Featuring a new distinctive design and increased spaciousness, BMW says that the high level of electrification across the range as well as the latest in connectivity, means that the new X1 builds on the concept of a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV ) for the premium compact segment.
It adds that an expanded standard specification, increased interior spaciousness with a premium ambience, new BMW Operating System 8 and BMW Curved Display, and a large selection of automated driving and parking systems ensure the new BMW X1 stands out against its rivals.
In its third model generation, the BMW X1 offers fully electric driving for the first time. BMW claims that this new addition to a rapidly growing vehicle segment will complement the brand’s existing battery-electric models and make driving an all-electric BMW accessible to an even wider audience.
From launch, the new BMW X1 will be available with one petrol engine and two diesel engine options. A pair of plug-in hybrid models will join the range immediately after launch, as will the new BMW iX1 xDrive30, the Group’s first premium compact model based on a flexible vehicle architecture to feature an all-electric drive system. No pricing has been announced yet for BMW’s all-new iX1.
Offered in a choice of five models – Sport Premier, xLine Premier, xLine Premier Pro, M Sport Premier, and M Sport Premier Pro – the new X1 is available to order now, priced from €48,200, the recommended retail price for the X1 sDrive18d.
All BMW X1 models feature high-voltage batteries for the iX1 xDrive30. The German premium carmaker says that new X1 will see the BMW Group take another step towards its target of establishing the most sustainable supply chain within the automotive industry, with a focus on renewable energy during manufacturing processes and the increased use of secondary and renewable materials compared with its predecessor.
