"I have a car" original market guide: In the luxury compact SUV level, the market position of BMW Brilliance X1 can be said to be unmatched, and its sales have long been ranked first in the same level, like last year, it has sold 93,900 new cars, while its main competitors Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA are only 81,000 and 33,100 vehicles, respectively, the gap is still relatively obvious.
The reason why BMW Brilliance X1 can continue to achieve hot sales, the focus is inseparable from its 2780mm over-the-flight wheelbase, and the advantage of large riding space has won the favor of consumers. In addition, considering that the car has been in service for a long time, coinciding with the approaching replacement node this year, and now there are many terminal discounts, then which one is the most cost-effective to buy the car now?

Recently, "I Have a Car" visited the BMW 4S store in our region (BJ) and learned that the 2022 BMW Brilliance X1 currently on sale is 75,000 yuan, and there is more room for bargaining in the store. Car purchase conditions need to be Beijing brand indicators, in-store insurance four main insurance (car damage, theft, three and no deductible) can enjoy this discount, comprehensive service fee of 3000, but need to install 9800 yuan decoration.
▲ The new generation X1 is coming this year!
After the mid-term redesign of BMW Brilliance X1 in 2019, the new model was replaced by the latest design language of the family, in which the double kidney grille was further extended, and the round hole fog lamp design was cancelled, replaced by a sharper wind duct decoration, coupled with a more angular headlight design, the diameter of the exhaust tail throat of the bilateral double was extended to 90mm, etc., it is not difficult to see that the vehicle has become more athletic to meet the aesthetic needs of young users.
A few days ago, the network has been exposed in advance a set of a new generation of BMW Brilliance X1 test spy photos, from the picture can be seen that the new car compared to the current model of the double kidney grille size is larger, the two sides of the LED light group up, and LED daytime driving is expected to change to an inverted C-shaped design, and the overseas version of the 1 series has similarities.
Looking at the past from the rear of the car, it is regrettable that the new car is still highly camouflaged, and the tail light group style is not known, but the biggest change in the new car is the addition of a new hidden door handle style; in addition, the rear surround design style of the car is quite wide, which can ensure that it has obtained a more powerful aura, and the home comfort seems to have become stronger.
At the same time, BMW Brilliance has previously determined that it will put into production a pure electric version of the X1 on the next generation of models, the naming method may most likely be "iX1", there is news on the Network that the total annual planned production capacity of the battery box of the new generation X1 pure electric version is 22,000 pieces, and the planned production capacity of this new car is 22,000 units.
Last year, the pure electric version of the new generation X1 has been tested overseas, the new car will use single motor and dual motor two versions, of which the dual motor version is equipped with an electric four-wheel drive system, with a new battery pack, the car has a battery life or not less than 500 kilometers, the main future of competitors are basically locked in Mercedes-Benz EQB and Tesla Model Y and other models.
In addition, BMW also announced the news that the BMW Group has announced that there will be local models produced in Shenyang, and is launching a production project code-named U28 model. According to previous foreign media reports, the new MINI COUNTRYMAN will launch a pure electric version of the model in 2023, considering that the car and X1 are shared platform products, and the new X1 has been determined to launch an electric version of the model iX1, so it is basically certain that the pure electric version of the MINI COUNTRYMAN will also be domestically produced.
The current BMW X1 car still maintains the cockpit design with the driver as the core, of which the floating central control screen is indispensable, the 10.25-inch screen is the standard of the whole series, and the whole series supports CarPlay and CarLife mapping functions. However, it should be noted that the xDrive25Li premium model that began in 2022 has a price reduction of 6,000 yuan compared with the 2021 top-end version model, but since January this year, the entire series of current X1 no longer provides Harman/Kardon sound systems.
The new generation of BMW X1 for the interior of the adjustment is relatively large, from the previously revealed spy photos can be seen, the new car uses the popular dual screen design, while the center console reduces a large number of physical buttons, the entire interior and the new BMW Brilliance i3 just listed is very similar.
Of course, BMW X1 is not without controversy, the most prominent point is that it uses a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, the maximum power of 140 horsepower (103 kW), the maximum torque of 220 Nm, the performance is not very prominent, in combination with the matching of 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, it is not difficult to see that this power combination is mainly to meet the needs of fuel consumption limitations.
In addition, the BMW X1 further matches a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission on the 2.0T two-wheel drive version to enhance fuel saving performance. As for performance, this 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 192 horsepower (141 kW), a maximum torque of 280 Nm, and a maximum acceleration of 8.2 seconds per 100 kilometers, and another four-wheel drive version matches the 8AT transmission, supplemented by the previous McPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension, the overall dynamic performance is believed not to disappoint.
At present, the official has not announced more information about the new generation of BMW X1, but from the perspective of the overseas version, the future domestic X1 is expected to continue to provide fuel and plug-in hybrid system, and will also add a new pure electric version, of which the fuel version may also be equipped with a new 48V light mix system to provide better fuel economy.
▲ Bmw Brilliance X1 in the eyes of old owners
BMW X1 owners are most satisfied with the rear space of the vehicle is spacious enough, there is no problem with the legs of the erlang, and the 2.0T power is also quite confident, and the high-speed driving can maintain abundant power output, but the disadvantage brought by such a strong power is that the fuel consumption is high, and the actual fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is in the early 9 liters. As for the 1.5T power, it is a bit of a small horse-drawn car after all, plus the dual-clutch transmission is also prone to some frustration when starting, and the fuel consumption is not much lower than that of the 2.0T model, and the real fuel consumption is also around 8.8 liters.
▲ Model recommendation: 2022 sDrive25Li leading model
Take the sDrive20Li premium type compared with the sDrive20Li fashion type, the difference between the two is 19,000 yuan, the former is mainly more than the front parking radar, the Internet of Vehicles, the rear seat air outlet, temperature partition control, the overall improvement is actually not large, the comprehensive measurement is obviously the fashion type of the cost-effective is higher.
Then there is the comparison of the two models of 2.0T, sDrive25Li leading type and xDrive25Li premium type the difference of 24,000 yuan, the latter in addition to the 7-speed dual clutch to 8AT gearbox, but also more timely four-wheel drive system, 19-inch rim and steep slope slow down, although the improvement is quite good, but in fact, sDrive25Li can actually meet the purchase requirements of most users, so it is recommended that sDrive25Li leading type.
Of course, there is a point to be noted, the top version of xDrive25Li is not worth buying, first of all, this four-wheel drive model driving texture is very good, while coping with mild off-road environment can also be competent, but the premise is that you have a sufficient budget, and often long-distance travel, but before driving 2.0T in the city has been completely enough.
Finally, compare the sDrive20Li fashion type and sDrive25Li leading type, the difference between the two is 30,000 yuan, in addition to the latter upgrade to B48 2.0T engine, but also additional front radar, cruise control, induction trunk, front keyless entry, passenger seat electric adjustment, vehicle networking, automatic air conditioning, rear seat air outlet and temperature zone control, the overall upgrade is quite obvious, of course, four cylinders relative to the three-cylinder version to choose, presumably most people will choose the former.
