Munich. The BMW Group is consistently driving its electrification strategy forward and presents new plug-in hybrid models for an especially popular and dynamically growing vehicle category. In the new BMW X1 xDrive25e and the new BMW X2 xDrive25e, the intelligently controlled interaction between a fuel combustion engine and an electric motor as well as locally emissions-free travel can be experienced in the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) premium segment starting in 2020. A highly efficient electric drive and a latest-generation lithium-ion battery enable an electrically powered range of up to 57 kilometres* in the two new plug-in hybrid models. With an average fuel consumption of 2.1 to 1.9 litres per 100 kilometres* and CO2 emissions between 48 and 43 grams per kilometre* for the BMW X1 xDrive25e and 2.1 to 1.9 litres per 100 kilometres* and between 47 and 43 grams per kilometre* for the BMW X2 xDrive25e, both models set a benchmark within their competitive fields. Combined power consumption of the BMW X1 xDrive25e is 14.3 to 13.8 kWh per 100 kilometres*, the corresponding values of the BMW X2 xDrive25e are 14.2 to 13.7 kWh per 100 kilometres*. The hybrid specific all-wheel drive with its fast and precise distribution of power between the front and rear wheels delivers a high level of driving pleasure and thrilling agility.

The two plug-in models are an extension to the wide range of BMW models in the premium compact segment of SAV and SAC vehicles. In addition to numerous variants featuring extremely efficient petrol and diesel engines, models with electrified drive will be on offer for the first time. Thus, the portfolio will include in addition to economical entry models with a 3-cylinder combustion engine also the new plug-in hybrid models and the BMW X2 M35i (combined fuel consumption: 7.1 – 6.8 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 163 – 154 g/km*), the extremely athletic top model with a maximum output of 225 kW/306 hp. With the extension of its range in the premium compact segment the BMW Group’s model offensive is gaining further momentum in the area of plug-in hybrid models. The current selection comprises the MINI Cooper SE Countryman (combined fuel consumption: 2.1 – 1.9 l/100 km; combined power consumption: 13.9 – 13.5 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 47 – 43 g/km*), the BMW 225xe Active Tourer (combined fuel consumption: 1.9 l/100 km; combined power consumption: 13.5 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 42 g/km*), BMW 3 Series and BMW 5 Series models and plug-in hybrid luxury sedans of the BMW 7 Series. In future, four BMW X models with plug-in hybrid drive will also be available. As a pioneer in electric mobility BMW intends to have more than one million vehicles with electrified drive on the road by the end of 2021. By 2021, 25 percent of the vehicles sold by the BMW Group in Europe will feature an electric drive. By 2025 this figure is scheduled to reach 33 percent and 50 percent by 2030. The BMW Group plans to extend their portfolio by additional 25 electrified vehicles by 2023.

The plug-in hybrid system of the new BMW X1 xDrive 25e and the new BMW X2 xDrive25e consists of a 1.5 litre 3-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and an electric drive specially developed for this model. It is taken from the eDrive technology modular system of the BMW Group. The petrol engine mobilises a peak output of 92 kW/125 hp and a maximum torque of 220 Newton metres. It transfers its power to a 6-speed Steptronic transmission and drives the front wheels. The electric motor generates an output of 70 kW/95 hp and delivers 165 Nm of torque to the rear wheels via a single-speed transmission. This makes for a hybrid specific all-wheel drive, which gives both models a unique level of agility in their competitive fields delivering hallmark SAV and SAC driving pleasure. The highly responsive power delivery of the electric motor, which delivers its full torque spontaneously from standstill, enables the driver to react extremely quickly to changing driving conditions. In addition, the position of the electric motor above the rear axle contributes to the harmoniously balanced axle load distribution of the new BMW X1 xDrive25e and the new BMW X2 xDrive25e. In conjunction with the intelligently controlled interaction between the two power units, it provides maximum driving stability, ride comfort and dynamic response.

