The BMW X-Small model will undergo a complete overhaul.
The BMW X1 was not the most popular model in the premium small crossover market in the United States with only 3,968 deliveries in the first quarter 2021. It is far behind other models like the AudiQ3 (8.575), Volvo XC40 (5.584) and Mercedes-Benz GLA (5.375). It’s no secret that the Bavarian firm is developing a new generation of the X1 to regain its market position. BMW Already confirmed that the model would arrive with both a combustion engine as well as a fully-electric drivetrain, and we now have spy photos to confirm the latter. These photos were taken by our friends as.

However, the final shape of the lights you see should be what you get. Any last-minute changes to the bodywork would also require modifications. The new X1 will look larger than the predecessor ( surprise?), and this prototype may hint at a longer-wheelbase version for China. The quarter glass shows that the camouflage conceals the vehicle’s actual size and shape. This could indicate that a longer crossover is in development.
It is also worth noting that the position for the handles on the doors will be below the white faux stickers. We also want to stress that the kidneys must be visible.
BMW’s smallest member of the X family will remain on a front-wheel drive platform, but more powerful and expensive versions will be available with an AWD system. The full range of gasoline and diesel powertrains is expected, with hybrid, fully electric, and hybrid versions planned for launch as soon as possible. BMW could reveal the new X1 by the end of this year, with sales starting several months later.
