The all-new BMW X1 luxury compact SUV could be the new benchmark for premium crossover buyers. But only if you choose the right spec.

That's because the base model version sold in Australia may be cheaper, but it gets a powertrain that won't suit everyone's tastes. There is a more powerful petrol model, as well, and if you want a version that still runs on dinosaur juice, it's the one to pick.

But then again, there's a pair of electric X1 models - the iX1, as it's known - which puts the new model on a battle path with the Volvo XC40, which also has petrol or EV versions.

From the interior packaging and boot space, to the drive experience and warranty cover, this video will give you an idea as to whether the BMW X1 is the right car for you... or not.

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.

If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
