The BMW X1 is a German compact luxury crossover vehicle produced by BMW AG since 2009. Since 2015, the second generation X1 has been released. The 1st generation cars were produced on the BMW 3-Series platform with rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, and the 2nd generation on the basis of BMW UKL with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The car was assembled in Germany, China, India, Russia, Indonesia, Malaysia and some other countries. In the 2nd generation, the Chinese version of the model has become longer and reaches 4.56 meters. In addition, the ground clearance has decreased, but the acceleration dynamics have increased.
