Bmw X1

BMW Concept X1 (what you see here is basically a thinly disguised production BMW X1)

The BMW X1 will hit the showrooms next year.
Expect the next generation X3 to grow a bit bigger to make room for the new X1.

I honestly still find the X5 better looking.

When the X1 is launched later this fall, base models will include the fuel-efficient xDrive18i and xDrive18d. Further up the pecking order is the 177hp (130kW) xDrive20d which sprints from 0-60 mph in 8.4 seconds while consuming 5.8 liters of diesel per 100km. A slightly more powerful xDrive23d will also be offered, it features 204hp (150kW) which enables it to run from 0-60 mph in 7.3 seconds before topping out at 223 km/h (139 mph). The final model is the petrol powered xDrive28i which boasts a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph).

Although all the launch models will feature xDrive (all-wheel drive), it is widely expected the X1 will be offered with sDrive (rear-wheel drive) shortly after production begins.

Look for the X1 to be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

it has the lines of the current 1-series hatchback.

But does it have a market segment? There is already the X3, X5, X6 from BMW.
