The facelifted F48 BMW X1 will be joined by an xDrive25e plug-in hybrid variant next year. This will be made available in more markets than previously, when the pre-facelift xDrive25Le was a long-wheelbase version exclusive to the China market.
This powertrain on this one is to be shared with the updated BMW 225xe Active Tourer PHEV, Inside EVs reports. In the X1 xDrive25e, a 9.7 kWh battery provides juice to a 95 hp/165 Nm electric motor on the rear axle, and rated full-electric range is 50 km on the NEDC test cycle. Claimed combined fuel consumption for the X1 xDrive25e is 2.0 l/100 km, and combined C02 emissions is 43 g/km.
From launch, the F48 X1 LCI (life cycle impulse – BMW-speak for facelift) is offered in FWD sDrive16d guise with a 116hp/270 Nm 1.5 litre turbo three-pot, an xDrive25i petrol 2.0 litre four-pot with 231 hp/350 Nm and 2.0 litre diesel four-pot with 231 hp/450 Nm. Fuel consumption figures are 6.3 to 6.8 litres per 100 km for the xDrive25i, and 4.9 to 5.2 litres per 100 km for the xDrive25d.
In addition to the visual tweaks on its exterior, the X1 facelift gets new fabric and Sensatec faux leather upholstery options, while the iDrive infotainment is the sixth-generation setup with a tiled surface – not quite the latest found on the 1 Series and 3 Series. The X1 also gets a 10.25-inch centre touchscreen.

Merc EQC gotta new rival there.
This new EQC is impossible to compare with X1. Only GLA and X1 are compatible to compare
EQC is Full Electric. This is Plug-In Hybrid. Merc’s competitor is Audi E-Tron and Tesla Model X
The X series is killing the market! good job BMW!
Not with the new X models. Saw the price of the new X5? Not good at all and the same goes for the X2 too.
Very good looking!
hi there,
I was made to understand that the BMW X1 models comes with 7-Speed DSG. Can I know is it the same manufacturer which VW/Audi is using on the A4? Tq
