The 2019 BMW 1 Series has been one of the
long-awaited launches globally. BMW has heavily updated the next-generation BMW 1-Series and it will make
its first public appearance at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The
company has also confirmed that the all-new BMW 1 Series will be launched in
Europe in 2019 and will make its way to the other global markets in 2020.
The new BMW 1 Series has been developed on the FAAR
platform and will embody BMW groups latest design language with its face
picking up cues from the 8-Series Coupe. The cabin of the new BMW 1 Series is
also inspired by the bigger models of the family and the dash will be quite
similar to what we have seen on the latest 3 Series sedan. However, the size of
the infotainment screen and instrument panel is still uncertain. The key
highlight, however, is that the new 1 Series will be front-wheel driven like
the BMW X1 and, unlike its predecessor which was rear-wheel driven.
At the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, the
next-generation 1 Series will be showcased alongside the BMW 2 Series Gran
Coupe. The new 1 Series will
also be a feature loaded model, unlike the previous one which lost its sheen
being bare basic for a luxury car brand. Moreover, being a front-wheel-drive
model, it's likely to be cheaper than its predecessor.
