NCAP 5★

The X1 is a well-rounded premium compact SUV with impressive safety credentials, sharp handling, and a tech-forward cabin that justifies its ₹50.9 lakh positioning. However, the 148 bhp petrol engine feels slightly coarse for the segment, and restricting variants to a single powertrain limits buyer flexibility—best experienced in higher trims where features justify the premium.

Stands out

  • 5-star NCAP rating with 6 airbags for robust crash protection
  • Composed handling and ride quality with improved roominess
  • Tech-laden cabin with 4 connected features and ADAS functions
  • 20.37 kmpl efficiency for a petrol compact SUV
  • Strong value proposition at this price point

!Gives us pause

  • Single petrol engine option across all variants limits choice
  • 148 bhp feels slightly coarse and unrefined in real-world driving
  • Touchscreen menu layout lacks intuitive controls
  • No sunroof or ventilated seats for cabin comfort
  • Powertrain doesn't match segment refinement expectations
