The petrol BMW X1 Long Wheelbase is now on sale in India. BMW lists a starting price of ₹49.90 lakh, replacing this article’s earlier ₹51–55 lakh estimate.
The X1 LWB stretches the standard car by 116mm overall, with 110mm of that going into the wheelbase, now 2,800mm. Height picks up an extra 11mm too. None of it shows up in a redesign, the kidney grille, twin-pod LED headlamps and L-shaped tail lights all carry over unchanged. The difference lives entirely in rear legroom, which is really the whole point of the exercise.
BMW’s current X1 LWB page lists a 156-horsepower petrol engine and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The previous suggestion that a diesel might carry over to the LWB was speculative and has been removed. The electric iX1 is a separate model.
Why It Matters
The buying question is rear-seat comfort versus the exterior size you can comfortably park. Try the back seat with the front seat adjusted to your normal driving position, and compare the actual dealer specification with the Q3 and GLA before deciding.
