Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 X1.
Utilizing an Automatic (S8) transmission, the 2022 BMW X1 returns EPA fuel economy ratings of 24/33/27 mpg. Within the broader model complaint history spanning 2012 to 2026, this model year distinguishes itself with the lowest recorded volume at just one owner complaint, a sharp decline from the 2016 peak of 159. Although the solitary issue falls under the engine category and two recalls are noted, this minimal feedback positions the 2022 iteration as the least problematic entry in the covered history.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 BMW X1 shows the lowest complaint volume in the federal record provided — just 1 complaint with no crash or fire reports and only a single engine-area filing — placing it at the quietest point of an arc that peaked at 159 complaints in 2016 and 154 in 2017, then declined steadily to 6 by 2021. Recall activity is moderate at 2 (well below the 2023 spike of 6 and the 2018 peak of 4, but above the single-recall years of 2020–2021), while the 63 TSBs sit roughly mid-range across the dataset. Most relevant for a used buyer, 2022 sits immediately before a sharp jump to 70 complaints and 6 recalls in 2023 — the data does not specify root causes, so whether that escalation reflects a generation change, early-production issues, or reporting lag cannot be determined from this record. With the cleanest complaint profile of any year shown, zero fire or crash indicators, and modest recall exposure, 2022 is a defensible used X1 choice, but a pre-purchase inspection plus verification that the 2 outstanding recalls have been completed are warranted given the 2023 escalation right behind it.
