For many friends living in big cities, they will generally choose plug-in powered new energy models as a means of travel. Just yesterday experienced a BMW X1 PHEV, the following to talk to you about my experience, want to buy BMW X1 PHEV friends, this article may bring you help. The model of this experience is the 2021 xDrive30Le premium model, the guidance price is 399,800 yuan, as the only model on sale at this stage of BMW X1 PHEV, what kind of performance will it bring to us as a whole?
In terms of the front face, it is highly consistent with the regular version of the BMW X1. So much so that when I first got the test drive, I thought it was a fuel version of the BMW X1. Large size double kidney chrome grille, the interior of the vertical strip decoration design, giving people a sense of non-anger, on the aura, to be honest in the same level of the market, BMW X1 PHEV is still very dominant.
In terms of headlight configuration, as the flagship model of BMW X1 series, the LED light source of the far and near light headlights, LED daytime running lights and automatic headlights are not absent, which is worthy of its own price. And according to the individual driving at night, the lighting effect also has a good performance.
The slender side design gives this BMW X1 PHEV the aura of a mid-level SUV. And the sliding style of the roof line also ensures the overall sense of sportiness. The length, width and height are 4565 * 1821 * 1613mm, the wheelbase is 2780mm, it is clear that this size data is placed in the compact SUV camp, and there are not many models that can compare with the BMW X1 PHEV.
The three-dimensional rear layout, combined with the angular blackened style taillight combination, although the novelty is insufficient, it still meets the aesthetic vision of mainstream consumers. The lower part adopts a one-sided and single-out exhaust layout, which is the place where the boundaries can be most clearly seen with the BMW X1 fuel version.
In terms of interior, as a new energy model, the sense of science and technology is indeed somewhat unqualified. However, the praiseworthy thing is that the interior styling lacks highlights, but the control of the details and the use of materials have become their own plus points. The center console is wrapped in a large area of soft materials, and the piano paint panel is added, and the actual tactile performance is OK.
Maybe my expectations for the BMW X1 PHEV are too high, and the configuration performance does disappoint me a little. It is nothing more than the basic safety and practical configuration, the active safety configuration is missing, and the fixed speed cruise that should be standard according to the reasoning has to be completed by adding money to the option. Especially for friends who often run high speed, the BMW X1 PHEV is not equipped with fixed speed cruise, which has become a reason to give up for potential consumers.
In the space part of the ride, this BMW X1 PHEV is impeccable. The size of the level, even if the height of the 180cm experiencer sits in the back seat, the legs can still get more than 3 punches of space, coupled with the application of the panoramic sunroof, can bring a good riding environment to the rear passengers, the disadvantage is that the rear seat cushion is short, and the wrapping is not good enough, in the case of long-distance riding, the rear seat comfort performance is somewhat inferior, of course, not only this BMW X1 PHEV, in the BMW X1 fuel version also has this problem. The trunk volume is 445L, and if there is a need to pull goods, the rear seats can also be reclined to get more storage space.
In terms of hardware, the BMW X1 PHEV, which is built based on the UKL platform, adopts a powertrain composed of a 1.5T three-cylinder engine and a rear-mounted electric motor, with a maximum engine power of 100kW and a maximum torque of 220N·m, matching aisin's six-speed manual transmission. NeDC has a pure electric cruising range of 110 km and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.3L/100 km at NEDC. It is divided into three driving modes to choose from, which can also meet the requirements of different friends for power.
The suspension layout with front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension is actually opened thanks to the good suspension tuning, and both body support and shock absorption and filtration have reached the level that luxury brands should have. Coupled with the control of almost which to fight, it has to be said that in the entire camp of plug-and-mix power compact SUV, BMW X1 PHEV is still the leader in the control level.
On the whole, from the hands of the Ashkenazi luxury brand BMW, it has the inherent advantage of high popularity and recognition, coupled with the pure electric mileage of the BMW X1 PHEV with the same level of dominance, and the spatial performance and control that is stronger than other competitors, which are the selling points of the BMW X1 PHEV. Personally, I feel that for consumers whose budget is around 400,000 and want to buy a new energy SUV produced by luxury brands, starting with bmw X1 PHEV is a relatively safe choice.
