1 Answers
The length, width, and height of the new BMW X1 are 4565 mm, 1821 mm, and 1620 mm, respectively, as per official data. The length of the new BMW X1 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two parallel planes aligned with the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and its supporting plane. The new BMW X1 is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, codenamed B38A15C, is a three-cylinder engine that delivers 140 horsepower and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. It can output maximum power between 4600 and 6500 rpm and maximum torque between 1480 and 4200 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, codenamed B48A20C, delivers 192 horsepower and a maximum torque of 280 Nm. It can output maximum power between 5000 and 6000 rpm and maximum torque between 1350 and 4600 rpm. This engine also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. National regulations specify certain requirements for vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is intended to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of a vehicle's width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking to prevent accidents or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5 meters to comply with the requirements of public road usage.
