Bmw x1 technical specifications ground clearance. The youngest of the BMW crossovers - X1

The famous German automaker released new bmw X1 2016-2017 model year. The international presentation of the crossover will take place at the Frankfurt Motor Show in autumn 2015. Representatives of the company report that the start of sales of the new BMW X1 in Europe will take place in October this year.

But new bmw X1 2 in Russia will be available only towards the end of this or early next year. According to preliminary data, BMW price X1 2nd generation in the European market will reach 28 thousand euros. The assembly of the SUV will be carried out at a car factory in Regensburg (Germany).

The new BMW X1 2016-2017 with the F48 body index received a new UKL platform with front axle drive. Recall that the predecessor was built on the chassis of the BMW 3-Series Touring. But the novelty is based on the platform that was used to develop the BMW 2-Series Active Tourer. Built on the same trolley a new version mini. True, the manufacturer has not abandoned the all-wheel drive version of xDrive, which will also be sold.

Appearance, dimensions and ground clearance

The use of a different platform has resulted in the length and wheelbase The second-generation BMW X1 has shrunk. At the same time, the height and width were increased. This is how they look dimensions BMW X1 2016-2017:

• length - 4 439 mm;
• width - 1,821 mm;
• height - 1,598 mm;
• wheelbase - 2,670 mm.

The ground clearance of the new BMW X1 2016-2017 model year is 183 mm.

The upgraded crossover fits perfectly into the line of off-road models of the company. Recall that in addition to the car X1, it also presents the BMW X3, X4, X5 and X6 models. In front, the new BMW X1 (F48) received a massive false radiator grille, a large bumper with a large air intake, and round fog optics. The headlights, which received LED DRLs in the form of rings, also look beautiful (fully LED optics are optionally offered).

The car can be equipped rims diameter from 17 to 19 inches. A fairly large optics with LED filling is installed at the back. The bumper in the rear of the body was also made quite massive, which gives the appearance of the car additional solidity. The company offers 12 different body colors for the new BMW X1, 10 of which have received a metallic effect.

Interior decoration and equipment

Although the length of the crossover body has decreased, it has become more comfortable inside. The front seats are placed at a higher height (+36 mm), and in the back row a similar increase was as much as 64 millimeters, compared with the previous generation model.

It is also reported that the amount of legroom rear passengers increased by 37 mm. If you order a more expensive second row (for a surcharge), this figure can reach 66 mm, since this sofa can move in the longitudinal direction by 130 mm. The trunk volume of the BMW X1 in the normal position of the backrests of the second row is 505 liters, but if you fold them, the figure increases to 1,550 liters. For a surcharge, the Germans offer an electric drive for the fifth door. You can also order a similar system for folding the rear backrests.

Talking about the quality of the materials used in interior decoration is simply pointless. The designers also did a great job. The ergonomics of the driver's seat and the thoughtful execution of even the smallest details of the finish are impressive. Everything here reminds that the BMW X1 is a premium crossover.

The interior equipment is quite rich. So already in the initial configuration of the new BMW X1 2016-2017, air conditioning, a rain sensor, a proprietary iDrive system with a 6.5-inch display, and fabric upholstery are available. For a surcharge, the manufacturer offers an 8.8-inch multimedia system display, climate control with zone division, power front seats, a rearview camera, genuine leather upholstery, a projection screen, rear parking sensors, a parking assistant, adaptive cruise control and many other interesting systems.

Engines, suspension and fuel consumption of the BMW X1

Technical BMW characteristics X1 2016-2017 model years suggest the use of front wheel drive. A modification with a connected drive on both axles is also available (an electro-hydraulic multi-plate clutch is used, which, if necessary, transfers up to 100% of torque to the rear axle).

A MacPherson strut suspension is installed at the front of the car, and a multi-link with shock absorbers and springs located separately works at the rear. The developers decided to equip the car with steel and aluminum suspension arms.

It is noteworthy that the use of a front-wheel drive chassis did not prevent German specialists from achieving optimal weight distribution between the front and rear axles, this ratio is 50:50. Also, engineers inform about the excellent body rigidity and low center of gravity of the 2nd generation BMW X1.

The new BMW X1 will be available with a couple of petrol and three diesel engines right after it hits the market. All of them have four cylinders, and their working volume is 2.0 liters. These powertrains are combined with a 6-speed "handle" and an 8-band automatic transmission Steptronic.

