A few days ago, the 2022 BMW X1 was officially launched, and a total of 3 models were launched for the new car, with a price range of 279,800-33.38 million yuan. As an annual facelift, the new car has only been adjusted in some of its exterior details.
Learn about new cars in one minute:
1. The new X design set has been added to the entry model, which is more exquisite
2. It is still equipped with two engines: 1.5T three-cylinder and 2.0T four-cylinder engines
3. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch and 8-speed manual transmission, which is available in four-wheel drive
The new car has changed less in appearance, with the addition of an X design set for entry-level models, a larger double kidney grille area, and looks similar to the X3. Silver trim panels have been added to the front and rear bumpers and side skirts, and the details have added a lot of refinement.
The biggest changes on the sides were the addition of silver mirror covers and the upgrading of 18-inch Y-shaped aluminum alloy wheels to give the new car a sportier feel.
The interior has basically not changed, still using the design language of the BMW generation, but after most of the current models have been equipped with a new interior design, the interior of the BMW X1 is indeed a bit insufficient.
The new car is still equipped with two engines, 1.5T three-cylinder and 2.0T four-cylinder engines, of which the former has a maximum power of 103 kW and a peak torque of 220 N·m; the latter has a maximum power of 141 kW and a peak torque of 192 N·m. The drivetrain is mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and an 8-speed manual transmission, although the latter is only available on the 2.0T four-wheel drive model.
BMW X1 has been in the BBA entry-level SUV sales performance is very outstanding, three-cylinder model at the same time, but the best selling, the reason is its great discount, 2021 the lowest model naked car price is only in the early 200,000, which many want to start BBA users, the price is very attractive. And in terms of design, the appearance similar to X3 also adds a lot of face to users.
At present, the new car has just been listed, and the discount is naturally not as large as before, but I believe that it will not be too long, and the price will soon be the same as that of the 2021 model.
Why does BMW seem to take the entry-level SUV less seriously these days? Because in the future, BMW will focus on pure electric i series models, and just recently, BMW iX M60 models have also officially debuted, and its price is expected to exceed 1 million yuan.
The new car was officially unveiled at CES 2022, and is the M performance version of the BMW iX, the second pure electric model from the M performance division after the BMW i4 M50. At present, the xDrive50 model has been launched in China, priced at 846,900 yuan.
In terms of appearance, the iX M60 has been more blackened than the xDrive50, including details such as the front face, wheels, rearview mirrors, etc., and the aggressiveness of the front face and tail has become stronger, showing the unique temperament of high-performance models.
The interior design is consistent with the regular version of the iX, with a curved double screen design, a special-shaped multi-function steering wheel, an electronic gear lever and a crystal control knob, highlighting the minimalist design concept everywhere.
The most important part is the powertrain, which can be equipped with a maximum power of more than 455 kW (about 605 hp), a peak torque of 1100 N·m, and an acceleration of 0-100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.
You should know that this is a medium-sized SUV weighing more than 2.5 tons, which has increased the power performance of the xDrive50 model by more than one notch.
In terms of endurance, bmw iX M60 models can run 575 kilometers under WLTC conditions, which is not very good, but it is enough for a high-performance pure electric vehicle.
BMW X1 and iX M60 these two models can be said to represent two completely different directions, the former is a family transportation of fuel vehicles, in today's era of electrification, is definitely not a new product, but fundamentally solves the needs of most users.
The iX M60 is BMW's strongest work in the field of pure electric power, representing its determination to transform electrification, and also showing its strong performance in the field of pure electric high-performance vehicles!
