We called into a local dealership today to check out the issue of the seatbelts in the X1. In short its not been fixed in the facelift.
My wife is only 4’10” and when we put her in the car at the right seat height, and put the seatbelt over her, unfortunately it sits very close to her face, and does not sit in the right place over her chest at all.
So sadly we now know it won’t work for us.
We also checked out the Active Tourer whilst we were there, as they had an M Sport in alpine white which looked superb, but the distance from the sill to the seat is a touch too wide and it makes it too difficult for her to get into easily.
So another manufacturer bites the dust on our trek for a potential new car ?
