This rendering is very close indeed. The front is very similar , with a dynamic sweep of the headlights. A feature on the next generation 7er , 5er and new X7.
And although it is shown as the M Sport in this render. The front facia aligns with the new X family signature but looks more sporty to appeal to younger customers. The rear incorporates typical BMW L-shaped units that wrap around the exterior X3-like.
The shape and character sculpture on the render conforms to what is hidden underneath camouflage and vacuumed plastic panelling on the current prototype.
The kicked-up hofmeister kick and rising glasshouse is carried over , highlight more by the dynamic sweep downwards of the roofline to highlight a more sportier profile than before.
The new X1 launches next Summer and will premiere at the 2015 IAA and launches early 2016. The X1 will be built in Leipzig , Shengyang and a new facility in Brazil. As a first for the Chinese market there will be an X1L a long wheelbase model for greater passenger comfort.
Engines will range from a three cylinder to a 300+PS four cylinder. Both petrol and diesel will be offered. A plug-in hybrid eDrive model will also be available.
The interior will offer greater leg room especially for rear passengers and a new dash that fits between the new X5 and Active Tourer with surfaces and layers.
One year later will be the next X family member - The BMW X2 available for the first time as a 3dr and 5dr.
