Following the exposure of overseas spy photos two years ago, the new generation of BMW X1 appeared on domestic roads for the first time. Although the current BMW X1 in the overseas market has not been officially replaced, considering the appearance of domestic real car spy photos, the localization process of BMW's new generation X1 may be in sync with the overseas market.
Although whether it is the spy photos exposed overseas or the new generation of BMW X1 that appeared on the domestic road a few days ago, they are all armed with camouflage packages, but in general, the difference between it and the current X1 can be seen from the outline. For example, the front face grille is further enlarged, it seems to be more aggressive, the area of the movement surround is also larger, the new wheel hub style is more dynamic, and the newly designed light group at the rear not only has a lateral extension similar to the current X3, but also synchronizes the hidden design of the two sides of the exhaust and other previous generations of the brand, and the overall refinement has been significantly improved.
If the change in appearance is mainly around the upgrade of the design elements of the new generation of the family, the interior is the biggest highlight of the new generation of BMW X1, with the information currently understood, it is likely to be equipped with the same rectangular dual screen layout as the BMW iX, and at the same time adopt a new button shift, abandoning the classic traditional gear, and the overall visual effect is simple and sci-fi.
At present, BMW X1 is the top size model in the class of luxury compact SUV, the interior space of the thick road has always been a key factor in the X1 to attract consumers, and the new generation of BMW X1 is reported to be further expanded in body size.
In terms of power, the new generation of BMW X1 after domestic production will not synchronize with overseas 35i models, or will be equipped with 1.5T three-cylinder and 2.0T four-cylinder engines, but the new car may add 48V light mix system, and match the 7DCT and 8AT two gearbox options.
As the benchmark model for luxury compact SUV, the product strength and upgrade changes of the new BMW X1 are very important to the overall market. As for whether the future new car can continue the glory of sales in China, under the pressure of more and more new energy competitors, find their own market rhythm, let us wait and see.
