The youngest SUV in the BMW family has received a comprehensive update and despite being the smallest, it doesn't look like one. The current generation BMW X1 surprised us with its grown proportions and bold styling and even car enthusiasts confused it with the X3. The new 2020 facelift model builds up on that with clear and prominent revisions made to its face and rear. It looks more dominant sporting larger kidney grilles which merge in the centre. The new Adaptive LED headlamps include sharper light iconography and the bumper along with integrated LED foglamps also houses larger air intakes. The rear end of the X1 also looks stylish. For instance, the new inlay in the body-colour rear apron adopts the car's main body colour.
