Despite the crazy financial crisis that has crippled a handful of carmakers, BMW gets busy with new models and versions. In particular, the BMW X1 SUV falls is the carmaker’s pioneer in the compact SUV category, which at present time has the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 as the front liners.
The X1 will be made available in AWD and RWD configurations. It also comes with 4 engine choices—three diesels and one petrol engines. In terms of fuel-efficiency, the RWD sDrive18d has a maximum of 45.2mpg fuel economy and a maximum speed of 124mph. The X1 will make its debut entrance in Europe this coming fall and will go on sale in the US sometime in 2011 but with only the initial two petrol power trains.
