2013 BMW X1 E84

Front view: even more details in the style of a BMW X model.

When viewed from the front, the powerful stance of the new BMW X1 on the road and its aura of quality are now accentuated with even greater intensity. The path of the car’s lines, which converge on the licence plate mount from either side of the BMW kidney grille, follows the V-shaped contours of the bonnet, forging downwards and outwards in the lower section of the bumper to create the sweeping “X” familiar from the BMW X models in higher vehicle segments. The new tripartite air intake is likewise a feature shared by all BMW X models.

The car’s striking lines go hand in hand with a detailed execution of the body’s surface styling, signalling a vivacious sporty character and lending the front apron a particularly premium appearance. The foglamps are now level with an extra crease line that forms a discreet scoop along the upper edge of the lights and continues into the side walls. The increased surface area painted in body colour similarly adds to the car’s elegance.

The new-design headlights afford a detailed view of the car’s advanced light technology. In the upper area, a chrome-coated accent strip now cuts across the top of the twin circular headlights, while an LED accent light – included as part of the optional xenon light package, complete with LED light rings for the daytime driving lights – ensures the classic BMW focused look.

Side view: characteristic proportions, new exterior mirrors.

The swage line that rises steadily to the rear of the car, a further character line extending the contours of the side glass graphic as it runs rearwards, and powerfully flared wheel arches allow the BMW X1 to project a very distinctive figure side-on. The pronounced side skirts are a signature feature of the BMW X models, while the side direction indicators are now integrated into the new-design exterior mirrors.

Rear view: focused emphasis on wide and powerful stance.

The premium feel of the new BMW X1 is also underlined at the rear by the new subdivision of apron, bumper and underguard, with the repositioned reflectors now also bordered by surfaces painted in body colour. As a result, the black plastic elements are slimmer, while the silver-coloured underguard has a more striking surface structure. Furthermore, the contours of the tail lights featuring LEDs now flow harmoniously into the line of the tailgate handle. A stronger emphasis on the horizontal lines renders the rear broader and sportier in appearance.

Interior: precise lines, high-quality materials, sophisticated colour scheme.

The modifications to the design of the new BMW X1 interior create an even more vivid showcase of the sporty driving pleasure, cutting-edge versatility and premium feel this car provides. The side of the centre console angled towards the driver is now shallower and boasts a particularly high-grade surface quality. This sharply highlights the driver-focused principle of the cockpit design. The panel for the sound and climate system controls now has a high-gloss black surface to match the air vent surround.

The new BMW X1 comes as standard with a storage compartment in the centre of the instrument panel. In vehicles featuring an optional navigation system, this houses the central Control Display for the iDrive operating system. Chrome accents on the side surrounds of the onboard monitor highlight this equipment feature. High-quality electroplated surrounds for the gearshift lever and the centre console cup holder as well as a chrome clip on the headlight switch add the finishing touches to the interior’s exclusive ambience.

Engines: wide choice, sporty power curve, outstanding efficiency.

The engine portfolio of the new BMW X1 comprises three petrol and five diesel engines, offering a wider choice than any competitor and making for hallmark BMW sporting performance. Moreover, their high levels of efficiency coupled with comprehensive BMW EfficientDynamics technology endows all models with a further optimised ratio of performance to fuel consumption that is exemplary in the respective competitive field.

The entry-level unit is the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW X1 sDrive18i featuring VALVETRONIC variable valve timing and variable camshaft control on both intake and exhaust side (double VANOS).

By means of an optional switch in the centre console control panel below the audio system, ECO PRO mode can now also be activated in the new BMW X1. This supports a relaxed and economy-optimised driving style through targeted adjustments to the accelerator mapping and the shift characteristics of the automatic transmission. Moreover, the output of electrically operated functions such as the seat heating, climate control system and exterior mirror heating are regulated to ensure highly efficient energy management. A special display informs the driver of the extra range gleaned through these measures.

BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive system: intelligent, fast and precise for enhanced driving pleasure.

Five of the eight engines available to the new BMW X1 can transfer their power to the road with the help of BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive. The top-of-the-range petrol and diesel engine respectively come with xDrive exclusively. An electronically controlled multi-plate clutch allows the system to transfer power variably to the front and rear wheels, thereby guaranteeing maximum traction, the highest possible safety, outstanding handling and optimal power development regardless of weather or road conditions.

By virtue of being integrated with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), the xDrive control system is able to analyse the driving situation with great precision. It can thus counteract any tendency towards oversteer or understeer by distributing power as required before the driver is even aware of the need. What’s more, the collaboration between xDrive and DSC enables the Hill Descent Control function (HDC) for safe passage down an incline at an automatically regulated speed.

State-of-the-art suspension technology for agile and safe handling.

The compelling agility of the new BMW X1 is complemented by superior and precisely controllable driving characteristics. Its high-end suspension technology and advanced stability systems strike an ideal balance between driving dynamics and ride comfort coupled with a high degree of active safety.

Both front axle variants are paired with a five-arm rear axle.

Also contributing to the precise handling of the new BMW X1 are its steering systems with hydraulic or electromechanical power assistance. On the rearwheel- drive variants, steering assistance is provided with great efficiency by an electric motor which is only activated if steering support is actually required or requested by the driver. The motor consumes no power during straightline driving or steady-state cornering. Servotronic speed-sensitive power assistance is optionally available on all models.

The powerful braking system, with maintains its capability even under extreme loads, is supported by the Dynamic Stability Control system (DSC) which comes as standard. This system incorporates, inter alia, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Cornering Brake Control (CBC) and Dynamic Brake Control (DBC). Further functions include Brake Assist, Fading Compensation and the Brake Drying function. The BMW X1 sDrive20i, BMW X1 xDrive20i, BMW X1 xDrive28i and BMW X1 xDrive25d additionally feature the Brake Standby function and Hill Start Assist.

As an option, the all-wheel-drive model variants can specify the Performance Control system for precisely controlled braking pulses along with torque compensation. This provides a corrective measure against the first signs of understeering on slippery surfaces or in particularly dynamic cornering.
