The all-new BMW X1

Rugged proportions, powerfully sculpted surfaces and all the hallmark visuals of a sports activity vehicle (SAV) – the design of the second generation of BMW X1 exudes poise and independence but remains unmistakably a BMW, even at first sight. The ‘three-eyed’ face formed by the twin circular LED headlights and the fog lamps is likewise a hallmark feature X model.
 
The interior design majors on authoritative driving pleasure. The interior of the all-new BMW X1 boasts exemplary ergonomics and typical BMW driver orientation. The elevated seating position typical of a BMW X model, a new interpretation of the hallmark driver-focused cockpit treats its passengers to the best possible view, enjoyed with a premium ambience that exudes high quality and workmanship.

The rear seat can also be completely folded down to increase the compartment capacity to an impressive 1550 litres.
 
The all-new BMW X1 adapts perfectly not only to an active lifestyle but also to personal taste. The three exclusive design schemes – Expedition, xLine and M Sport offer options that meet individual requirements. xLine is the perfect choice to further emphasise off-roading character of the all-new BMW X1. It reinforces the impression through its satinised aluminium add-ons and specific 18" light alloy wheels. Special colours and materials in the interior stylishly round off the xLine. M Sport unleashes the sporting potential of the all-new BMW X1. It is fitted with M aerodynamic package and 18-inch M light-alloy wheels along with M badging on the sides that further emphasise its dynamic character. The interior features an extremely sporty cockpit design with M sports seats and M leather steering wheel. xLine and M Sport both feature panorama sunroof and ambient lighting scheme. 
 
The TwinPower Turbo 1,995 cc four- cylinder diesel engine delivers excellent power output and responsiveness even at low RPMs. The turbocharger technology with variable turbine geometry and common rail direct fuel injection system ensures both fuel efficiency and low emissions that yields an exceptional power output of 140 kW / 190 hp. High torque of 400 Nm is available at just 1,750 – 2,500 rpm.

The new eight-speed steptronic automatic transmission performs smooth, almost imperceptible gear shifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and efficiency.
 
The all-new BMW X1 is equipped as standard with Servotronic speed-sensitive steering assistance which allows parking and turning-off manoeuvres to be completed safely and comfortably with little steering effort. At higher speeds drivers can especially look forward to the steering precision.
 
BMW xDrive, an intelligent all-wheel-drive system, in the all-new BMW X1 monitors the driving situation constantly, is quick to respond and is more efficient than ever.  The compact, low-weight and efficient all-wheel-drive system distributes the engine’s power between the front and rear axle exactly to suit the driving situation and the surface. With xDrive and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), the vehicle remains directionally stable and distributes drive power flexibly between the two axles for optimum grip and safety. 
 
The all-new BMW X1 provides unparalleled performance coupled with cutting-edge safety technologies.

BMW EfficientDynamics measures make a key contribution to the excellent fuel efficiency of the all- new BMW X1. Aerodynamic excellence and the accompanying reduction in fuel consumption are guaranteed by details such as the side air blades on the tailgate and the air curtain integrated into the air inlets at the front. These measures are aided by additional features such as the 50:50 weight distribution, low centre of gravity, intelligent lightweight construction, automatic start/stop function, ECO PRO mode, brake energy regeneration, electric power steering and more.
