We recently discovered a list of subscription-based features in a 2023 BMW X1 we had in for testing. And we had some thoughts about it.
Technology continues to play an increased role in the daily operation of our cars. For some, the shift has been welcome: stuffing modern technology into our cars has drastically increased available creature comforts during our daily commutes. For others, the addition of all this newfangled tech does nothing but add cost and complication.
Then there's the issue of getting the tech you actually want in your car. Want leather seats? You're going to have to step up a trim level. Oh, you wanted a manual gearbox? That's only available in the base trim. Want a reverse automated emergency braking warning to keep your teenager out of trouble? That's fine, so long as you don't mind also buying four completely unrelated features.
Some automakers have been toying with the idea of shifting the buying process. Rather than buying the features and packages you want when buying your new car, the automaker would grant access to the features on a subscription program. Instead of spending thousands on a cold weather package, you could pay for things like heated seats only during the cold months you need them. Cue alarm bells.
