2023 BMW X1 and iX1 leaked ahead of international launch tomorrow

The most compact SUV in the Bavarian range has been leaked ahead of its international launch. There aren’t too many surprises expected with the 2023 BMW X1 and iX1 based on the various spy shots we have seen and the model has dodged the enlarged kidney grilles.2023 BMW X1

The front grilles are more enlarged than before but still less imposing from other models in the BMW lineup. A few specifications have also been leaked including that the iX1 will be able to make use of an AC plug for charging with up to 11 kW however an optional accessory allows it to charge up to 22 kW. Still meagre numbers when compared to the 130 kW capabilities of a direct current unit. This translates into 120 km of range after just 10 minutes of charging while up to 80% battery life can be achieved in only 29 minutes. 2023 BMW X1

To help aid in its 438 km claimed range, the two-electric motor iX1 also boasts a low drag coefficient of 0,26 which is impressive for an SUV in this category. This is while being able to produce a maximum of 230 kW for a short burst of time while 200 kW is available in normal driving conditions. 

The 2023 BMW X1 on the other hand includes a redesigned interior which includes the curved 10,25-inch digital gauge cluster and 10,7-inch touchscreen multimedia control display. The models will also include BMW Operating System 8 to operate all of the computer functions.2023 BMW X1

The pair of models will be internationally launched later today so official specifications and statistics will be posted thereafter.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