Together the combustion engine and electric motor produce a system output of 162 kW/220 hp. The maximum system torque of both drive units is 385 Nm. The new BMW X1 xDrive25e accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. The new BMW X2 xDrive25e does the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 6.8 seconds. In addition, the electric boost provided by the drive system ensures additional safety reserves and intense sporty flair when overtaking on country roads, for example. The top speed of the new BMW X1 xDrive25e is 193 km/h. Maximum speed of the new BMW X2 xDrive25e is 195 km/h.

With the very latest high-voltage battery cell technology, the new BMW X1 xDrive25e and the new BMW X2 xDrive25e possess generous reserves of electrical energy enabling the driver to conduct the main share of everyday travel locally emissions-free with the electric motor alone. The latest-generation lithium-ion battery has a gross energy content of 10 kWh. This allows for an electrically powered range of between 54 and 57 kilometres* in the BMW X1 xDrive25e (between 55 and 57 kilometres* in the new BMW X2 xDrive25e). The high-voltage battery can be charged at conventional household sockets using the standard-equipment charging cable. An empty battery can be fully charged in around five hours in this way. It only takes 3.8 hours for the battery to reach 80 percent of its total capacity. Using a BMW i Wallbox, the relevant charging operation from 0 to 100 percent takes less than 3.2 hours. 80 percent of total capacity is already reached after 2.4 hours. The charging socket is located under a separate flap on the front left side wall of the car.

The driver can use the eDrive button on the centre console to influence the drive system’s operating mode. In the AUTO eDRIVE standard setting, the intelligent drive system ensures optimum interaction between the two power units in all driving situations. Navigation data is also used to manage the plug-in hybrid system to increase both efficiency as well as driving pleasure. When navigation guidance is activated, the anticipatory energy management can also take into account the route profile for controlling the drive system. The MAX eDrive mode can be activated for maximum use of the electric drive. In this mode, the new BMW X1 xDrive25e and the new BMW X2 xDrive25e reach a top speed of 135 km/h. In addition there is also the SAVE BATTERY mode. It enables the driver to maintain the charging state of the high-voltage battery while driving or to increase it by means of recuperation. In this way battery capacity can be saved for later use when driving in purely electric mode in the city for example. The driving experience switch can be used independent of the drive mode. In the new BMW X1 xDrive25e and the new BMW X2 xDrive25e, the driver can use this to activate the COMFORT, SPORT and ECO PRO modes in order to influence the drive and suspension functions as well as to operate the electrically powered comfort systems.

Due to a long electric range and low CO2 emissions, the new BMW X1 xDrive25e and the new BMW X2 xDrive25e (depending on equipment) meet the criteria which have been stipulated for the classification as an electric vehicle in Germany and the associated preferential treatment in public road traffic. In addition, it also qualifies for reduced company car taxation in Germany. Only half the gross list price is used as a basis when calculating the monetary benefit from private use of the company car.

The new BMW X1 xDrive25e and the new BMW X2 xDrive25e feature acoustic pedestrian protection as standard. When driving electrically at speeds of up to 30 km/h, an unmistakable sound designed specifically for electrified BMW models is generated to alert other road users to the approaching car without impairing the acoustic comfort of the vehicle occupants. In addition, the standard equipment of the two compact BMW X models with plug-in hybrid drive also includes 17-inch light alloy wheels, 2-zone automatic air conditioning as well as auxiliary air conditioning. The interior can be pre-conditioned remotely via BMW Connected using a smartphone. As an alternative to the basic version, the new BMW X1 xDrive25e is available as a Sport Line, xLine and M Sport model. For the new BMW X2 xDrive25e customers can choose from the following models: Advantage, Advantage Plus, M Sport and M Sport X. In addition to the respective equipment packages, virtually all options of the conventionally powered BMW X1 or BMW X2 are available for the plug-in hybrid models.

The positioning of the high-voltage battery underneath the rear seats not only leads to a very low centre of gravity, which optimises the agility of the BMW X1 xDrive25 and the new BMW X2 xDrive25e, but also to a slightly reduced transport capacity compared to the conventionally powered compact model variants. The luggage compartment volume is fully available in primary use. In the new BMW X1 xDrive25e luggage compartment capacity is 450 litres. With a standard split of 40: 20: 40, the folding backrests enable this to be increased to 1,470 litres. A trailer tow hitch with detachable ballhead is optionally available for the new BMW X1 xDrive25e. The maximum trailer load is 750 kilograms.

