2019 X1 Exterior

The styling of the X1 is quite conservative but still mirrors many of the design elements found in the rest of the BMW SUV range. The front is dominated by the kidney grille which is proportionate to the rest of the car, unlike the over-zealous installation on the X7. The upswept LED headlights are stylish without being overly aggressive, and the round fog lights add a sporty touch. The side profile is enhanced by the creases running the length of the body, and with both the 18-inch and 19-inch wheel options, the stance of the X1 is bold and assertive. At the rear end of the X1, the chunky tail-light clusters are a nice touch, as are the twin-exit exhausts.
