1. Safety

The BMW X1 has a high level of safety with its active and passive safety system, making it an exceptional choice for driving enthusiasts in the UAE. For active safety, the car is equipped with an automatic braking system, which helps to avoid sudden collisions by sensing obstacles in front of the car. In addition, a lane departure warning system and a blind spot detection system are available to ensure the safety of the driver and passengers while driving on highways.

As for passive safety, the BMW X1 comes with a sturdy chassis made of high-quality aluminum alloy that ensures the protection of passengers during accidents. The car is also equipped with multiple airbags distributed in critical positions inside the cabin, including front and side airbags.

2. The cost of buying a car

The price of the new BMW X1 in the UAE is about RM165, 000 AED. When you pay a 20% down payment (i.e. AED 33,000) and rely on a 60-month financing plan with an interest rate of 1.9%, the monthly installment is about AED 2,700. This makes owning a BMW X1 an affordable option for many luxury car enthusiasts.

As for the resale value, the BMW X1 is one of the most sought-after cars in the UAE used market; the average price of a used car of the same model is about AED 120,000 after three years, which means that it retains about 73% of its original value, an excellent percentage reflecting the quality of the car and the continuity of demand for it.

3. The cost of using the car

The efficiency of the BMW X1 is enhanced by its modern engine and its fuel efficiency. The engine consumes gasoline at an average rate of 6.5 L/100 km. Assuming that the average price of gasoline in the UAE is AED 3.50 per liter and driving a car for 15,000 kilometers per year, the annual fuel costs range around AED 3,412, making it an economical option in the long run.

As for maintenance, the BMW X1 needs regular maintenance every 10,000 kilometers. The annual maintenance cost is estimated at around AED 3,000-4,000, depending on the type of service required.
