BMW X1 Mileage
₹50.90 Lakh to ₹52.90 Lakhex-showroom
The diesel is the frugal X1. The sDrive18d is rated at 20.37 kmpl, helped by its torquey 2.0 litre engine. The petrol sDrive18i returns 16.35 kmpl. Both figures are ARAI ratings, so city driving will read lower. If you cover long distances often, the diesel earns its small price premium. Match each figure to its variant.

Mileage is how far the X1 travels on one litre of fuel (or one kg of CNG). A bigger number means you spend less on fuel. Carmakers quote an ARAI lab figure; in real driving you get a bit less, so both are shown below.