Petrol modifications of the BMW X1:

• sDrive20i - 192 "horses", 280 Nm of torque, acceleration to hundreds lasts 7.7 seconds, and fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 5.9 liters per hundred;
• xDrive20i - 192 forces and 280 Nm of thrust, acceleration to 100 km / h is 7.4 seconds, fuel consumption is approximately 6.4 liters;
• xDrive25i - 231 hp, maximum traction of 350 Nm, acceleration from standstill to hundreds - 6.5 seconds, and gasoline consumption - at least 6.5 liters in the combined cycle.

Diesel BMW X1 2016-2017:

• sDrive18d - 150 "horses", 330 Nm of thrust, acceleration to hundreds in 9.2 seconds, declared fuel consumption - 4.1 liters per hundred;
• xDrive20d - 190 horsepower and 400 Nm of peak torque, acceleration to 100 km / h - 7.6 seconds, and consumption - from 4.6 liters in the combined cycle;
• xDrive25d - 231 power and 450 Nm of thrust, accelerates to the first hundred in 6.6 seconds, consumes about 5.2 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers.

Over time, the company will also offer modifications with diesel and gasoline power units of 1.5 liters with three cylinders. The power of the gasoline BMW X1 sDrive16d will be 116 forces, but the diesel BMW X1 sDrive18i will develop 136 “horses”. Both engines will be combined with a 6-speed "mechanics" and automatic transmission Steptronic.

The updated BMW X1 was officially declassified on April 28, 2019. Its sales in the countries of the old world will start in the middle of summer, and before domestic official dealers, the car will reach only by autumn. The model is the first restyling of the second generation, which debuted in 2015. It is worth noting that the manufacturer approached the modernization quite comprehensively. The car received a new gearbox, an updated interior, an increased list of additional equipment and a redesigned appearance. Like other models, X1 received a design in the current version of the corporate identity. The enlarged and almost fused "nostrils" of the false radiator grille are striking. Changed their design headlights. They received larger focusing lenses and angular LED daylight sections. running lights. The front bumper has also changed. Round blocks disappeared from it fog lights. Instead, you can see small LED sections located much lower.

Dimensions

BMW X1 is a compact five-seater premium crossover. After restyling, it measures 4447 mm long, 1598 mm high, 1821 mm wide and 2670 mm between wheelsets. Ground clearance is not very high, especially compared to competitors in the class. In curb condition, only 183 millimeters remain between the bottom and the roadway. Starting from the second generation, the X1 is produced on the UKL front-wheel drive platform, implying atypical, for German manufacturer, front transverse arrangement of the front unit. The suspension layout also became more common. There are McPherson struts on the front axle, and a multi-link architecture at the rear. Double-acting shock absorbers and coil springs are installed in a circle.

The size of the trunk is impressive. With the backs of the second row of seats raised and loaded under the rear shelf, the car is able to provide up to 505 liters. If you donate the rear seats and fold the backs, you can get up to 1550 liters.

Specifications

At the start of sales, the manufacturer officially announced only a few power units. Base versions of the BMW X1 will get a 1.5-liter diesel unit with three cylinders. It develops 116 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque. If before restyling it was equipped with only six-speed mechanics, then from now on, for an additional fee, it is offered a seven-speed preselective robot with two clutches.

It seems that BMW’s crossovers turn out the smaller the better: the X3 model behaves more noblely than the X5, and the X1 we just tested even surpasses it in some ways ... all-wheel drive price - such are the rules there.

However, the workers of the jet and rags did not rank the BMW X1 as "jeeps" - it looks exclusively passenger. "Not fair!" - I shouted in an undertone, driving out into the street. In fact, this is a real, honest crossover.

TOTAL SCAM
I’ll tell you a shameful secret: we rarely check the ground clearance declared by the manufacturer ourselves. Firms in this area cannot lie quite brazenly, but crawl under the crankcase rear axle to find an insignificant difference between life and paper is pointless - it can always be attributed to an error. However, the X1 has an official clearance that is defiant - 195 mm, like in adults. At first glance, it's kind of hard to believe. In addition, in this case it is not difficult to measure it, because it is the same under the entire bottom. And what? It turned out to be about 180 mm - also not bad for a car without special off-road ambitions. However, so without ambition? Yes, the front overhang of the "ha-first" is too big, but in addition to quite decent ground clearance and flat, like an athlete's belly, the underbelly of the BMW X1 also has a well-tuned permanent all-wheel drive. On the ground, it allows vigorous slipping, but does not allow digging.

