2016 BMW X1

Reports reveal that when this new X1 launches in America this fall, it will be exclusively in xDrive28i form, meaning all-wheel drive. A front-wheel drive sDrive version is reportedly coming later.

Power comes from a 2.0-liter turbo four that puts out 228 horsepower, joined to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. No more inline six for the X1, though.

In Europe and other markets, lots more engines will be available. Diesels and the rest.

It’s not a bad-looking car — it could have been a 3-Series or 5-Series GT — and seems set to do battle with the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Lexus NX. No word on pricing yet, but expected to start in the low $30,000 range like the last one.
