BMW X1 Gains Two New Engines

Jay Williams - 21/October/2010

Munich, Germany - BMW has announced the arrival of two new petrol power plants, and the option of BMW sDrive (two-wheel, rear-wheel drive) for the BMW X1 range.

The new BMW X1 xDrive25i now sits atop of the model range, while the BMW sDrive18i is the new entry model.
A four-cylinder two-litre turbodiesel-powered X1 20d is now also available in two-wheel drive as well as four-wheel drive.

BMW Group Australia Managing Director, Stavros Yallouridis said today's Sports Activity Vehicles (SAV) customers want the choice between two and four-wheel drive.

"Many SAV customers enjoy the ride-height, load space and all-round practicality of a lifestyle vehicle without necessarily wanting all-terrain capabilities, for these customers, the new sDrive X1 models offer better fuel economy, even better on-road agility and exceptional value for money," said Mr.Yallouridis.

The BMW X1 xDrive25i features a 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line petrol engine that pumps out 160kW of power and 280Nm of torque at 2500rpm. Fitted with a six-speed automatic transmission as standard, the BMW X1 xDrive25i accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds before topping out at 205km/h.

Meanwhile, the BMW X1 sDrive18i features a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 110kW of power and 200Nm of maximum torque at 3600 rpm. It accelerates from 0-100km/h in 9.7 seconds and is fitted with a manual transmission as standard or with an optional automatic.
