BMW, the famous German Automobile manufacturer has scheduled to launch its new SUV BMW X1 in India early in January 2011. The new compact BMW X1 is even smaller than BMW's X3.
According to BMW the new X1 will be the cheapest model in its category in India. BMW X1 is powered by a 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine which delivers a maximum power of 177BHP and maximum torque of 350Nm.
Initially, BMW plans to introduce only Rear Wheel Drive models in India. This along with the lower price makes new X1 much more competitive against other SUVs in the same segment like Audi, Mitsubishi, Toyota etc.
BMW X1 will be available in two variants - Highline and Corporate Edition. The price of new X1 is expected to be around 27 Lakhs.
