This is just an educated guess, but I think the new X1 is going to be somewhat smaller in total length, however interior space will probably be about the same. It will become FWD biased based on the Mini Countryman platform. And I would guess it will be both faster and more fuel efficient. But because it will be FWD biased and will have electronic steering (instead of hydraulic), it will most likely not handle as well, or it may handle as well but just may not have the same feel.

If it were me I would just wait for the new one as it will most likely have many more features than the current model. I would expect the new version of iDrive and many of the newer safety features and probably also adaptive cruise control.
