Recently, in Detroit at the 2015 North American Auto Show, BMW introduced new models of the 1-Series.
The lineup featured three-door and five-door versions of the 1-series with some significant updates on the outside of the vehicle. A new kidney grille, headlights, sleeker lines, and LED lights are among the exterior upgrades.
The interior is very similar to its predecessor. However, the center console has been slightly altered and some new luxury features have been added. Among those upgrades are wiper blades that automatically come on when it begins to rain and an automatic air conditioning system.
The 1-Series offers a few different engine options. The 1.5-liter three-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine is the most fuel-efficient of the lot. It get 69 MPG while churning out 116 ponies. It comes with a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic.
In terms of power, the 3.0-liter six cylinder engine that pumps out 326 HP and will go zero to 62 MPH in just 4.7 seconds is the way to go. It has an all-wheel drive system and comes with the same transmission options as the three-cylinder.
BMW has not yet released a production plan or pricing information.
