The BMW X1.

With its superior drivetrain technology also comprising BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system and its both modern and variable interior, the BMW X1 offers ideal qualities for truly versatile mobility ensuring a genuine driving experience.

The elevated seating position and the driver-oriented design of the cockpit enhance the emotional driving experience. Sophisticated materials, strikingly contoured surfaces and BMW iDrive fitted in conjunction with one of the optional navigation systems accentuate the premium character of the BMW X1 right from the start.

At the rear, the spacious compartment offers three full-sized seats. Folding down the rear-seat backrest split into three sections and adjustable also for angle, the driver and passengers are able to increase luggage compartment capacity from 420 litres cubic feet all the way to 1,350 litres. Numerous storage facilities and boxes add even greater function and practical value, while the optional Panorama glass roof ensures an even more generous feeling of space.

The BMW X1 sets new standards for driving pleasure in the premium compact segment. Benefiting from BMW EfficientDynamics, it also offers
the most favourable balance of performance and fuel economy within the segment of BMW X models.

The BMW X1 is entering the market with a choice of one six-cylinder petrol engine and three four-cylinder diesels. The straight-six petrol power unit featured in the BMW X1 xDrive28i boasts a composite magnesium/aluminium crankcase, VALVETRONIC valve management and dual-VANOS, and delivers maximum output of 190 kW. The BMW X1 xDrive23d comes with a 150 kW diesel featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo and common-rail fuel injection. The diesel engines in the BMW X1 xDrive20d delivering 130 kW and in the BMW X1 xDrive 18d with 105 kW, finally, also come with common-rail fuel injection as well as a turbocharger with variable intake geometry. These engines are also featured in the BMW X1 sDrive20d and the BMW X1 sDrive18d with the latter, equipped with rear-wheel drive, offering average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of only 5.2 litres/100 kilometres and a CO2 rating of 136 grams per kilometre as the most efficient and economical option for spontaneous driving pleasure.

Body design: versatile sportiness, self-confident elegance.
The driving characteristics of the BMW X1 combine superior agility with versatile sportiness – and precisely these features also come out in the design of the new model. At the same time the self-confident elegance so typical of the BMW X1 forms a perfect match with modern function all round. The front end, the side and the rear end flow smoothly into one another, striking and powerful lines creating a sleek and stylish connection between the various body elements.

Measuring 4.45 metres in length, this unique five-door stands out clearly from every angle as a fully-fledged BMW X model, despite its body dimensions smaller than on the BMW X6, the BMW X5, and the BMW X3. Square-contoured wheel arches, greater ground clearance, the slender protection cover on the lower part and the upright BMW kidney grille clearly symbolise the robust qualities of the new model, while long wheelbase of 2.76 metres and the low-slung rear window create sleek and stretched proportions testifying to the sporting character of the BMW X1. This sporting character is also borne out by the excellent aerodynamic qualities of the new model resulting, not least, in a drag coefficient of 0.32 on the BMW X1 sDrive20d, the BMW X1 xDrive18d, and the BMW X1 sDrive18d.

Through its strong and muscular bumper and the BMW kidney grille merging smoothly with all surrounding elements, the front end spells out powerful presence right from the start. The widely flared wheel arches and the strongly contoured engine lid with its contour lines stretching towards the kidney grille give the BMW X1 a particularly powerful and muscular appearance.
