现行版宝马1系是在2011年上市销售的，根据宝马内部规则，后继车型应该在明年推出。新一代1系合成图近日曝光。新车格栅还是典型的宝马双肾造型，并非像X2那样。至于前大灯是否像合成图那样还不好说，毕竟从最近几个月拍到的谍照看，前大灯一直都进行了遮盖。不过，目前宝马的LED大灯都采用了蜂巢形状。这张合成图展示的是采用了MSport套装的版本，因此车头进气口更大。后视镜盖则是仿碳纤维材质。前轮拱和前车门之间的距离更短。上部特征线（与现行版一样）正好与车门把手保持相同高度。车顶线条略微向下倾斜，后部与车尾练成一体，而底部特征线位置更高。B柱与老款车一样采用隐藏式的黑色。新车技术规格有很大变化，后驱将被前驱所取代。新车与宝马2系、X1和MiniCountryman一样共享UKL平台。已经在售的1系轿车长度为4.46米，轴距2.67米。而现行版1系长度4.32米，轴距2.69米。新车是否还是三门和五门版本目前还不清楚。这张合成图显示的是五门版，三门版很可能会取消。至于动力系统，新车或许将搭载三缸和四缸引擎。其中动力最强劲四缸车型130i功率将达到258马力。据传，还有一款135i，该车将搭载取自X2的300马力四缸引擎，不过UKL平坦并不兼容六缸引擎。新一代1系车厢内将配备数字仪表群，这有利于提升竞争力。比较很多同级车型已经提供了这项配置。同时，新车内部空间也将更宽敞，尤其是后排乘客活动空间会更大。同时，行李箱储物容积也将进一步扩大，前驱车型更容易增加储物容积。新车售价也将与现行版差不多，目前五门版的116i在德国售价25900欧元（约合人民币20.6万元）。
This Is What The 2019 BMW 1 Series Could Look Like
The current generation of the BMW 1 Series went on sale back in 2011. According to the eternal laws of the automotive industry, the successor will be due in 2019. Our rendering shows what the car might look like.
The grille has the typical BMW kidney shape, so it is not mirrored like on the X2. Whether the front headlights will be shaped exactly as the rendering shows, remains a bit speculative, since the lights were heavily camouflaged in the spy shots we've published over the last few months. In any case, the LED light elements will now receive the new hexagonal shape. Our rendering obviously shows a version with the M Sport Package, so it has large air intakes. The mirrors are dipped here in faux carbon fiber. The distance between the front wheel arches and the front door edge is now shorter than before. The upper character line lies (just as at the current model) at the height of the door handles. The roofline gently drops off to the rear, while the lower character line rises. As before, the B-pillar is hidden behind a black finish.
Technically, a lot of changes will be made with the new 1 Series. Above all, the rear-wheel drive is replaced by front-wheel drive. The newcomer is based (like the 2 Series Active / Gran Tourer, the X1, and the Mini Countryman) on the platform UKL. The 1 Series Sedan is already being sold (internal code: F56) with a length of 4.46 meters (14.6 feet) and a wheelbase of 2.67 meters (8.7 feet). For comparison, the current 1 Series measures 4.32 meters (14.1 feet) and the wheelbase is 2.69 meters (8.8 feet).
Whether there will be again both three- and five-door versions is not yet clear. Our picture shows the five-door, the three-door could be dropped. As far as the engines are concerned, the new compact from Munich will probably only get three- and four-cylinder units. The strongest four-cylinder gasoline engine from Munich so far has 258 hp -- that would be a candidate for a 130i. Furthermore, there are rumors of a 300-hp four-cylinder engine in the X2, which could also work in a 135i. A six-cylinder (as in the current M140i) is not compatible with the UKL platform.
We expect the freshman to get a digital instrument cluster inside the cabin. In any case, that would be good, because the competition already has it: for the Audi A3 it’s called the Virtual Cockpit, the VW Golf has an Active Info Display and the new A-Class has MBUX widescreen display. In the rear, the new 1 Series should offer more space than before. As far as the trunk is concerned (so far only 360 to 1,200 liters), the new 1 Series will probably grow in that area. The front-wheel drive leads to improvements here.
The prices are likely to remain about the same, which in Germany currently start at around €25,900 for the five-door version (116 i with 109 hp).
