BMW is launching the third generation of its entry-level SUV range, the X1. Now the design is more robust, the habitability is greater and it goes up a level in terms of digitization and security. Of course, the comfort and dynamism that have always characterized this model accompanies it in this new generation. It is highly manoeuvrable and manoeuvrable on the daily commute, and comfortable and enveloping on long journeys.

Between the
most distinguishing features are the almost square contours of the wheel arches and the design of the front and rear. The front of the new BMW X1 is much more vertical, with slim LED headlights, a large grille with near-square BMW kidneys, X-shaped lines that flow to the sides and a striking chrome trim on the lower air intake, finishing off the look. . Seen from behind, the narrow tailgate window, horizontal lines, distinctive LED taillights and flared wheel arches give it a typical SAV look.

During the dynamic test, the car showed
all its capabilities and efficiency -the smallest petrol engine does not achieve more than 5 l/100 km average consumption- as well as its ‘premium’ character. Something latent in the X1.
