In 2012, in response to previous comments, BMW immediately released a preview version of its first predecessor (BMW Concept Active Tourer) . Two years later, the concept car became the BMW 2 Series Touring (2 Series Active Tourer) – the first predecessor of BMW’s 100-year history, and Non-rear drive production cars.
The protagonist of the dispute six or seven years ago has become more and more “existent and reasonable.” The 2 Series SUVs are flat, but the X1, the SUV model born from the BMW UKL front-drive platform, has established its position in the BMW brand with a 1/6 sales share in the Chinese market.
The BMW X2 was born in 2017, and the thirst for the Chinese market segment drove BMW Brilliance to make X2 in China this year. In the BMW product lineage, the even models are a young, stylized version represented by the coup style, and the odd models adhere to practicality and tradition. The localization of X2 means that the X1 of the mid-term change
In fact, domesticThe X1 is the first SUV with extended wheelbase among the Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi brands. BMW’s losses in the standard wheelbase 5 and 3 series were all found in the new generation of X1 domestically. But before the emergence of the new X2, X1 dragged the tail with the “L”, still have to take into account the younger look to attract entry consumers. For those young girls who really love to play with love, the “big space” and “wide back row” represented by “L” are really cool.
The X1 wheelbase has been extended by 110mm, and the wheelbase is (2.78m) and the captain (4.56m) has already stepped out of the “compact” category. Considering that the transverse engine reduces the vertical space occupation, the X1’s actual interior space is enough for the most greedy car owners.
Space is just the foundation of the experience, and an SUV that pleases home users needs more. But the X1 is, after all, the most introductory model of the BMW X family, and it is unlikely to arm the luxury technology for the rear passengers. So BMW used some clever, low-cost, improved but obvious features to create selling points. The X1 has a rare rear seat adjustment function (although it is manual but the bicycle is required), the seat cushion can be moved back and forth 130mm. The seat back has two levels of angle adjustment; the seat cushion is divided into 4:6 ratio two parts, and the seat back can be adjusted separately in 4:2:4.
So when you only have one passenger in the back row, you can adjust the other side of the rear seat to the front and the front row to take the items, while the other side of the rear passengers can still enjoy the maximum legroom. Since the X1 follows the BMW tradition using the run-flat tire (commonly known as explosion-proof tires) , a 100L extra storage space is formed under the trunk. There is no annoying partition in the middle of this storage area, and there is a height enough to put a backpack down vertically.
Flexible space layout has always been the traditional advantage of European hatchbacks and recreational vehicles. As SUVs gradually eroded the market of the former two, BMW also began to learn from the entry-level SUVs that are also used by home users.
Even in the highest configuration, there is no popular LCD instrument after the X1 is changed. The highest configuration is projected in the windshield (not independent glass). Span> full color head-up display system. In-vehicle interaction relies on a larger 10.25-inch touch screen, iDrive knob (no tablet) and natural speech recognition.
Due to the limitations of the underlying platform and cost of change, this generation of X1 in the middle of the life of the change did not make a drastic upgrade to the interactive system. The good news is not without, the new X1 not only supports wireless CarPlay screen, but also provides Baidu CarLife for Android users. The former makes it unnecessary for iPhone users to worry about not having a data cable, while the latter gives non-iPhone users a possibility.
In fact, the biggest change in the X1 car after the change, you need to ignite the vehicle to detect. The mechanical gear shifter, which has been disregarded, was finally replaced by BMW’s iconic electronic shift lever. On the ground floor, the base model replaced the original 6-speed automatic transmission with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 8-speed automatic with a four-wheel drive model. The transmission is used.
SUVs use relatively more fragile dual-clutch gearboxes, which are generally inevitable. However, for X1, this is not true. A pure urban SUV that clearly locates home commuting is a more fuel-efficient dual-clutch transmission. As for the only four-wheel drive model, the X1 xDrive 25Li, the 8-speed automatic transmission can withstand the high torque caused by the wheel lock, and the four-wheel drive system occasionally handles some simple non-paved road conditions.
The domestic version of the powertrain is still the three-cylinder 1.5T and B48 four-cylinder 2.0T codenamed B38. However, BMW said that the X1 has adopted the latest upgraded version of B38/B48 after the mid-term change. The power and torque peaks of the new engine have remained essentially the same as before the change, but the maximum torque has been rotated from the previous 1250 rpm(rpm), postponed to 1350rpm(three cylinders) or 1480rpm
