And the answer to this question, as you can see in the next spy picture, is one, "YES"! But do not hurry to hope for a small crossover, with enough interior space as an respectable SUV and this because the long wheelbase version will be available only for the Chinese market.
The news is not at all a surprise considering that, BMW offers the models 3 Series or 5 Series, both Long. In the case of the BMW X1, MINI built on a common platform and called UKL, it will be longer by 11 cm, compared to the European version. The interior space belongs for the rear seat passengers, and such a mini-limousine could spark an increased interest among young entrepreneurs.
Standard, the new X1 will be offered with front-wheel drive but also will be available wheel drive versions. The engine range is similar to the models MINI and BMW Active Tourer Series or Grand Tourer 2. It is rumored that later we can see a model with three rows of seats to accommodate seven passengers.
The second generation of the Bavarian crossover will start even this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show!
