A few days ago, as the entry-level version of the BMW brand under the BMW brand among the three giants of luxury BBA, the BMW 1 series road test spy photo was exposed by a number of foreign media. In the spy photos exposed this time, the new BMW 1 shows the shape of a hatchback. The BMW 1 Series hatchback model is not very popular in the domestic market and has withdrawn from the domestic market, but in overseas markets, the BMW 1 Series is still loved by consumers. It is reported that the new hatchback version of the BMW 1 Series will be greatly upgraded and modified in terms of appearance, interior and configuration, and the new car will also provide the option of plug-in hybrid. The new car is expected to be officially unveiled next year.
Although the new car is wrapped in thick camouflage in the exposed spy photos, the appearance of the new BMW 1 Series can still be seen under the thick camouflage. Many media said that the new BMW 1 series currently exposed is called "F70" within the BMW Group, and the code name of the current model on sale is "F40", which means that the previously exposed model may be a new replacement product, and this test car may only be a medium-term revamped model, about this, please wait and see.

In addition, at the front of the car, the overall wide body of the new car has been enlarged, making this car look quite like the BMW 2 Series. At the rear of the car, the taillights and rear bumper shape of the new car have also been adjusted and upgraded, and the appearance of the whole car is more stretched and smooth than that of the current BMW 1 Series, which looks very comfortable and conforms to the aesthetics of the contemporary public.
In terms of power, many foreign media predict that the new hatchback version of the BMW 1 series will provide two turbocharged engines of 1.5T and 2.0T. Both configurations will also meet the needs of more consumers, and with the rapid development of the electrification process, the new car should also provide 48V light hybrid power. Many foreign media have exposed that the new car will launch a model equipped with plug-in hybrid power in the future, and its power will also be greatly enhanced. The power of the light hybrid model will also be greatly improved in the sense of sport, including 100 km acceleration and fuel saving.
