The BMW X1 is as practical as it is fun to drive. It’s the smallest luxury compact SUV in the BMW range but it’s incredibly versatile in terms of space, and it’s powerful enough to tow small trailers too. It's also a dream to drive like any BMW, with surprisingly sporty handling and suspension. Our BMW X1 lease deals are a great way to get behind the wheel of this popular family car.
Unfussy exterior and interior design.
Thoroughly capable dynamics.
Spacious, well-built interior.
An X1 lease gives you a car that is spacious enough for road trips, built to a high standard, and undoubtedly one of the sharpest SUVs to drive. Add in a wide selection of engines, trims and equipment, and it’s easy to see why the X1 is a popular leasing choice.
An X1 lease offers decent interior space for 4 adults, although adding a 5th passenger makes for a tight rear row. This is no different from the rest of its competitors and the X1 is actually a bit more spacious than average when it comes to boot space. It handily stores more cargo than its rivals the Volvo XC40, Audi Q3, and Mercedes-Benz GLA.
The BMW X1 range comes with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid engines. The plug-in hybrid is the best for economy with a 156.9mpg claimed consumption figure and a low 11% benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax band. If your commute won’t regularly capitalise on the 32 miles of all-electric range, then one of the diesels would be a better fit. Both offer between 50-55mpg, while the petrol engines are closer to 43mpg on average.
Leasing a BMW X1 means you’ll be delivered a brand-new car to your front door for a fixed monthly payment. These fixed monthly payments will be paid for the length of your lease contract. While lease deals will often last between 2 to 5 years, you can choose a leasing contract length to suit your needs.
You’ll also be able to choose your annual mileage and decide how much you’d like to pay upfront. Car maintenance and servicing expenses are available as an optional extra that can be added to your lease deal. Once your lease deal ends, all you have to do is return the car.

Choosing a BMW X1 business lease means you’ll be able to reclaim 100% of the VAT on your lease deal, providing your company is eligible to do so.
The BMW X1 is a 5-door compact SUV. The mechanically similar BMW X2 is a coupe-style variant.
The BMW X1 is available in 4 trims, the main changes being unique interior finishes, sportier front seats and subtle exterior differences. The M Sport trim adds M Sport suspension and unique interior accents. The xLine trim is the ideal blend between luxury and sportiness, although in all cases adding too many options can easily inflate the price.
Base SE trim models come with 17-inch alloys, cloth upholstery, an 8.8-inch infotainment system and silver interior trim. Options include a panoramic sunroof, large infotainment set-up, leather upholstery, Comfort Access, and numerous tech and comfort extras.
