After all: BMW X1 SUV official details

The all-new BMW X1 has finally been officially revealed after a plethora of photographs were leaked into the web last night. Cutting to the chase, the X1 is BMW’s new entry-level SUV model slotting right under the X6, X5 and X3. It will arrive at European showrooms this fall rivaling high-end versions of the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and Volkswagen Tiguan compact SUVs while BMW has also confirmed that the X1 will be offered in the States from 2011.
f BMW’s latest SUV/SAV looks familiar to you, it’s no surprise as the X1 was shown in pre-production form at last year’s Paris auto show under the ConceptX1 moniker. Compared to the X3′s fussy styling, a more streamlined look has been adopted for the X1 that incorporates flatter surfaces and tauter forms. We’re still trying to get used to that large snout, but we’ll wait to see the car up close for our final judgment (don’t expect us to fall in love…).

This is the new BMW X1. Okay, BMW calls it the Concept X1 – it will be wheeled out tomorrow at the opening day of the Paris motor show – but 99 percent of what you see here will be arriving in production form in the UK in autumn 2009. Expect prices to kick off around £20,000 as the X1 tries to capitalise on its lack of direct rivals – Audi’s Q3 is still two years away. No surprise BMW is predicting 100,000 sales a year as buyers continue to downsize without loss of image.