La mise à jour du modèle augmente d’un cran l’attrait de la BMW X1.

Audace, sportivité, caractère affirmé : la nouvelle BMW X1 (consommation de carburant en cycle mixte : 6,8 à 4,1 l/100 km ; émissions de CO2 en cycle mixte : 155 à 107 g/km*) ajoute un nouveau chapitre à l’histoire à succès du SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle).

Avec ce restylage, la BMW X1 est plus attractive que jamais. Design revisité, polyvalence accrue et équipements à la pointe de la technologie : le SAV compact ne manque pas d’atouts. Sous le capot, les moteurs BMW TwinPower Turbo trois et quatre cylindres, qui allient puissance et efficience, sont associés à une transmission intégrale intelligente xDrive, gage d’un authentique plaisir de conduire.

Un design sportif au caractère bien affirmé.

Dès son lancement, l’actuelle BMW X1 avait conquis les clients par son design reconnaissable entre tous. Le restylage du modèle confère au SAV compact une allure encore plus séduisante.

Avec son avant et son arrière revisités, la nouvelle X1 impose son nouveau design. Chaque variante de la BMW X1, de la finition Lounge aux finitions xLine, et M Sport, affiche une identité visuelle spécifique, parfaitement adaptée à son profil. La BMW X1 finition M Sport se distingue par son allure résolument athlétique avec sa suspension DirectDrive, sa finition en Shadow Line et ses équipements spécifiques. Une finition Business Design, réservée aux entreprises, est également disponible.

Le caractère imposant de la nouvelle BMW X1 s’exprime particulièrement à l’avant. La calandre BMW agrandie, avec ses grilles qui convergent au centre, est associée à de nouveaux projecteurs LED, dotés d’une signature lumineuse plus acérée, et à un bouclier avec antibrouillards intégrés et prises d’air élargies. L’arrière de la BMW X1 adopte également de nouveaux éléments stylistiques. Ainsi, le bouclier de la jupe arrière se pare, par exemple, de la teinte de la carrosserie. Cette nouvelle caractéristique proposée de série renforce encore l’impression de classe et de cohérence qui se dégage de l’arrière.

Autre point fort : le rétroviseur extérieur côté conducteur, qui projette une image LED bicolore « X1 » lors du déverrouillage de la voiture. Loin d’être un simple gadget, ce système facilite considérablement l’entrée et la sortie du véhicule.

L’attractivité du nouveau design de la BMW X1 est encore rehaussée par trois nouvelles teintes extérieures – Jucaro Beige métallisé, le Misano Blue métallisé (pour la fintion M Sport uniquement) et le Storm Bay métallisé – ainsi que quatre nouveaux designs pour de jantes.

Une expérience de conduite qui allie puissance et efficacité.

Le restylage permet de pérenniser la BMW X1 par rapport aux normes d’émission. Ainsi, au lancement du nouveau modèle à l’été 2019, tous les moteurs essence et Diesel seront conformes à la norme européenne d’émission Euro 6d-TEMP ; la BMW X1 sDrive16d répond déjà à la norme Euro 6d. La puissance délivrée par les moteurs trois et quatre cylindres, aussi efficaces que sportifs, se convertit grâce à la transmission intégrale intelligente BMW xDrive ou à l’architecture moderne à transmission avant signée BMW en performances dynamiques sur la route et en plaisir de conduire ultime sur terrain accidenté.

