BMW 1 Series Sedan Spied in China

BMW 1 Series Sedan Spied in China

Kuala Lumpur: BMW 1 Series sedan was recently spotted with a lot of camouflages while going under test trial in China. Dubbed as F52 BMW 1 Series, it has also been sighted a number of times earlier, the recent one being in China. This car is all set to compete with the likes of Mercedes-Benz CLA and Audi A3 Sedan.

Going by the prototype, the uncovered areas of the car revealed its roof, hood and A-pillar. Moreover, a white paintwork can also be noticed on the front bonnet. The rear fascia of the car features chrome trim and taillights that look similar to the one seen on BMW 7 Series which was spied earlier. The new 1 Series also rides on a long wheelbase along with its C-Pillar sitting on top of the rear wheels and shorter than the BMW-type front overhang. Further, it is also anchored to older five twin-spoke alloy wheels.

The designing of this car is expected to be similar to the BMW Concept Compact Sedan which made a debut at the 2015 Guangzhou Auto Show. It would also feature a UKL platform which is BMW's first front-wheel drive platform and can be found on the 2 Series Active Tourer, Gran Tourer and the new X1. With this platform, this could be BMW's first sedan with front-wheel drive.

Under the hood, it would be powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine or a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Further, the transmission options could include a six-speed manual transmission or eight-speed Streptronic transmission.

Her love for these mean machines is carried over from her childhood. For Charu, Barbies didn't make a place in the list of her favorite toys. Instead she would love to collect those toy cars and would go gaga over them. Dragged into the commerce background earlier, now she has finally found her long lost love with CarBay. With a dream to own an Aston Martin one day, she doesn't get tired researching about other automakers too.
