The BMW X1 ground clearance for 2021 (and the preceding five years) is 7.2 inches. This is below the general rule of 8.5 in. of ground clearance required for most off-roading activities.
While this is lower than the suggested level, there are many significant advantages to the BMW X1’s ground clearance, including ultra-light off-roading. If you’re looking to get into more serious off-roading or need an extra inch of clearance to navigate that uneven road leading to your private winter wonderland cabin, there are basic steps you can take, such as installing a lift kit, to get the extra clearance you need.
