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.

six-cylinder in-line petrol engine that pumps out 160kW of power and
280Nm of torque at 2500rpm. Fitted with a six-speed automatic

km/h in 7.9 seconds before topping out at 205km/h.

engine producing 110kW of power and 200Nm of maximum torque at 3600
