After revealing the X1 Concept at the Paris Motor Show, Bmw will release the new model to the markets in 2010 in two versions: four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. The rear drive version will be powered with four-cylinder 2.0-liter petrol or diesel engines, at choice.
To make a differentiation between the two versions, the rear drive model will get a new “sDrive” badge. This will also be remarked in the name of the model, which will be the Bmw X1 18isDrive. The four wheel drive version will receive turbocharged four or six cylinder engines with an upgraded version of Bmw’s 2.0-liter turbo common rail diesel which is capable of 220 hp. The X1 is based on the same platform like 3-Series and will be produced in the Bmw’s Leipzig plant in Germany.
