2013 BMW X1 Now Available at Newbold BMW in O'Fallon, IL

Online, August 22, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The BMW X1 has been sold in Europe for three years and has finally made its way to the U.S. market. Newbold BMW in O'Fallon, IL has several 2013 BMW X1 SUVs in stock. The 2013 BMW X1 gives drivers a crossover with a lower profile, sedan-like dynamics, and good fuel economy. Edmunds.com has also suggested that 2013 X1 has the potential to be the best handling small luxury crossover on the market today.

Coming in at just under 61 inches tall, the 2013 BMW X1 has an agile, sleek profile that is lower than most of its competitors. While the exterior may appear compact, the interior offers plenty of space. The cargo rear seats have 40/20/40 split-folding combinations and when the whole rear seat is folded, the cargo area can hold up to 47.7 cubic feet of storage. The rear seats also recline for added comfort.

The 2013 BMW X1 is offered in three models: the sDrive28i, xDrive28i, and xDrive35i. The base sDrive has rear-wheel drive. Both the xDrive models have all-wheel drive. Both the 28i models offer a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine and the top-of-the-line 35i offers a 3.0-liter, 6-cylinder engine. The xDrive28i can cover zero to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds and returns 24 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. The xDrive35i reaches zero to 60 in 5.3 seconds and still achieves 18 mph city and 27 mpg highway.

To appeal to an American audience, BMW has added EfficientDynamics technology, like auto stop-start and an Eco Pro setting. This pulls more efficiency from the car by toning down climate control energy and coaching better driving skills.
