2013 BMW X1 Crossover

2013 BMW X1 Crossover: To be unveiled this week at the 2012 New York Auto Show, the U.S. edition of the X1 compact crossover will be offered initially in three versions the X1 sDrive28i, the X1 xDrive28i ($33,245) and the X1 xDrive35i ($39,345). All prices include an $895 shipping charge. The rear-wheel-drive X1 sDrive28i and all-wheel-drive X1 xDrive28i share a 240-horsepower twin-turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4engine, while the range-topping X1 xDrive35i features a 300-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-6.

All engines get auto stop-start and automatic transmission. Introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show, the X1 went on sale across Europe in 2010 and originally was scheduled to reach U.S. dealers in late 2010. But the German automaker, citing strong European sales and a weak dollar-euro exchange rate, last year put the U.S. launch of the X1 on indefinite hold, electing eventually to bring the vehicle here as part of a midcycle freshening for 2013.
