    CarExpert Choice winner: Best Luxury Small SUV

    The X1 may be BMW's smallest SUV, but it offers the German brand's traditional strong suits in a more affordable package.

    The BMW X1 has been named Australia’s best small luxury SUV in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice awards.

    It beat out the Lexus LBX and Volvo XC40 for the title.

    As an entry-level luxury vehicle, the X1 is expected to offer a stylish exterior and interior, a luxurious feel, refined road manners, and slick technology. It delivers on all fronts.

    The X1 doesn’t sacrifice practicality for style, with a usable back seat and a roomy boot.

    Even in base guise, the X1 boasts peppy performance and agile handling, but you can step all the way up to the rapid M35i xDrive with a claimed 0-100km/h time of just 5.4 seconds.

    Overall, the X1 has a polished look and feel that’s befitting of something wearing the BMW badge, as well as the compact dimensions and nimble feel expected of a small luxury SUV.
