BMW X1 xDrive25e
Sustainable energy
The xDrive25e version is synonymous with a 1.5-litre turbo gasoline engine accompanied by an electric booster that, together, deliver a total of 220 hp and 385 Nm of torque. Power reaches the four drive wheels through the six-speed automatic transmission, which allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, while the top speed is 193 km/h. During our test run, this powertrain demonstrated energetic throttle response, particularly while the electric motor draws juice from the 10kW battery.
Due to the platform, the internal combustion engine is transversely placed and delivers power and torque exclusively to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission with torque converter. As we mentioned, the electric motor is on the rear axle and can offer all-wheel drive depending on the driving mode. BMW claims 0-100 km/h acceleration in 7.0 seconds and a top speed of 192 km/h (135 km/h in electric mode). The homologated consumptions are 1.8 l/100 km with 40 gr/km of CO2 and electric consumption of 15 kWh/100 km, all values homologated by the WLTP protocol. The lithium-ion battery has 9.7 kWh. The battery can be charged from a domestic outlet or a quick charger, which is “hidden” under the rear seat. In this way, BMW has maintained the 450 liters of luggage compartment capacity. Which with the folding of the seat reaches 1470 liters.
Interior
The interior, the BMW X1 is starting to feel a little bit of the weight of age, despite having undergone a restyling at the end of 2019. Regarding the design of the dashboard, this is similar to the previous generation of the 1 Series. of instruments that combines digital and analogue arguments and a central screen where information from the infotainment system is transmitted, which also predates the one used in the current generation, for example, the 1 Series. used virtually irreproachable.
