The BMW 1 Series is the most compact and affordable BMW there is, so it’s not surprising that many people look to lease a 1 Series in the UK. The latest model is notable for looking quite different to those that have gone before, as well as making the switch from rear to front-wheel drive. If you want to get behind the wheel of this popular hatchback check out our BMW 1 Series leasing deals below.

The BMW 1 Series is the latest model to have swapped the traditional formula for front-wheel drive. However, BMW has made sure that the 1 Series is just as satisfying to drive, regardless of which engine you choose.
BMW has always stood out for their high-class cabins, making the driver feel like they’re safely ‘cocooned’ while sitting at the wheel. It’s high-tech, too – no matter which trim level you decide to lease a BMW 1 Series in, you get a digital driver’s display and a large 10.25-inch dashboard screen to control navigation, music and other key functions.
Leasing a BMW 1 Series could be perfect for a younger couple or small family looking for a family hatchback to fit themselves and their luggage. The 380-litre boot offers a similar capacity to the Volkswagen Golf and is more generous with space than a Mercedes-Benz A-Class. The front-wheel-drive creates additional room for both front and rear passengers than previous BMW 1 Series models.
The BMW 1 Series is available to lease with several engine options. For petrol users, the 118i offers a good balance between acceleration and fuel economy, while those keeping a close eye on their running costs will likely prefer to lease a diesel BMW 1 Series – the entry-level 116d can return nearly 63mpg depending on spec.
There are also more powerful 118d and 120d diesel options, which are still very efficient.
