BMW has officially revealed the 2013 model year X1 crossover that will be on sale in the US marketplace by this fall. Subtle changes have taken place to the best-selling compact luxury SUV, but enough overall to increase its appeal.
The US market will see a total of three variants, offered with only two engine options. The base X1 2.0-liter turbo is sold either as a the RWD sDrive28i for $31,545, or as the all-wheel drive X1 xDrive28i for $33,245. For those willing to burn a bit more petrol, there’s the range topping X1 xDrive35i, which sells for a mighty $39,345.
Under the hood of the 28i, you’ll find a 240-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, while the 35i is fitted with a bigger 3.0-liter with twin turbos and is good for 300 hp. Both units come mated to an automatic gearbox and feature start-stop technology, and brake energy regeneration.
