宝马决定全面出击，为所有车系都提供更全面车型以便与其他车厂的同级车型竞争。马来西亚设计师Theophilus Chin最近也绘制了1系轿车版合成图，不过由于外观并没有什么突破性的改变，因此似乎并不吸引眼球。这款宝马家族最小轿车将以奥迪A3和奔驰CLA级车型为主要竞争对手。由于该车基于1系平台，因此内部空间将比1系五门版更为狭小，无论前后排座椅还是储物容积都不会很充裕。动力系统方面，该车将搭载1.5至2.0升汽油和柴油引擎，功率在90至200马力之间。至于价格，由于A3和CLA起价都在2.99万美元（约合人民币18.39万元），因此预计1系轿车起价也不会超过3万美元。

 

BMW 1 Series Sedan Rendered

Since BMW decided to attack all possible niches, inventing a couple of its own in the process as well, rendering a new one shouldn’t surprise anyone. That’s why Theophilus Chin’s take on a possible 1 Series Sedan didn’t raise any eyebrows over here, at the autoevolution headquarters.

 

It would take on the A3 Sedan and the CLA-Class from Audi and Mercedes, respectively and give them a run for their money. It would also become the smallest sedan in the offering from BMW, slotted below the 3 Series.

 

Since this would be a small car, smaller engines would also be used, part of the B-engine family. With displacements ranging from 1.5-liter to 2-liters, the power outputs could be between around 90 HP to over 200. Petrol and diesel alternatives would be available.

 

However, space would be limited in the back and other downsides would also surface in the meanwhile. Dynamically, though, it would be a superior car compared to the 3 Series, as far as the engines would allow it.

 

The only problem left to solve would be the pricing, as it would have to be competitive in comparison with its rivals. With the A3 Sedan and CLA-Class both starting at $29,900, the Bavarians couldn’t afford to go over the $30,000 limit.
