(continued on next post)
(...continued from the previous post)
-WCFWhen the X1 is launched later this fall, base models will include the fuel-efficient xDrive18i and xDrive18d. Further up the pecking order is the 177hp (130kW) xDrive20d which sprints from 0-60 mph in 8.4 seconds while consuming 5.8 liters of diesel per 100km. A slightly more powerful xDrive23d will also be offered, it features 204hp (150kW) which enables it to run from 0-60 mph in 7.3 seconds before topping out at 223 km/h (139 mph). The final model is the petrol powered xDrive28i which boasts a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph).
Although all the launch models will feature xDrive (all-wheel drive), it is widely expected the X1 will be offered with sDrive (rear-wheel drive) shortly after production begins.
Look for the X1 to be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
it has the lines of the current 1-series hatchback.
But does it have a market segment? There is already the X3, X5, X6 from BMW.
diba ang pricing range dito sa atin ng BMW is based on its model? (most of it)
example:
3 series is around 3M..edi ang X1 is 1m lang hehehehe ayus..(wishful thinking)
Pointless. Where does this fit into the range? The X5 competes with the Mercedes MLs and Range Rover Sports of this world, the X3 with the Lexus RX, Audi Q5, Volvo XC60, Land Rover Freelander II and Mercedes GLK? So is this meant to compete with VW Tiguans, Toyota Rav4s etc?
But i have to admit, looks better than the X3. But thats not saying much.
