BMW to launch X1 facelift on Feb 14

BMW is all set to launch the updated X1 here on February 14.

To give the car a more upmarket appearance, BMW has carried out a whole slew of styling tweaks on the X1. The front gets a more heavily contoured bumper, an altered grille featuring silver slats, more pronounced sockets for the round fog lamps and a completely redesigned lower section finished with a silver accent.

The headlamps retain the same familiar shape as those used on the existing X1, but receive new internal graphics, including LED corona ring main beam lights as an option. Further back, it gets reshaped exterior mirror housings carrying side repeater lights. The rear receives a restyled bumper, which like the one up front, has been lightened visually by the adoption of more body coloured surfaces and a larger silver scrub-plate element. 

Inside, the X1 adopts a lightly reworked centre console, high gloss air vents and a new range of optional trim elements. On the mechanical front, the X1 is set to get more powerful versions of the current engines and a new eight-speed automatic gearbox.
