Next to the 1-Series hatchback version, BMW is also preparing to make some changes for the smallest SUV in the line-up: the X1. However, do not expect to see it happen one or two years after we will see the new 1-Series generation launched, meaning the new X1 is expected sometime in 2014-2015.
And as with the 1-Series models, the future X1 will focus on improving the car’s general look, the interior comfort, but also on improving the fuel consumption. As a result the general look will be inspired by the latest models in the line-up, like the 5-Series, but also from the future 3-Series. As for the interior, standard equipment will include all the latest BMW technologies, and most likely the latest ConnectDrive technology will be offered for those interested.
As for the engine line-up, BMW will keep the current engine line-up, but with modifications made in order to lower the fuel consumption. Start-Stop, xDrive and other technologies like this will also be offered, while a hybrid version is a big possibility.
