The BMW 1 Series will launch its third-generation model in 2018. But in China, this has already happened; As part of the Brilliance joint venture, the 1 Series sedan that was built and sold in the country is paving the way for the front-wheel drive 1 series models. Therefore, the situation in the European market will become even more prominent from next year, because BMW will not sell a series of cars in Europe, but you may ask to steal more profitable sales of the 3 series sedan through fear.
The UKL foundation of the 1 Series sedan is shared with the 2 Series Active and Gran Toured models and the current Mini series models. So its chassis is already well-known, as is the gasoline-only turbine engine in this range, including the three-cylinder 1.5 in the 148bhp 118i and the four-cylinder 2.0 in the 189bhp 120i and 228bhp 125i.Smart look, right? In terms of size, the BMW 1 Series sedan matches the old E30 3 Series. Its proportion is very good, compared with the current 1 Series hatchback, it does not seem to be awkward, because it uses a horizontal engine layout, which was unthinkable before BMW. The benefits of this layout are mainly concentrated on the interior packaging, making the cabin more spacious, especially for rear passengers, which is very important for Chinese customers to maximize their role. They will be very satisfied. They will also be satisfied with its driving style. As our brief test drive on the Chinese test track proved that this 1 series may lack a pure old design, it can not only make up for its shortcomings.
Compared with the current 1 series hatch, its feet feel more flexible and light, and there is no inconvenience in operation. Bring sharpness; Have a strong desire to change direction. The layout feels more suitable for cars of this size - or, no matter which wheel is driven, BMW performs it better than the existing model. The engine is also a lovely thing: willing to accelerate, but as it improves, the smooth eight-speed automatic transmission works well to enable the driver to use its wide range of performance.
Given the limited nature of the test route and the actual exposure of the car, this must be a highly qualified ruling. Oh, remember, you can't even buy one here. But this is very good, very good, this test has enough advantages, can be used as the next generation 1 series of very delicious appetizers. According to this evidence, BMW is doing a very good thing.