FUCKING LUCKY?
In practice, the off-road part of the test looked like this: we plowed an abandoned quarry, sometimes hanging on sandy ridges, but each time sliding off them without assistance. The cross-country motorcyclists who were at the same time stopped training and looked at us like we were lucky idiots. In fact, from the outside it was hardly possible to understand why this BMW frolics so impudently off the asphalt. For us, the most interesting moment was the hanging rear wheel. Realizing that with the front axle steeply lowered and the stern freely floating in the air, the crossover was unlikely to be able to climb back in reverse, I was preparing for a dizzying descent. But still I tried to give reverse- and was amazed. It was worth taking your foot off the brake pedal, and the “German” climbed the mountain herself. True, after all our adventures, the lower part of the bumper was full of sand, but there is nothing wrong with that. Now, if we were climbing on hard ground or stones, we would have to look both ways.

Strictly speaking, the petrol V6 has only one plus - the Cherokee is quieter with it.

RELEASE THE DRIVE, DRIVER
Of course, the Bavarians are traditionally strong on asphalt. But last generation The X5, as well as the newfangled X6 (the “dream car” according to numerous, but mostly Runet users who never drove it), have an unpleasant feature. I'm talking about the manner to convey all the rut, all the bumps on wheel. It is understood that such a sharpening - back side manageability. But I still remember the old BMWs, which have a sensitive steering for some reason, it did not overload the driver with unnecessary information. So, X1 is just made in the good old traditions. It is moderately sharp, but does not remind of the song with the words "Hold on tight to the steering wheel, driver!". But the suspension - yes, it is typically Bavarian.

ROAD OF SMALL CRACKS
All the small bumps, all the cracks were ours, as if they forgot to put springs in the suspension. On forbidden SDA speeds in the region of 160-180 kilometers per hour, it became clear that the seemingly even track consists entirely of small cracks. But on the other hand, the car passes through large irregularities nobly. So much so that there is a temptation not to slow down on speed bumps at all. Probably, for Europe, such settings are ideal. And with us - well, we can get used to it in a couple of days. In general, the handling is delicious, with a rear-wheel drive accent. It is even better than the BMW X3 - of course, the center of gravity is lower. Of course, if you drive on a sports track - and we did this too - it feels like the computer is forcibly dragging the car onto an ideal trajectory. A driver who thinks he is a pro will be annoyed. Electronic system stabilization is very advanced and each time stifles the driver's ardor in a new way, taking into account the nuances of the situation. Well, you can turn it off. But note that it works adequately and in real life it will surely save at least more than one body. Especially when you consider that on the version we tested, the engine was powerful, shamelessly provoking aggressive driving.

The cup holder rests on the passenger's knee, but it (the cup holder) can be removed and thrown back

ALWAYS READY
The diesel engine on the BMW X1 23d is fantastic. Its working volume, despite the nameplate, is only 1995 cm3, but the Bavarians managed to remove 204 “horses” and 400 Nm of torque from them. Moreover, the peak value of thrust falls at 2000 rpm - just in the mode in which the motor works when driving most of the time. That is, the maximum of Newton meters is always under the foot. Very comfortable, especially in the city. Is it possible to criticize 23d? Please: on Idling You can hear that under the hood is a diesel engine. Some more modest brands have already learned how to make quieter compression ignition engines. It is a pity that they are far from the "Bavarians" in terms of performance. And in general - I personally like the voice of a diesel engine. I also really liked that the average fuel consumption, according to our measurements, did not go beyond 7.5 liters per hundred. This, by the way, takes into account the speeds on the track, racing on the track, traffic jams and off-road.

It's sad, gentlemen, that such a wonderful car does not have enough space in the back. In any case, if you sit behind a tall driver

Price: from 1,980,000 rubles.

Much attention is attracted by head optics - the well-known angel eyes. There were also air intakes with chrome trim on top. Optics can be fully LED, but only for an additional fee.

Looking at the model in profile, you can see fairly wide doors, large arches in which there are 17th discs, but larger ones can also fit in. The car in profile looks really like a premium model, the dimensions spoil everything. The rear part is equipped with optional LED optics, stylish bumper lines and a convenient tailgate.
