The BMW X 1 bought by more than 200,000 people at home during the Chinese New Year is frequently ridiculed. Is the three-cylinder BMW X 1 really not working?

With the impact of independent brands and the further segmentation of SUV market, many car companies have developed their own SUV models, and of course BMW is no exception. BMW's X 1 should be regarded as an earlier model. From the 2.0T four-cylinder model when it was launched to the 1.5T three-cylinder model now, it is inevitable to attract unanimous criticism. 300,000 only bought a three-cylinder car, who felt sorry for it, so BMW lowered the price of X 1, and now it can be around 250,000.

The first is the appearance. The appearance of BMW X 1 adopts BMW's family-style design, kidney-shaped air intake grille and angel eye headlights. Everything is so familiar. Seen from a distance, this is a small X5. The lines on the side and the shape of the tail are also reduced X5, so from the appearance, it is completely a small X5. This is undoubtedly very good news for some face-saving friends. If you don't look at the tail tag, people who don't know the car can't tell whether it's X3 or X 1. Just like spending a little money to install a big X, it is impartial. BMW X 1 looks sporty and young, so X 1 is more suitable for young people.

Open the car door and let's have a look at the interior. The interior is nothing new. BMW's interior feels like this design style for more than ten years. There is nothing new, and the change is also a small change in some details. One of the few notable places is the three-position sports steering wheel and BMW's classic electronic shift lever. The three-position steering wheel makes the car look more sporty and younger, and the electronic gear shift lever is not bad. At least, it also makes entry-level car owners feel all the classic design elements of BMW. You should know that the X 1 before 20 19 has no electronic shift lever, which is also a big update of the 2020 model. In terms of space, it is also great. Sitting in the back row is not oppressive, and there is plenty of room in the head and legs. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a bulge in the middle of the back row, which is still relatively high, so sitting three people is still a little nervous. The trunk space is also very large, which can basically meet the needs of general travel. It is no problem to pull a family's luggage.

Finally, the most controversial power and driving, the new car is still equipped with BMW B series 1.5T/2.0T engine, with the maximum power 136/ 192 horsepower. Among them, 1.5T and 2.0T two-wheel drive models are equipped with 7DCT gearbox, and 2.0T four-wheel drive models retain 8AT gearbox. The new BMW X 1 plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of 1.5T inline three-cylinder engine, motor and battery pack. The maximum power of the engine is 136 HP, the maximum power of the rear motor is 95 HP, the pure electric cruising range of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 1 10km, and the transmission system is matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Let's talk about it The driving performance of 1.5T three-cylinder X 1 cannot bear to look straight. The power is weak, and the speed-up start is more fleshy. Because there are few gears, the fuel economy of high-speed driving is very general. If you want to buy, it is still recommended to start with the 2.0T model. The power is sufficient in all aspects, and the intervention of the turbine will not be particularly abrupt. The only drawback is that the brakes are too sensitive. If you are gentle, the brakes will be strong. It takes some time to get used to it.

Finally, to sum up, BMW X 1 is really good in practicality, and the 2.0T version is recommended. Although BMW X 1 is often considered as a car bought by vanity, after all, the price is here, so there are still many buyers of X 1, as can be seen from the sales record of X 1. After all, who has a problem with money? 250 thousand to buy a BMW, doesn't it smell good
