The second generation of the BMW X1 transfers the trademark qualities of a Sports Activity Vehicle to the compact segment with greater intensity than ever. The new edition of this highly popular model makes its mark with powerful proportions and clean lines in the style of its larger BMW X siblings.

Engines from the BMW Group's latest generation of power units, an efficiency-optimized version of the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system and newly developed chassis technology combine to produce a notable increase in sportiness and ride comfort along with far greater efficiency.

The BMW brand's most popular model range with more than 14 million already sold to date once again sets new standards for dynamism, efficiency and design in both the BMW 3 Series Sedan and BMW 3 Series Touring guise.

Under the hood of the new sedan model, the engine power is transferred via traditional rear-wheel drive or, alternatively, via the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system.

The BMW 330e Sedan will furthermore be added to the line-up for the 2016 model year. This plug-in hybrid marries eDrive technology with a four-cylinder petrol unit from the BMW Group's newest engine generation.
