BMW 1 Series 2023: New Details & New Photos

More efficient, more technological and, also, more sporty. BMW is already preparing the launch of the new 1 Series, which is already in the testing phase. We advance everything we know.

The third generation of the BMW 1 Series was launched in 2019 and its mid-life update is coming. From Germany, our colleagues from Auto Motor und Sport have already been able to photograph the new compact filming in the testing phase, although still with a heavily camouflaged bodywork that hides its real aesthetic changes. However, we can already anticipate many of its novelties.

And it is that the BMW 1 Series 2023 will release a major update. The brand has decided to thoroughly review the model, which is already known internally as F40. The first images only show new headlights at the moment, and we also know that the front grille will be renewed to adapt to the new style already shown by the new 2 Series. On this occasion, the brand will not take its oversized version, but the slightly enlarged alternative.

BMW 1 Series 2023 Interior

To all this, BMW also gives a new front skirt, new rear optics, and new design wheels to distinguish the new update from the current model. Few more interventions are expected in terms of exterior design, although many more new doors inwards.

Because BMW continues to completely camouflage the interior of the new 2023 Series 1 in the testing phase … and that is unusual in an update unless the changes are really important. From AMS they assure us that now the center console will be wider in the new model, offering cup holders and USB ports that it did not have before. With a clear inspiration in the new 2 Series Active Tourer, the latest version of the i-Drive control will also be on board, as well as the 10.25-inch curved screen with digital instrumentation and the central touch screen of the information and entertainment system, 10.7 inches.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, PLUG-IN HYBRID

BMW 1 Series 2023

Already under the hood, from Germany, they point out that the new 2023 Series 1 will equip its well-known diesel and gasoline engines, optionally with xDrive all-wheel drive. The engines will have a small upgrade in performance and consumption, and the new 7-speed dual-clutch transmission will also be available. As a great novelty, its first 3-cylinder plug-in hybrid version will also arrive, as the Series 2 Active Tourer also announces.

But BMW will also continue to give prominence to its sports versions and its top model will continue to be the M135i, with a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine that will probably exceed the current 306 hp. The model will also have a new exhaust outlet system and a diffuser under the now more aggressive rear apron, along with the upper spoiler. Lower, with better brakes and bigger tires, the 2023 M135i promises more sportiness.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
