BMW X1 Launched

Updated: 27/01/10 @ 10.00am with Australian spec. interior photos.

As a prelude to the forthcoming compact SUV's launch in Australia, the German powerhosue has announced pricing for its new BMW X1. Beginning at $43,500, it aims squarely at Audi's Q5 and Volvo's XC60.

Two petrol engines, a four cylinder and six cylinder, and two diesel engines, both turbocharged fours, will comprise the X1 lineup.

A choice of rear-wheel-drive (sDrive) and all-wheel-drive (xDrive) will be offered, with the range to be topped by the xDrive23d. Utilising a 2.0-litre, turbocharged diesel, this punchy little four cylinder offers a staggering 150kW and 400Nm, with a 0-100km/h time of 7.3 seconds, bettering its petrol six-cylinder sibling by 0.6 of a second.

The X1 sDrive20d sits at the economy end of the scale, with 5.3 litres/100km consumed and CO2 emissions of just 139g/km.

The official release date has been set, with the X1 going on sale from April 10, 2010. BMW also makes mention of the fact that the X1 has already received five stars in EuroNCAP testing.
