BMW currently has only one hatchback model, which is the BMW 1 Series with the chassis code F20. In terms of powertrain: The BMW 1 Series is equipped with three engines, including a 1.5L 3-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 100kW, a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with a low-power version of 135kW and a high-power version of 165kW, as well as a 3.0L inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 250kW. Dimensions: The BMW 1 Series has a length, width, and height of 4239mm, 1748mm, and 1421mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2660mm.
BMW's main hatchback model is the 1 Series, also known as the 1 Series Hatchback. I've been following BMW models since 2005, when the first generation on the E87 platform was introduced. Its rear-wheel-drive design delivered precise handling and was very popular, especially in the European market. The subsequent F20 generation retained its sporty DNA but switched to front-wheel drive to increase space, with models ranging from the entry-level 116i to the high-performance M135i. These cars are agile in the city, with quick power response, comfortably seating two in the rear. Although the trunk isn't large, its smart design can accommodate shopping bags or suitcases. Compared to competitors in the same segment, the 1 Series has an edge in handling and brand prestige, though maintenance and fuel consumption should be noted. Personally, I think it's a great fit for young people or small families—stylish yet practical, offering solid overall value for money.
