SAV (Sport Activity Vehicle) The smallest BMW get a lot of significant changes, outside and inside. The second generation of the BMW X1 take positive values of first-generation X1 later developed into something new, one of which is the use of a new engine and a displacement of the drive shaft of the rear wheels to the front wheels. The changes are believed to be more attracted many markets in the premium compact SUV segment, especially in this year where the SUV is becoming a trend globally and locally.
The most significant change from his outward appearance is the added dimension of the new X1 roof height on a number of 53 mm. Overall shape of the X1 looks tougher and more leads to a crossover than its predecessor. The performance is supported by the wheels that have been using light alloy wheels measuring 18 inches.
Face shape adopts modern design and the BMW kidney grille iconic Xline variant uses aluminum, as well as other accents, including chrome plated window frame. While at the stern, dual exhaust design reinforces the sporty character.
Changes would affect cabin space dimensions, so that the new X1 offers practicality largest cabin space in its class. The sitting position increased by 64mm and 36mm in the back row in front, which makes better visibility and support SAV driving. In addition, although the sitting position increases, the new X1 interior still offers leg and head room is very roomy, and applies to the first line and the second line.
Cockpit design also offers a new look more elegant and using quality materials throughout the cabin. Infotainment sector no doubt, with a 6.5-inch touch-screen center that has been crammed with the BMW Navigation System and luxurious audio system from Harman Kardon with seven speakers, power 205W.
The new mechanical heart using a similar platform with the Mini and 2-series Active Tourer, with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, 3-cylinder that generates maximum power of 136 hp at 4400 rpm and 220 Nm of torque available at 1,200 rpm rotation. As a distributor of energy have been installed Steptronic 6-speed transmission that deliver output to the front axle.
Acceleration is fairly responsive and immediately available when you request it. BMW claims the new X1 0-100 kph acceleration can be reached in just 9.7 seconds, while top speed stands at 200 kph.Driving with the X1 feels easy and fun, thanks to the higher seating position and a more muscular bonnet, you get good visibility and can easily know the front end of the X1. Swivel wheel with a very light weight indeed support ease, but it feels too light so that feedback sometimes less precise and speed-sensitive Servotronic system on the steering feels too take over. However, such systems are presented for parking maneuvers and displacement on a better path with steering that is agile, even when the speed is high.
The use of front-wheel drive also supports weight reduction and agility in maneuvering in the street. The new BMW X1 feels agile and nimble, something that is sought after by consumers when buying a compact SUV or crossover. Overall control is fairly pleasant, but not the best in its class. It could be argued that offered more balanced handling without sponsor certain aspects.
The new BMW X1 is also equipped with special chassis, using single-joint strut suspension in front and multi-link axle at the rear. Bantingannya feels comfortable and without compromise, both when passing the road less friendly and when invited to run fast and turn at medium speed.
Overall, the latest BMW X1 offers a driving and control that will satisfy consumers when looking for a compact SUV for urban driving, especially with the provision of a more spacious cabin space will be a positive point for the Indonesian people who prefer the interior with more space. However, a new character offered by the BMW X1 is not what you expect when oriented to the older generation of BMW, or crave the aggressive character of the BMW before. This is a more modern BMW X1.
