BMW X1 Tech Edition: What’s new?
As the name already suggests, the most important update on the X1 Tech Edition is to its equipment list. Notably, the X1 Tech Edition comes with a larger 10.25-inch central infotainment screen. Other variants of the X1 get an 8.8-inch infotainment screen as standard, which is a tad bit small by modern standards in a luxury compact SUV.
The high-resolution 10.25-inch screen features touch functionality, but also retains the rotary iDrive controller on the center console. BMW has also added a new head-up display, wireless charging function and a new 205W Hi-Fi Sound System to the X1 as part of the Tech Edition update.
On the outside, the X1 Tech Edition does not boast of any cosmetic upgrades over other versions of the X1. However, it does get a new design for the 18-inch alloy wheels. The X1 Tech Edition is available with two color options – Alpine White andPhytonic Blue – while the interior comes finished in Oyster Black upholstery.
BMW X1 Tech Edition: what’s been carried over?
As already mentioned, the X1 Tech Edition mostly remains cosmetically unchanged from the facelifted model that was launched in India earlier last year. The face is characterized by a large single piece kidney grille and sleek, sweptback LED headlamps. The front and rear bumpers are well contoured for a sense of sportiness and the side profile is characterized by smooth flowing lines.
