With about 1300 total miles on my 2024 x1 28i I just completed my 1st long drive. The 345 miles were mostly highway diving between 55-68 mph. After filling up with 9.317 gallons I calculated the actual MPG to be 37.03 on the 345 trip. The X1 stated (calculated) 40.1, so I’m guessing it’s a bit more optimistic than the true #.

Either way I’m impressed with the mileage as it’s way above the mfr.’s 28 overall or 34 highway mileage published claims. Impressive #’s for a 241 hp engine with an automatic transmission.

How is the automatic in your car. Does it still feel like there is a dead spot from a full stop to accelerate.

After initially using “Sport” mode for awhile I began to keep it in “Personal” not “Sport” mode & deactivate the engine Stop/Go each time I drive. I find the transmission is not as jerky using this setting & the steering is firm enough for my taste.

While there is a bit of delay when I step down in peddle hard, I guess I’m used to the hesitation that many turbos have because I don’t feel the x1 is any worse that my 2019 Acura RDX I drive. I can’t say with certainty that the DCT is causing a further time delay but it might be. In Personal mode it’s far less jerky than in Sport & it does not stay in low gear as long nor downshift as much. I’m not an aggressive driver so Personal works for me most of the time.

I’ll switch to Sport sometimes when I’m on a twisty road when I want steering to be more weighted. (if they had a setting adjustment to adjust steering while in Personal, I’d probably do that instead.
