Each
variant has distinguished exterior and interior design features that lend an
individual personality to the car. SportX reflects the perfect combination of
sporty and ‘X’ elements. xLine puts on a powerful character enhancing the car’s
off-road looks. M Sport bestows a masculine character distinguishing itself as
an elite sports model.
A
novel introduction in the segment is a 5 years / 60,000 kilometres service and
warranty package for the new BMW X1. The vehicle now comes with three new
exterior colours – Storm Bay, Misano Blue and Sunset Orange.
The
sharper design of the new BMW X1 strengthens its authentic and powerful SAV
character. With commanding proportions, high seating position and good road
visibility, it has greater road presence than ever before.
The
exterior embodies a muscular and dominant character with precisely drawn lines
and strikingly contoured surfaces. The front has an imposing appearance with
larger BMW grille and air intakes as well as striking new LED headlights with
LED foglamps. The athletic side view is complemented by a dynamic wedge shape
formed by the roofline, eye-catching character lines and window surfaces that
taper towards the rear. The rear design underscores the car’s width and sporty
stance with wrap-around LED rear lights, inlays in body color and bigger twin
exhaust tailpipes.
The
new BMW X1 has generous proportions, comfort and a feeling of spaciousness on
the inside, thanks to an intelligent vehicle structure and smartly conceived
interior configuration. Entry into the new BMW X1 is rather stylish with a
welcome greeting ‘X1’ projected onto the ground from the side mirrors. Ample
room for all occupants, along with horizontal surface design, create an
ambience typical of a sports activity vehicle.
Filling
up the cabin with a sense of spaciousness and light is the large Panorama Glass
Roof. Ambient Lighting with six dimmable designs creates an atmosphere for
every mood. The micro-activated carbon particulate filter ensures clean and
fresh air inside the cabin. Comfortable seating is an important consideration
for long journeys and traffic jams and the new BMW X1 offers electrical seat
adjustment for both driver (with memory function) and passenger. M Sport offers
Sport Seats for driver and front passenger. The rear seat backrest can be
reclined for added comfort. Folding down the 40:20:40 split backrest increases
boot capacity from 500 litres to 1,550 litres, making the versatility of new
BMW X1 suitable for all kinds of journeys.
