NCAP 5★

“The X1 is a well-rounded premium compact SUV with impressive safety credentials, sharp handling, and a tech-forward cabin that justifies its ₹50.9 lakh positioning. However, the 148 bhp petrol engine feels slightly coarse for the segment, and restricting variants to a single powertrain limits buyer flexibility—best experienced in higher trims where features justify the premium.

5-star NCAPPremium safety standard few compact SUVs match.
