One of the most sought-after SAV models at our Somerset County NJ dealership location is the BMW X1. That’s because of the versatile and luxurious driving experience you get.
The 2016 BMW X1 provides even more of that because of the updates made inside, outside and under the hood. That’s why we wanted to talk about the added space & capability this SAV has to offer.
Interior Enhancements
The biggest highlight of the 2016 BMW X1 is its advanced connectivity that includes BMW ConnectDrive. This technology uses the newest BMW Head-Up Display, which projects any driving-related activity onto the windshield so your eyes stay on the road more.
Added comfort comes from the increase in seating room. The seat height has been raised by 1” in the front & more than 2.5” in the rear while providing more headroom. Rear legroom has also increased by 1.5” with standard equipment or up to 2.6” with the optional adjustable rear seat.
Power front seats also now come standard, along with all-new SensaTec seat surfaces in Black or Canberra Beige to give you the feel of leather. The cargo area in back has also increased, so you can fit even more for your next trip.
Improved Chassis, Improved Design, Improved Ride
The 2016 BMW X1 puts the Sport in Sport Activity Vehicle through a number of changes. The first one is an increase in vehicle height by 1.7” to give you more driving confidence in any situation, whether it’s heavy rain or when winter comes around & it starts snowing.
There’s also a new engine available for the BMW X1 xDrive28i: a 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder that produces 228 hp and 258 lb/ft of peak torque. The twin-tailpipe design showcases the sporty side of this SAV, while the newly developed chassis technology & 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission increase efficiency.
The transmission also reduces vehicle weight, as does the newly developed chassis technology. The updated chassis also provides superior ride comfort, more precise handling and greater agility. The agility is also enhanced thanks to the use of aluminum in components like the hood, bumper supports and wheel hubs.
