El 1 BMW X2022 is already here and in Actualidad Motor We have had the opportunity to meet personally all its details, During the static display which has taken place in Madrid.
La Third Generation of the BMW X1 arrives with a most imposing design, an arsenal of and engines for all tastes. In its repertoire there are diesel, gasoline, plug-in hybrid and 100% electric versions.
A BMW X1 bigger than it looks
All this in its compact size, although it is very close to the fuzzy limits of that category. Since BMW's misnamed "small SUV" grows 5 cm to reach 4,5 meters. Let us remember that the German brand does not have and has never had a small SUV. As can also be seen in the rest of its dimensions: 1,84 meters wide, 1,64 meters high and 2,69 meters of battle.
When removing the cover that covered the car during the presentation, the first thing that jumped out at the sight of those of us who were there was the bulky front end of the BMW X1. An impression that is not clearly seen in the images of the model that already abound on the Internet and that make it look even bigger.
The hood has very little slope leaving a large nose, which even has some negative drop leaving the highest part forward. The double grill is also very large, although not as large as in other models, under which there is another extra air intake. Both of them have the shutter system that opens and closes the airflow depending on the need for cooling. Except, of course, the grill of the electric version that is blinded with shiny black plastics.
La bodywork of the 1 BMW X2022 is clearly more angular than the previous generation. This is especially appreciated on the sides with the ribs that run through the doors at the top and bottom. In addition to the heel cups with a sharp design.
Already in the rear stands out above all the spoiler with the lower central part, whose steps also have an abrupt angle. The same happens with the gate, which has a curious right angle that delimits the rear lights.
Lastly, they also draw attention to the bottom trims, which are silver as standard, black in the M Sport version and blue in the electric one. Although in the latter you can optionally put silver.
Inside the 1 BMW X2022
Inside, we can see how the 10,25” instrumentation and 10,7” central touch screen they are part of the same set, with a slightly curved finish to face slightly towards the driver. A characteristic detail of BMW cars, which usually divert the center console so that it is more at hand than the one who governs the vehicle.
It also highlights a curious detail of the shift controls and other buttons such as the power on, the warning, etc. and they are integrated in the armrest floating center. A good solution that leaves them even closer to the driver and that allows space for storage compartments just below them.
The rear seats have a good space for occupants both in height and in legroom. Although the BMW X1 offers a option that allows the rear bench seat to be moved forward to gain a few liters in the trunk. There is still no data on how much you earn with this extra, but its capacity is 540 liters for the diesel and gasoline versions with front-wheel drive, 500 liters for the all-wheel drive and 490 liters for the electric version.
Engines of the BMW X1 2022
At the moment there is only one gasoline version for the BMW X1: the sDrive 18i 136 hp, 230 Nm of torque and three cylinders. An engine with which it reaches 208 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9,2 seconds. Its approved consumption according to the WLTP cycle is between 6,3 and 7 liters per 100 km, depending on the equipment.
also has only one diesel called sDrive 18d with four cylinders, 150 hp and 360 Nm of torque. With which it reaches 210 km/h, it goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8,9 seconds and consumes between 4,9 and 5,5 l/100km depending on equipment.
Both with single axle drive, as indicated by the sDrive badge, but in the case of this model it implies front-wheel drive and not rear, as in other models of the brand.
A good electrical deal
In the case of plug-in hybridsYes, it has two options, both with all-wheel drive. The xDrive 25th, which has 245 hp and 477 Nm of torque thanks to its three-cylinder gasoline engine (136 hp) and the electric motor (109 hp). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,8 seconds and reaches a more modest speed of 190 km/h. Its consumption is between 0,8 to 1,1 l / 100 km.
El xDrive 30thInstead, it has 326 hp and 477 Nm of torque, also with a three-cylinder engine (150 hp) and a 177 hp electric motor. With them it reaches 205 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,7 seconds. Although its consumption is exactly the same as the xDrive 25e. all engines they only have the automatic 7-speed Steptronic, for the moment.
Finally, we have the BMW iX1 that is 100% electric with all-wheel drive, 313 hp and 494 Nm. Powered by a 64,7 kWh battery that gives it a range of between 413 km and 438 km depending on equipment.

The most basic includes 17-inch wheels, multimedia system with DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, BMW Connected Drive and Connected Package Professional, electric closing and opening of the gate, LED headlights, electric parking brake and dual-zone climate control.
To this must also be added driving aids like the already usual automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control and surprisingly for a basic finish the assisted parking system.
