Less Disguise on New BMW X1 Leakage

American testing ground supplied new spy photos of BMW X1.

Front bumper sat for a portrait not for a long time as the driver thought it would be better to apply some camo when he saw that the car was being photographed.

New German crossover will most likely be dieted and carry a more expressive body design. Equipped with a 2WD, the next X1 will also achieve a longer wheelbase. It means that certain features will depend on marketing geography. Thus, the most likely candidates for a larger boot are Russia, the USA and China.

M variant is also reportedly going to arrive. In this case it will see direct competition from similar models of two fellow-country rivals. All timeframes passed for the current X1 to get the M modification, so the only choice for the latter to appear is together with the next generation, the launch of which is planned in two years.

2-Series Active Tourer, as a kind of front-wheel drive pioneer, will supply its propulsion row to the new product. Hybrid offering working on turbo petrol mill with the displacement of 1.5 litres, an electric motor and a battery is also not ruled out. Together such a smart combination should deliver nearly 188 hp, with the electric propulsion solely capable of running for 19 miles.
