BMW has unveiled the third-generation X1 and the all-electric iX1 For the global market. The new X1 has a more unique look, more features, and a wider range of engine choices.

The massive, almost square BMW kidney grille, with its contouring highlighted by the three-dimensional chrome surround, is at the heart of the new front-end design.

Chunkier wheel arches and flush door handles distinguish the side appearance. Horizontal lines, a thin rear window, and wide wheel arches emphasize the breadth of the body at the back.

The new BMW X1 will be available with a variety of engines, including petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid. A 1.5-liter petrol engine with 136 hp, a 1.5-liter petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance and 170 hp, both front-wheel drive, and 2.0-liter petrol mild-hybrid with 204 hp and all-wheel drive round out the petrol range.

There are two diesel engines available: a 2.0-liter engine with 150 hp and all-wheel drive, and a 2.0-liter engine with mild-hybrid technology that produces 211 hp and all-wheel drive.

Finally, there are two plug-in hybrid variants, the 245hp 25e, and the 326hp 30e, which combine a 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor to power the rear wheels.

The BMW iX1 EV, on the other side, has two electric motors that provide 313hp and 493Nm of torque. The ix1, which has a 64.7kWh battery pack, has a range of 413 to 437 kilometers.

The new BMW X1 is 53mm longer, 24mm wider, and 44mm taller than its predecessor, measuring 4,500mm in length, 1,845mm in width, and 1,642mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,692mm, which is 22mm longer than before, and track widths of 1,592mm in the front and 1,593mm in the back, up 31mm.

On the inside, the new X1 has plenty of room and cutting-edge technology. The interior geometry and a huge number of features are inspired by the BMW iX's interior concept.

The slim instrument panel, a stage for the BMW Curved Display, and a "floating" armrest with integrated controls are all key elements.

BMW AG on Wednesday revealed a fully battery-powered sport utility vehicle (SUV) called the 'iX'.As per BMW, the iX SUV would be comparable in size to the current BMW X5 SUV and will have similar outer dimensions. For the record, the X5 is a proper huge SUV that competes against the Audi Q7. Inside the cabin, the iX will feature a dashboard with a sweeping, curved screen.

The German automaker said that the iX SUV will have a driving range of 480 km which is comparatively less in comparison to the estimated driving range of the Tesla Model X Long Range, which stands at 598 km in the United States. BMW claims that drivers would be able to add 120 km of range in ten minutes at a fast-charging station.

“The BMW iX shows how we can give new technologies a very modern and emotionally engaging design. The car is technologically highly complex, but it feels very clear and uncomplicated," says Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. “The BMW iX offers a mobile living space in which people will feel at ease and the car’s intelligence is always available without becoming obtrusive."

The battery-powered SUV segment seems to be heating up with new upcoming products. Tesla's Model X already has competition from Chinese startup Nio, and General Motors Co's Cadillac brand recently unveiled a mid-size electric SUV called the Lyriq, expected to launch in 2022. Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen AG have electric premium models in the works. Ford Motor Co's Mustang Mach-E is aiming for a slice of the performance enthusiast market that BMW defined decades ago.

BMW Motorrad is finally set to launch a completely faired motorbike based on the TVS Apache RR 310 to the market.

BMW India has revealed that a new motorcycle will be released on July 15, 2022. BMW has also released a teaser photograph of the forthcoming motorcycle's tail light. The tail light is identical to the one featured on the Apache 310 RR.

Now, the teaser reveals the motorcycle’s LED tail lamp which is the same as the one on the Apache RR 310. Moreover, we expect BMW’s version to just be a rebranded iteration of the Apache.

Hence, the same aggressive styling and bodywork would continue, but, with BMW badging and a new name. The bike will also get new paint schemes to differentiate it from the TVS Apache as much as possible.

Just like the current lot of 310 ranges, the upcoming BMW 310 RR will also be manufactured by TVS at their plant in Hosur. It is likely to be heavily inspired by the Apache 310.

Headlight and tail light units are likely to be similar, so as to save costs. Fairing unit might be slightly different in design, inspired by BMW design language.

Nonetheless, it will come powered by the same 312cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor that is good for 34bhp and 27.3Nm. This motor comes with a slipper and assists clutch and six-speed gearboxes.

Another difference will be the color option. As can be seen in the teaser, the BMW RR310 is wearing the traditional BMW colors of White and Blue. Features on offer will also be the same and include a 5-inch color display with Bluetooth connectivity, dual-channel ABS, slipper clutch, and ride by wire, etc.
