The 2021 BMW X1 has been launched with two trim levels called sDrive28i and xDrive28i. The base model sDrive28i priced at $35,200 comes with a number of features and perks but we would recommend the xDrive28i which gives AWD and some additional features for a minimal bump in the price of around $2000.

Moreover, you could also add the M sports package and get the sporty bucket seats for the front-row seats. However, the xDrive28i would set you back by $37,400.
