BMW X1 LWB Launched in India: Price, features, engine, interior space and what’s new in the long-wheelbase SUV

BMW has expanded its X1 line-up in India with the launch of the new BMW X1 Long Wheelbase (LWB), bringing more space, a roomier rear cabin and a new petrol-powered option to the luxury SUV segment.

The BMW X1 LWB is priced at Rs 49.90 lakh, ex-showroom. The new model is aimed at buyers looking for a more spacious luxury SUV, with BMW focusing particularly on rear-seat comfort.

BMW X1 LWB: More space for rear passengers

The biggest change is the extended wheelbase, which creates more room inside the cabin. BMW describes the X1 LWB as offering an abundant amount of interior space and the most spacious rear cabin in its segment.


The SUV gets a floating armrest design and a wireless phone charger, adding to the focus on passenger comfort.

The boot can offer up to 1,700 litres of space, giving the X1 LWB enough room for larger luggage requirements.

BMW X1 LWB: Features

The new SUV gets a widescreen curved display along with an M Sport steering wheel.

It also comes with BMW's latest iDrive system and BMW Digital Key Plus. The digital key can be shared with up to 18 users, meaning owners do not necessarily need to carry a physical key.

Another highlight is the panoramic glass roof, which BMW says is the biggest in its class.

BMW X1 LWB engine

The BMW X1 LWB is powered by a BMW TwinPower Turbo petrol engine that produces 156 hp and 230 Nm of peak torque.

The petrol engine is a new addition to the X1 LWB range in India, complementing the SUV's longer body and more spacious cabin.

BMW X1 LWB price and finance

The BMW X1 LWB costs Rs 49.90 lakh, ex-showroom.

BMW is also offering its Smart Finance plan at Rs 44,444 per month, subject to applicable terms and conditions.

The company is offering an assured buyback of 60% after four years, also subject to the applicable terms and conditions.

With the new X1 LWB, BMW is focusing on the part of the luxury SUV experience that matters most to families: more rear-seat space, more cabin comfort and a larger boot, while retaining the technology and styling of the X1.
