Orgasm of new models in the premium part of the small category, since soon the Audi A1 will have two new and highly ambitious competitors. The first of these is a new small Mercedes-Benz, while the second will be a corresponding brand new BMW model.
So we will see the first small car of the Bavarians until the end of the year based on the same front-wheel drive platform of the next Mini.
Luxurious appearance of a genuine BMW
In terms of design, the smaller BMW will not deviate from the familiar design philosophy of the brand, adopting an appearance that will emphasize its premium character.
Thus, in the front part, the shape of the luminaires will refer to those of the BMW 1 Series, however, the part that connects them with the chrome grille, is a practice that the largest BMW 3 Series is the first to know.
In the lower part of the car, the design of the bumper is impressive, with chrome "S" shaped parts and special dynamism.
From there and back, on the side of the body stands out the horizontal rib above, under the windows, which ends on the rear lights.
There, in the rear, with what we can see in the spy photo, we expect a relatively vertical shape, so as not to affect the space in the back seat of the car.
Front-wheel drive and with new engines
For the new small BMW, it is time for the brand to bring us the first front-wheel drive option in its history. In fact, this floor is completely new for the whole BMW Group and has the code name "UKL1".
A number of new models will be based on it, including the next Mini, with the main feature of this floor being its contribution to reducing the weight of all new cars.
This platform will also help improve the rigidity of all these new models.
In the part of the engines we will have here completely new mechanical sets with turbo, diesel and gasoline, with a capacity of 1,5 liters.
Their characteristic element will be their reduced consumption and emissions, combined with their high efficiency since their horsepower will reach 220 hp.
