The sharper design of the new BMW X1 strengthens its authentic and powerful SAV character. With commanding proportions, a high seating position and good road visibility, it has a greater road presence than ever before.

The exterior embodies a muscular and dominant character with precisely drawn lines and strikingly contoured surfaces. The front has an imposing appearance with larger BMW grille and air intakes as well as striking new LED headlights with LED foglamps.

The athletic side view is complemented by a dynamic wedge shape formed by the roofline, eye-catching character lines and window surfaces that taper towards the rear. The rear design underscores the car’s width and sporty stance with wrap-around LED rear lights, inlays in body color and bigger twin exhaust tailpipes.

The new BMW X1 has generous proportions, comfort and a feeling of spaciousness on the inside, thanks to an intelligent vehicle structure and smartly conceived interior configuration.

Entry into the new BMW X1 is rather stylish with a welcome greeting ‘X1’ projected onto the ground from the side mirrors. Ample room for all occupants, along with horizontal surface design, create an ambience typical of a sports activity vehicle. Filling up the cabin with a sense of spaciousness and light is the large Panorama glass roof.

Ambient lighting with six dimmable designs creates an atmosphere for every mood. The micro-activated carbon particulate filter ensures clean and fresh air inside the cabin. Comfortable seating is an important consideration for long journeys and traffic jams and the new BMW X1 offers electrical seat adjustment for both driver (with memory function) and passenger.

M Sport offers Sport Seats for driver and front passenger. The rear seat backrest can be reclined for added comfort. Folding down the 40:20:40 split backrest increases boot capacity from 500 litres to 1,550 litres, making the versatility of new BMW X1 suitable for all kinds of journeys.

Thanks to unrivalled BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the BS-VI petrol and diesel engines meld best-in-class power with exemplary efficiency and offer spontaneous responsiveness even at low engine speeds.

The two-litre four-cylinder petrol engine of the BMW X1 sDrive20i produces an output of 192 hp and maximum torque of 280 Nm at 1,350 – 4,600 rpm. The car accelerates from 0 -100 km/hr in 7.7 seconds.

BMW BluePerformance Technology in the BMW X1 diesel engine reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) to 25 mg/km and particulate matter to almost 0 mg/km.
