History

The BMW X1 was introduced in 2009 as a compact luxury SUV, aiming to provide a smaller and more efficient alternative to BMW's larger models. The first generation (E84) was based on the 3 Series (E90) and featured a rear-wheel-drive configuration. In 2015, the second generation (F48) was launched, adopting a front-wheel-drive platform (UKL2) shared with the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and the Mini Countryman. This generation also introduced front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants. The third generation (U11) was unveiled in June 2022, featuring an all-electric version, the BMW iX1, and plug-in hybrid models. This generation also saw the introduction of a long-wheelbase model exclusively for the Chinese market. (en.wikipedia.org)
