At present, the new generation X 1 family and iX 1 will be extended by BMW Brilliance, and it is expected to be officially listed in the second and third quarters.

In terms of appearance, the new generation X 1 family adopts BMW's latest X family design concept, and the front grille of kidney is larger in size, which is highly recognizable and aggressive with the "inverted L" LED headlights on both sides.

This system is equipped with the latest iDrive 8 human-computer interaction system, which greatly simplifies the physical keys, supports voice control, gesture control, knob control and other operating modes, and is more convenient to operate.

There is also a huge storage space under the center console, which provides a mobile phone wireless charging board and two cup holders. At the same time, BMW's famous "drumstick" electronic gear shift lever has also been replaced by "toggle" gear shift mechanism, in exchange for simpler control area layout and more storage space. The new generation X 1 series has four USB-C interfaces, two 12V power sockets and Bluetooth interfaces. You can also choose 205W Harman Kardon advanced sound system (12 speakers and hi-fi speakers). In addition, the new car is equipped with a camera facing the car.

In terms of power, although the first generation X 1 family has three different power forms: fuel, plug-in and pure electricity, each power form has improved the xDrive four-wheel drive system to ensure maximum traction, agility and stability in all kinds of weather and road conditions. Among them, the two electric mechanisms on the front and rear axles of the brand-new pure electric iX 1 xDrive30 model became the electric xDrive system. The two motors can cooperate with each other through a special torque control system and play a role in limiting wheel slip together with DSC, AWD and other stability systems. Under certain driving conditions, only by changing the power distribution of the front and rear motors can the traction and the ability to get out of trouble be increased.
