BMW 1 Series hatchback will be replaced entirely by a
new model that's expected to switch to a front-drive setup like the 2 Series
Active Tourer. But before it does, Munich is apparently rolling out what will
likely be one last round of revisions.
Spotted while undergoing testing, this partially
camouflaged five-door 1 Series appears to be wearing new headlights and grille
up front, and new taillights around back.
It'll probably get some new features inside, maybe some updated powertrain tech, and a fresh array of wheels. But we wouldn't expect much of this mild revision, especially since the model was just updated a couple of years ago.
The revised 1 Series will
likely appear at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year, in the same location where
this second-generation F20 model was unveiled six years ago. Then it'll likely
have to hold on to the bottom end of the Bavarian automaker's lineup until its
front-drive replacement arrives sometime next year or the year after.
