BMW confirmed today that its BMW X1 crossover sport utility vehicle will debut in the United States during the 2011 calendar year. The X1 will be obtainable in rear-wheel drive and xDrive all-wheel drive flavors powered by both gasoline and diesel power-train options.
In EU, the X1 will be available in six trim levels, from the 258 horsepower, straight-six gasoline powered X1 xDrive28i to the turbodiesel X1 xDrive23d, which produces 295 pound-feet of torque. BMW isn't telling which, if any, of the European power trains we'll see in the North American X1, but the press release makes special citation of the X1 sDrive18d, which reaches an estimated 54.3 mpg (EU standard), so we believe it is risk-free to assume that at the least that variant will make the hop across the pond.
BMW cites "United States. market demands, fuel prices, and regulative measures" as factors in its conclusion to bring the crossover vehicle to U.S. shores.
