The new evolution of the EMP2 platform introduces new parts in composite materials, hot-stamped structural parts and more compact elements such as the air conditioning unit, which allows offering more storage space. The trunk volume is 430 liters, with hands-free access and a motorized tailgate. The new evolution of the EMP2 platform has been designed to meet the latest impact regulations and satisfy the most stringent consumers without compromising the overall mass of the structure. The notion of dynamic serenity so cherished by DS Automobiles goes even further. The use of technical solutions such as pseudo-gluing (about 34 meters of glue bead and welding points applied to the vehicle's structure) as well as completely redesigned suspension and steering elements, guarantee a driving pleasure that is a benchmark, thanks to optimal body torsion and exceptional feel that invites driving pleasure.

BMW iX1 xDrive30 Exterior Design

2 June 2022 107 Views

With its robust appearance and functional versatility, the new BMW X1 embodies an authentic experience of freedom and independence in day-to-day driving and on longer journeys. The interior’s progressive design and sophisticated ambience, and the much broader selection of standard equipment compared to the outgoing model, serve to underline its deeply embedded premium character. At launch in October 2022, there will initially be a choice of two petrol and two diesel engines. These will link up with a seven-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch as standard, and their drive power will be channelled to the road via either the front wheels or the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system, depending on the model. This starting quartet will immediately be followed by the all-electric BMW iX1 xDrive30 as well as by a pair of plug-in hybrid models and another two conventionally powered variants with 48V mild hybrid technology. The new BMW X1 will be built at BMW Group Plant Regensburg, where models with combustion engines, plug-in hybrid systems and all-electric drive will all roll off a single assembly line for the first time. The BMW iX1 will bring the experience of locally emission-free driving pleasure to a vehicle segment enjoying worldwide growth, making it accessible to a very wide target audience. The compact SAV powered by the latest BMW eDrive technology will therefore give a major boost to the accelerated ramp-up of electric mobility. The improvements in sustainability compared to the predecessor model can be partly attributed not just to the wide-ranging electrification measures, but also the increased use of green energy, both for production and in the supply chain, and the greater quantities of secondary raw materials and natural materials used.
