BMW has unveiled its new BMW X1. At launch in October 2022, there’ll initially be a selection of two gasoline and two diesel engines from the BMW Group’s new modular technology of Environment friendly Dynamics engines. These will hyperlink up with a seven-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch as normal, and their drive energy shall be channelled to the street by way of both the entrance wheels or the BMW xDrive clever all-wheel-drive system, relying on the mannequin.
This beginning quartet will instantly be adopted by the all-electric BMW iX1 xDrive30 (electrical energy consumption, mixed within the WLTP cycle: 18.4 – 17.3 kWh/100 km; estimates primarily based on the automotive’s present improvement stage) in addition to by a pair of plug-in hybrid fashions and one other two conventionally powered variants with 48V gentle hybrid expertise.
All-electric BMW iX1 xDrive30
The brand new BMW X1 shall be constructed at BMW Group Plant Regensburg, the place fashions with combustion engines, plug-in hybrid techniques and all-electric drive will all roll off a single meeting line for the primary time.
The BMW iX1 xDrive30 is the primary all-wheel-drive electrical automotive launched by the model within the premium compact phase. Two extremely built-in drive items on the entrance and rear axles ship a mixed output of 230 kW/313 hp (taking the momentary increase impact under consideration), and put up general torque of 494 N·m (364 lb-ft). The electrical all-wheel-drive system ensures supreme traction and directional stability in all conditions. The BMW iX1 xDrive30 completes the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) dash in 5.7 seconds.
BMW iX1 – Gen5 BEV Expertise
The fifth-generation BMW eDrive expertise moreover contains the automotive’s extremely environment friendly charging expertise, together with the improved charging software program additionally discovered within the BMW i7, and a high-voltage battery positioned flat inside the automobile’s underbody. The excessive power density battery offers the automotive a spread of 413 – 438 kilometers (257 – 272 miles). (The figures regarding output, efficiency, power consumption and vary for the BMW iX1 xDrive30 are predicted values primarily based on the automotive’s present stage of improvement.)
Plug-in hybrid fashions with elevated electrical vary, gasoline and diesel engines with 48V gentle hybrid expertise. Fifth-generation BMW eDrive expertise can be employed within the plug-in hybrid variants of the brand new BMW X1, which suggests vital advances over the previous technology when it comes to sporting prowess, effectivity and charging capability. There has additionally been a rise in electrical vary.
Second-generation 48V gentle hybrid expertise with an electrical motor built-in into the seven-speed Steptronic transmission is available to assist increase each effectivity and energy supply within the two strongest engines.
This allows the four-cylinder BMW X1 xDrive23i (gas consumption mixed: 7.2 – 6.5 l/100 km [32.6 – 36.2 mpg US]; CO2 emissions mixed: 162 – 146 g/km in WLTP cycle) to provide most output of 160 kW/218 hp (developed by the mix of the combustion engine with as much as 150 kW/204 hp and the integral electrical motor with as much as 14 kW/19 hp).
Additionally within the launch line-up is the brand new BMW X1 sDrive18i (gas consumption mixed: 7.0 – 6.3 l/100 km [33.6 – 37.3 mpg US]; CO2 emissions mixed: 158 – 143 g/km in WLTP cycle) powered by a 100 kW/136 hp three-cylinder engine.
A four-cylinder diesel engine combines with gentle hybrid expertise within the new BMW X1 xDrive23d (gas consumption mixed: 5.4 – 4.8 l/ 100 km [43.5 – 49 mpg US]; CO2 emissions mixed:142 – 125 g/km in WLTP cycle) to ship most output of 155 kW/211 hp (developed by the mix of the combustion engine with as much as 145 kW/197 hp and the integral electrical motor with as much as 14 kW/19 hp). The four-cylinder diesel unit within the new BMW X1 sDrive18d (gas consumption mixed: 5.5 – 4.9 l/100 km [42.7 – 48 mpg US]; CO2 emissions mixed: 145 – 129 g/km in WLTP cycle) generates 110 kW/150 hp.
Close to-actuator wheel slip limitation is fitted as normal within the new BMW X1, benefiting each traction and directional stability. Different new options embrace the built-in braking system and the additional, lift-related damping on the entrance axle. The optionally available adaptive M suspension options frequency-selective damping, sport steering and a 15-millimeter drop in experience peak.
Techniques for automated driving and parking. The technological advances made within the new BMW X1 in contrast with the outgoing mannequin are additionally evident within the far better number of automated driving and parking techniques obtainable to make use of. Customary options embrace Cruise Management with brake operate and the front-collision warning system, which is now additionally able to detecting oncoming visitors when turning left (in international locations the place autos drive on the proper) and pedestrians and cyclists when turning proper. The Parking Assistant together with Reversing Help Digital camera and Reversing Assistant additionally types a part of the usual tools roster.
The checklist of optionally available options, in the meantime, contains the Steering and Lane Management Assistant, Energetic Cruise Management with Cease&Go operate, Energetic Navigation, exit warning operate and BMW Head-Up Show, in addition to the Encompass View, Distant 3D View, BMW Drive Recorder and Distant Theft Recorder capabilities. Present capabilities might be upgraded by the use of the Distant Software program Upgrades facility, which additionally makes it attainable so as to add new capabilities (availability depends upon the {hardware} fitted within the automobile and the market circumstances).
