Glos guy- thank you for your honest input, your totally right as x1 is a great car and I’m in two minds if I should stick to the order. I never speed and drive mainly on eco mode but still averaging 25mpg mainly in the city. A quick question, what difference is there in the facelift? Regards
Aside from the cosmetic differences (improved exterior styling, different alloys which are two tone and upgraded interior with leather look sections with contrast stitching on the dashboard) the xLine now has £2,500 more equipment as standard. I worked it all out when we were considering which car to get, as we had discounted the X1 back in 2018 as we felt that the pre facelift version seemed a bit low rent and lacked standard equipment. Unfortunately, I haven’t kept the info but, from memory, the standard iDrive screen is now bigger, the standard seats have improved (they still lack under thigh support though IMO, which is why we added Sport Seats), automated parking has been added, LED headlights, front and side parking sensors (as well as rear) and a number of safety features. There’s probably more but I can’t remember what else wasn’t standard in 2018.
All that being said, now that you have said that your driving is mostly around town, you are never going to get great mpg from any petrol or diesel car. Assuming that you don’t have the ability to charge at home (if you did, a Plug-in hybrid would be best for you) then a self charging hybrid could be the way to go for you, but that would obviously mean something other than a BMW.
