Building anticipation prior to the BMW X1 official launch on October 24th at the Leipzig plant, BMW releases a series of videos of their new Sports Activity Vehicle, X1. First photos of the X1 going through the assembly line at the Leipzig plant were posted last week, but today, we have the opportunity to see unique footage.
At the same time, several other videos have been released giving us a closer look at the new X1 interior and exterior design, and one of the engine options in the X1. One video also “touches” the Joy campaign where a young fella takes the X1 to a river for some whitewater rafter activities.
On another note, watching several conversations on the web and reading some reviews, we’re seeing around of positive vibe around the X1, mostly from people that have seen the car in person. Same as the 5 GT, the BMW X1 seems to appeal more in person and the car received lots of attention at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
If the X1 will come to a car show or event near you, take the time to see it in person.
A new video of the upcoming BMW X1 has been launched by the folks at BMWwebTV. Peter Krist, Head of BMW X1 Project, explains the technology and marketing behind the new entry-level BMW Sports Activity Vehicle.
The X1 will be initially launched in the European market and slowly will be introduced in other markets as well, including the U.S. The X1 is also the first BMW is the first SAV to offer a rear-wheel drive option as well and will be available with both diesel and gasoline powerplants.
The official unveiling of the BMW X1 production model will take place at the upcoming IAA Frankfurt Motor Show, an event where BMW will display over 70 models.
The X1 goes on sale this Fall with the sDrive18i as its entry level model and a base price of 27,200 euros.
Continuing the BMW X1 coverage and as usual, we are here for you and spend countless of hours online trying to bring you the latest BMW content. We just managed to finish uploading footage of the new BMW X1 on our Youtube channel.
The high quality videos showcase the interior and exterior design of the BMW X1, along with first drive footage and the engine bay. Since some of you asked us already about the brown exterior color, the official name is Marrakesh Brown and for now, it will only be available on the X1.
After seeing the interior video of the X1, we are again convinced that BMW has stepped up its game and their latest interior designs are up to the standards of even the most demanding customer. The X1 interior is clearly a huge step forward from the current X3 and we can even adventure to say that it is indeed more elegant than the X5.
For now, enjoy these videos and we will return soon with more.
