2027 BMW X1

The BMW X1 rolls into 2027 with no major changes, with MSRP at $44,550 to $53,750 for the 241-hp xDrive28i and 312-hp M35i. A $500 price increase over last year still leaves it undercutting most rivals: the Volvo XC40 is slightly less, the Mercedes-Benz GLA is nearly identical at around $42,000, and the Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLB cost more.
