making it the only petrol-powered version in the X1 range in India.
- 156 hp and 230 Nm: It produces 156 hp and 230 Nm, with the peak torque available from 1,500-4,600 rpm. That should give it enough low-end punch for everyday city driving and effortless cruising.
- More powerful than the standard X1: BMW has given the LWB version a higher state of tune, with 22 PS more power than the standard petrol X1. This extra output is useful given the LWB's larger dimensions and added weight.
- 7-speed DCT: The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, which sends power to the front wheels.
- Not your typical BMW powertrain: The front-wheel-drive layout and three-cylinder engine make it clear that the X1 LWB is more about easy performance and everyday comfort than the rear-driven, enthusiast-focused character traditionally associated with BMW.
- BMW claims a fuel efficiency figure of 15.5 kmpl, which is respectable for a luxury SUV of this size.
- Comfort-focused setup: The X1 LWB gets a specially tuned Comfort suspension, with increased caster travel aimed at making the SUV more comfortable over broken and patchy roads.
- Despite being front-wheel drive, BMW says the X1 LWB retains a 50:50 weight distribution, which should help keep its handling predictable and stable.
