The BMW X1, the first and still really the only premium vehicle in their segment, will continue to extend its pioneering position in the field of fuel efficiency. Inside the autumn of 2011, the model diversity across the variety of the compact all-rounder will b e complemented through the BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition. This model, that was systematically created to provide driving pleasure simultaneously along with reduced fuel consumption and emission levels, is powered with a 120 kW/163 hp four-cylinder diesel engine featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
With the average fuel usage of 4.5 litres/100 km and also a CO2 emission volume of 119 grams per kilometre it achieves best marks for efficiency inside a BMW X model. Furthermore, through the autumn of 2011, a newly developed four-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology is going to be readily available for the BMW X1. The 135 kW/184 hp power unit also sets new standards within the decrease in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions within its performance class, with values which range from 7.1 litres and 165 grams with the BMW X1 sDrive20i and 7.7 litres (automatic: 7.6 litres) and 179 grams (177 grams) for that BMW X1 xDrive20i.
The consistent deployment of highly efficient engines and BMW EfficientDynamics technology fitted as standard helps BMW X models also achieve brand-typical driving pleasure joined with exemplary gas mileage and low emission levels. The BMW X1′s outstanding efficiency is a fundamental section of its premium character, that’s unique within the competitive environment as well as underscored by high-class workmanship, elaborated functionality, a flexible interior and numerous equipment features. The BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition enhances the relation between sporty and athletic agility and gas mileage to an alternative level. Its 2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, whose BMW TwinPower Turbo technology comprises a supercharging system with variable turbine geometry and Common Rail injection, generates a maximum output of 120 kW/163 hp between 3 250 und 4 200 rpm. Maximum torque of 380 Nm can be obtained between 1 750 and a pair of 500 rpm.
The engine has been optimised at length to have a remarkably high a higher level efficiency. Special model-specific features add a centrifugal force pendulum within the dual-mass flywheel, which compensates vibration experienced at low engine speeds, thus providing more riding comfort if the vehicle is driven from the economic low engine speed range. The gear-shift point indicator fitted as standard continues to be adapted to fit the modern engine characteristics. Moreover, standard features likewise incorporate brake energy regeneration, Auto Start Stop function, electromechanical power steering, a disengageable air-conditioning compressor and tyres with reduced rolling resistance. The BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition also incorporates a longer rear axle drive ratio and specific light alloys inside Streamline design.
Furthermore, the BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition features newly conceived insulation technology for reducing engine noise that’s perceptible inside the vehicle. The noise optimisation measures will likely be deployed as through the autumn of 2011 in all of the further diesel versions in the BMW X1.