La BMW X1 sDrive16d, disponible avec une boîte manuelle six rapports ou une boîte à double embrayage sept rapports, est particulièrement efficace. Avec la boîte manuelle, la consommation de carburant en cycle mixte du modèle 85 kW (116 ch) n’est que de 4,4 à 4,1 l/100 km, tandis que les émissions de CO2 en cycle mixte se situent à un niveau de 116 à 107 g/km*. Avec la boîte à double embrayage sept rapports, la consommation est de 4,4 à 4,2 l/100 kmn, et les émissions de CO2 de 116 à 109 g de CO2/km.*

La BMW X1 xDrive25i est l’un des modèles les plus performants de la gamme en termes de dynamique. Son moteur d’une puissance de 170 kW (231 ch) travaille en parfaite synergie avec la transmission Steptronic précise à huit rapports pour une dynamique de conduite hors pair sur la route. Il incarne la polyvalence sportive qui distingue tous les modèles BMW X1. La BMW xDrive25i abat le 0 à 100 km/h en seulement 6,5 s. Sa consommation de carburant en cycle mixte est de 6,8 à 6,3 l/100 km et ses émissions de CO2 en cycle mixte de 155 à 144 g/km*.

La gamme BMW X1 restylée comprend désormais 16 combinaisons moteur-transmission, offrant ainsi à tous les clients un vaste éventail de choix.

La technologie de suspension de la BMW X1 confère à l’ensemble des modèles une agilité, une maniabilité et une dynamique hors pair. Le système de transmission intégrale intelligente BMW xDrive disponible pour nombre de modèles de la gamme répartit le couple entre les trains avant et arrière en fonction de la situation. Résultat : une motricité irréprochable associée à une excellente stabilité directionnelle et une dynamique de conduite dans tous les conditions météorologiques et routières.

La BMW X1 xDrive25e dans les starting-blocks.

La remarquable efficacité des versions essence et diesel proposées pour la nouveau BMW X1 aiguise l’appétit d’une clientèle impatiente de voir arriver sur le marché la première déclinaison hybride rechargeable de la BMW X1. Avec le lancement du nouveau modèle l’an prochain, BMW va encore intensifier l’électrification de sa gamme de véhicules. La BMW X1 xDrive25e (consommation d’essence en cycle mixte : à partir de 2,0 l/100 km ; émissions de CO2 en cycle mixte : à partir de 43 g/km**), qui devrait entrer en production en mars 2020, est équipé de la toute dernière technologie de batterie BMW de quatrième génération. Dotée d’une capacité énergétique brute de 9,7 kWh, celle-ci permettra à la BMW X1 hybride rechargeable de parcourir plus de 50 km** avec la seule énergie électrique.

Des équipements sous le signe de la polyvalence et la connectivité.

Si la BMW X1 se distingue par ses qualités sur route, il n’est pas en reste pour la polyvalence de son habitacle. La technologie de pointe est associée à de généreux espaces intérieurs et d’innombrables solutions intelligentes et fonctionnelles.

Les exigences de qualité élevées imposées à la BMW X1 se traduisent par des détails comme les nouvelles surpiqûres contrastées du tableau de bord, noires en haut et de la couleur de la sellerie intérieure en bas. Les surpiqûres contrastées sont disponibles pour les finitions xLine et M Sport. Avec ces finitions, les tapis de sol bénéficient également d’une bordure colorée et de surpiqûres contrastées en bordure. La BMW X1 est également disponibles avec trois nouvelles variantes de sellerie au choix.

Dans l’habitacle, l’écran de contrôle joue les vedettes. Un afficheur central de 6,5 pouces est proposé de série. Si la voiture est équipée d’un système de navigation, elle sera livrée avec un écran tactile de 8,8 pouces ou le nouvel écran tactile de 10,25 pouces, qui peuvent être commandés via le contrôleur BMW iDrive, par commande vocale ou par commande tactile.

L’écran de contrôle constitue la plate-forme idéale pour explorer l’offre riche et variée d’info-divertissement disponible dans la BMW X1 et accéder aux services BMW ConnectedDrive, dont les dernières versions sont disponibles en option sur la BMW X1.

La remarquable polyvalence de la BMW X1 ne se limite pas aux technologies. Son habitacle s’adapte également aux exigences individuelles. Les sièges arrière peuvent ainsi être rabattus en trois parties (40/20/40) et, en option, coulisser vers l’avant jusqu’à 13 cm. Des équipements comme la commande automatique du hayon (de série) et l’Accès Confort (de série avec les finitions xLine et M Sport), qui s’associent pour permettre l’ouverture et la fermeture mains libres du hayon, augmentent encore le niveau de confort.
