虽然第二代X1的新鲜感犹在，但随着生命周期的缩短以及紧凑型跨界车竞争的增加，宝马正在开发1系升级版本。虽然新车不会进行大幅改款，但车身部分伪装的原型车显示，这辆前驱跨界车将只是进行小改款。从这辆车硕大进气口，更大合金轮圈和车尾双排气尾管判断，这是一辆MSport版本。事实上，前轮拱隐藏的标志很可能就是熟悉的Mlogo，而车尾的Mlogo则隐藏在黑色胶布下面，这应该是一辆接近量产版的原型车，绝大多数内外装细节已经搞定。前大灯和尾灯组以及前后保险杠仍采用了云纹伪装。有趣的是，前保险杠并未看到独立设置的圆形雾灯，因此，雾灯可能与大灯集成在一起或者宝马故意隐藏了雾灯以耍弄记者。考虑到宝马新一代5系已经采用雾灯与前大灯集成在一起的更简洁的设计，因此前者的可能性更大一些。这次谍照记者拍到了X1无伪装内装，但不要期待太多。内装与现行的改款车差不多，值得注意的升级包括信息娱乐系统显示屏尺寸更大，仪表群采用了黑色面板，不过，现行已经采用了黑色面板。该车动力系统包括三缸和四缸汽油/柴油引擎，与现行版一样。宝马最近表示，前驱满血M版是最大挑战。因此不要指望宝马会推出X1 M。
Have A Look Inside The 2020 BMW X1 Facelift
The second-generation X1 still feels quite fresh to us, but with life cycles getting shorter and shorter as a result of increasing competition across most segments, it’s no wonder BMW is already preparing an update. As it has been the case with recent LCIs from Bavaria, we are not expecting any major styling changes, and this partially camouflaged prototype shows the front-wheel-drive-based crossover will only get a nip and tuck.
Judging by the big air intakes, large alloy wheels, and the dual exhaust tips, it appears we are looking at an M Sport version. As a matter of fact, the hidden badge on the front fender is likely the familiar M logo, while the logos at the back underneath the black tape indicate we’re dealing with a near-production prototype with most of the final bits and pieces in place. The swirly camo is where you’d expect it to be – on the headlights and taillights as well as on both bumpers. Interestingly, the separate round clusters of the fog lights are not at all visible in the front bumper, so either these have been incorporated into the main cluster or BMW is playing tricks on us with the camouflage. We are inclined to believe these now neatly reside in the headlight considering the new X5 has already adopted the cleaner look.
Our spies were able to check out the BMW X1’s undisguised interior, but don’t get too excited just yet. The cabin will be largely carried over from the current pre-facelift version, although we’re noticing the infotainment screen is a tad bigger and the instrument cluster has the black panel. The latter is already available on the current model, though.
Power will be provided by a familiar assortment of three- and four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines likely very similar to what’s available today. BMW recently said a front-wheel-drive fully fledged M car represents the “biggest challenge,” so don’t hold your breath for an X1 M.
