BMW India has finally launched its All-New X1 SUV in India. Like its previous generation, the 2023 X1 is offered with both petrol and diesel engine options. The Third-Generation BMW X1 is priced at Rs 45.90 lakh (ex-showroom) for petrol and Rs 47.90 lakh (ex-showroom) for the diesel variant.

2023 BMW X1: Exterior Design

The New BMW X1 is sharply redesigned when compared to its previous generation. In terms of dimensions, the 2023 X1 is slightly larger than its predecessor – 53 mm longer, 24 mm wider, and 44 mm taller. Even the wheelbase has been increased by 22 mm. Its surface lines, classy exterior, and monolithic design display its SAV identity clearly.

Upfront, it features slim LED headlights and a large BMW kidney grille. The bumper gets more angular creases with brushed silver inserts, sleeker headlamps, and new inverted L-shaped DRLs. The new SUV is characterized by smooth surfacing and flush door handles. Towards the rear, it highlights slim wraparound LED tail lamps and the sculpted rear bumper with silver inserts. Besides, the 2023 X1 rides on 18-inch alloy wheels.

2023 BMW X1: Interior Layout and Features

On the inside, the vehicle offers the company’s latest generation curved display that sits atop the dashboard. A floating centre console and new storage spaces make the dashboard look clear. Slim AC vents are neatly integrated into the dashboard. The German brand also claims that the latest X1 provides more space for its rear-seat occupants.

The car offers a host of new features. Some of them are Adaptive LED Headlights with High Beam Assistant, My BMW App with Remote Functions, BMW Live Cockpit Plus with Curved Display, Instrument Panel Luxury, Active Seats, Harmon Kardon audio system, and many more.
