The fellows at BMW-web.tv have just put up a video with the BMW X1 undergoing testing at the Arctic Circle. Back in December, we had another article on the X1 being winter tested in Arctic Driving Center in Rovaniemi, Finland.
Judging from the video below, I must say the BMW X1’s handling is quite exceptional and it certainly seems to keep the assertiveness spirit that defines a bimmer. As you recall, the car will go on sale later this year and it will only be available for the European market.
There are four models available xDrive20i, xDrive20d, xDrive30i and a hybrid version, with the high-end xDrive30i being powered by 3.0L I6 engine with 272HP, and a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Pricing? Unknown at the moment, but it will be somewhere between the 3 Series Touring and X3.

Get in! sweet video, now if only the car wasn’t so damn ugly…
I don’t think it’s ugly, the concept colour isn’t particularly flattering. Once it’s in production form I think it’ll look great. I just hope it performs better than an X5 I saw today, stuck in a little thick slush whilst Land Rover’s of all ages drove around it.
Sorry, there are too many trees for that to be at, or above, the arctic circle. Much shorter spruce and the like are what is typically found that far north.
Interesting video of an ugly car.
I wonder if the exhaust REALLY sounds like that. I always thought the x3 was small enough
The X1 demonstrates its agility and grip in some snowy terrain. Snow isn’t that deep, but the landscape looks great….
