2016 X1
Practical with lots of interior room; Fuel efficient but powerful engine; BMW cachet; inexpensive base price
The BMW X1 is all new for 2016, having been updated inside and out. Styling is now more in line with the rest of the BMW lineup and a new engine promises better efficiency. Interior space has been increased over last year's vehicle, making the 2016 X1 more practical, but at the same time, it hasn't gotten so big as to no longer be easy to drive in the city.
