2020 BMW X1 xDrive 25e - Hybrid Ability Increased

After introducing a plug-in hybrid version of its entry-level crossover for the Chinese market, BMW is now launching the model in Europe. The X1 xDrive25e is making its debut on the Old Continent, offering “a high level of driving pleasure and thrilling agility.”
Under the familiar skin of the X1 is a plug-in hybrid powertrain, which uses a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine supported by an electric motor, specifically developed for this particular model. The gas unit generates 125 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, and is mated to a six-speed transmission channeling the power to the front wheels.
The electric motor adds 95 horsepower and 122 pound-feet of torque to the equation, sent to the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission. Combined, the two motors push out 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 284 pound-feet. These numbers provide a 0 to 62 miles per hour acceleration in seven seconds and a top speed of 119 mph.

What’s more important for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, on a single charge of the 9.7 kWh battery pack, the X1 xDrive 25e can travel up to 35 miles, calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. Using a BMW i Wallbox, a full recharge takes less than 3.6 hours and the battery can be charged at conventional household sockets, too.
