As an entry-level BMW, the BMW 1 Series model is quite popular in the European market, and in the Chinese market, the BMW 1 Series is also regarded as the "first" BMW that is more suitable for young girls to drive. In the early years, the BMW 1 Series also used the rear-drive layout, and the driving experience was a proper small steel cannon, while the current BMW 1 Series used the front-drive platform, and the driving pleasure was not lost much.
According to a set of spy photos released by foreign media a few days ago, the BMW 1 Series has now entered the mid-term restructuring stage, and BMW has also begun the testing of the redesigned model. The entire body of the redesigned 1 series on the spy photo is covered in camouflage camouflage, making it difficult to see the specific design details of the new car, but according to the proportion of the body, the new car should not change much in the overall design style. But what can be seen is that bmw's iconic double kidney front grille position is somewhat down-regulated, the overall grille outline appears to be larger, and the expansion of the lower air intake is also more obvious, which brings a question, where is the license plate placed?
In addition, it can be seen that the unknown in the middle of the double kidney grille is also camouflaged, if not accidentally, this is the protection of the camera, that is, the new 1 series will introduce more intelligent driving assistance devices.
At present, there is no information about the interior of the new 1 series, but considering that the 2 series of transport travel released earlier uses curved screens, if the new 1 series does not change much in shape, the adjustment of the interior should be its "big killer", and the curved double screen can already compete with the Mercedes-Benz A-class at least in the aura.
If nothing else, the main powertrain of the redesigned 1 Series will still be a 3-cylinder 1.5T 140 hp engine, and the high-end will use a 4-cylinder 192 hp 2.0T engine, can you accept BMW's three-cylinder engine? It is expected that the revamped 1 series will be officially released in 2023, but it is not excluded that it will be released at the end of 2022 and sold in the name of the 2023 model.
