宝马X1长轴距版的开发已经接近尾声，最近该车进行了最终测试，将在未来几个月内上市。最近谍照记者拍到的照片显示标准版旁边就是长轴距版，可以看到后者的后车门更长。该车的轴距加长，而且车顶线条比标准版更平直。而长轴距版增加的长度主要给了后排，使后排乘客腿部活动空间更充裕。宝马还将推出X1七座版，但增加的第三排两个座椅恐怕只能坐两个小孩。目前还不清楚X1长轴距版名称，但该车有可能被命名为“Gran X1”或者类似名称。这款车仍将采用UKL前驱平台，某些搭载动力更强劲引擎的版本会搭配xDrive全驱系统。宝马还未透露X1长轴距版发布时间，但预计该车最早将在日内瓦车展亮相。另外华晨宝马也将向中国市场推出七座插电混动之诺品牌，而普通版仍将保留宝马品牌。

 

Stretched BMW X1 spy photos reveal generous rear legroom

BMW is putting the finishing touches on its stretched X1 that was recently spied performing last-minute testing ahead of a market launch set to occur in the following months.

 

One of the attached spy images shows the regular X1 next to the stretched version and you will observe the rear doors of the latter are considerably longer. The wheelbase has been elongated and the roofline seems to be flatter compared to the standard X1.

 

As you would expect from a long wheelbase model, the added length grants superior rear legroom as demonstrated in the top image. BMW will actually sell the stretched X1 with a seven-seat arrangement, but most likely the two rearmost seats will be suitable for children as there isn’t a lot of headroom back there.

 

The name of the stretched SAV is unclear at this point, but BMW could decide to sell it with the “Gran X1” moniker or something similar. Naming aside, it will ride on the same front-wheel drive UKL platform as the five-seater X1 and some of the beefier engines will be paired to BMW’s proprietary xDrive all-wheel drive setup.

 

BMW hasn’t said a word about the model’s reveal, but we expect to check it out as early as March during the Geneva Motor Show. A plug-in hybrid version with seven seats is expected to be sold in China as a Zinoro whereas the conventionally-powered model will likely retain the BMW badge.
