Interior: High-Quality Materials, Sophisticated Colors
The modifications to the design of the new BMW X1 interior create an even more
vivid showcase of the sporty driving pleasure, cutting-edge versatility and
premium feel this vehicle provides. The side of the center console angled
towards the driver is now shallower, spotlighting the driver-focused nature of
the cockpit design.
High-quality electroplated trim surrounding for the gearshift lever and center
console cupholders, a chrome strip for the headlight switch and chrome touches
for the side edging of the Control Display - when the optional navigation system
is specified - all add the finishing touches to the interior's premium feel.
Plus, the air vent surrounds are given a high-gloss black surface.
Choice of Two Turbocharged Petrol Engines
The variants of the BMW X1 offered in the US market will be powered by BMW
TwinPower Turbo gas engines. This package of technology consists of twin-scroll
turbocharging, High Precision Direct Petrol Injection, VALVETRONIC variable
valve timing and Double-Vanos variable camshaft control. In both the
award-winning 6-cylinder inline engine under the hood of the BMW X1 xDrive35i -
developing 300 hp - and the 240 hp 4-cylinder engine powering the BMW X1
sDrive28i and BMW X1 xDrive28i ensure instantaneous power delivery, impressive
acceleration and exceptional efficiency.
Both engines are paired with an automatic gearbox and extensive BMW
EfficientDynamics technology. Features including the Auto Start-Stop function
(28i only), Brake Energy Regeneration and demand-based operation of ancillary
units all help to achieve a blend of performance and fuel economy unique in the
market.
Drivetrain
The BMW X1 sDrive28i with customary BMW rear-wheel drive and the all-wheel-drive
xDrive35i will be offered exclusively in the US market. The intelligent
all-wheel drive of the BMW X1 xDrive35i and BMW X1 xDrive28i varies the
distribution of drive between the front and rear wheels, as required. This
electronically controlled power distribution ensures optimum traction and
unbeatable directional stability in all weather and road conditions, as well as
noticeably sportier responses through dynamically taken corners.
The BMW X1 sDrive28i, the X1 xDrive28i and the X1 xDrive35i will retail for
$31,545, $33,245 and $39,345 respectively (including $895 Destination and
