BMW X1 2012 Car News Review
Gossips say that the X1 painting psychedelic vortex of ultimate expression of the flame of Chris Bangle design philosophy surface marks, but that is not the case. The wilderness is printed on adhesive paper, thick hide to make a better job, uses the contours of a automobile, the black matte finish in the past. It was necessary to dress X1 prototype prototypes they drove.
Its shape, the X1 is more of a X2, X3, then the next (expected to grow in 2011) to a normal size. The X1 is innovative in terms of proportions: it is based on the current 3 Series, but it is bigger than the van, not as long as the sedan, larger than the coupe, and offers more space than a they. Plenty of thanks to the wider doors for entry and exit is pleasantly painless. A relatively little load space is operated by a folding rear seats and a power tailgate is optional fixed.
The X1 has been revised heckbetonte xDrive all-wheel-drive system has been recalibrated to handle the X1 with the same enthusiasm, skill and ambition as a compact sports coupe. The switch DTC must be bright red and marked PLAY: Turn off the stability control, and the X1 is a master of the grip and drift, the shape and placement, balance and separatists. Tip: hooligans in X3, and you finish up in the ditch, guaranteed.
Our check automobile, a xDrive28i X1, had the familiar 3.0-liter inline-six engine six-speed automatic. Dynamic, but it exceeded our expectations by 100 percent, ride and handling chuckable tough. There is so much fun as the DMV drive should examine proposed a kind of entertainment tax on it.
There will be no M version, but the X1 is not slow, according to BMW, 62 km / h in 6.7 seconds, top speed is 150 km / h., and the effectiveness of two has returned 28 mpg in combined cycle in Europe. Although the performance is similar to the 3-Series automobile, the X1 is much cheaper.
ALL-IN-ONE FUN: The X1 is a remarkably successful interpretation of the theme in this crossover SUV, the virtues of the chair and height clearance, extra automobile of assets such as fuel economy and carlike handling combined inspiration. The BMW offers a better package for all-wheel-drive 3-series, and even more fun to drive. Unfortunately, a style is acquired taste. Perhaps the psychedelic skin was not a bad idea.
