Cardenas BMW

One of the great things about BMW their straightforward naming scheme. It’s not a list of city, animal, or landmark names, they use numbers that correspond to vehicle size! Looking at the 2021 BMW X1, you know it is the smallest BMW crossover. One reason crossovers are so popular is because they offer more cargo space than sedans in the same class size. But how much does the smallest BMW crossover have? Continue reading or come see one at Cardenas BMW in Harlingen, Texas to find out!

How Much Can You Fit in the Back of the 2021 BMW X1?

The cargo space in the back of the BMW X1 is a generous 27.1 cubic feet, and that’s not even the limit. When you fold the seats down, you can more than double that amount of space to 58.7 cubic feet. That might be hard to visualize, but you can think of it as enough space to fit a chair or two and maybe a nightstand depending on how well aligned everything is. It’s more than enough to load up a month’s worth of groceries, but it isn’t made to carry long boards or panels of wood.

How Much Weight can the 2021 BMW X1 Carry?

You will have to make sure you add less than 1,000 lbs to your BMW X1 when you want to carry cargo. Think about the weight of passengers, and make sure you don’t exceed the payload of 926 lbs. Carrying too much is dangerous and can damage your vehicle. If you want to tow, consider getting a BMW X3, X4 or larger.

Overall, the BMW X1 is a subcompact crossover, so its front seats are comfortable for all adults, but the back row might be tight for older passengers. It’s great for couples that want a fun crossover to drive around in, and young parents will have plenty of room to put children in the back row.
