Oh cheers for that , does look a lot more modern ,like the 1 and 3 series … so it’s out spring of next year is it ..?
Matthew – there are no actual pics yet, as the car is still undergoing tests in disguised form and no car manufacturer will release pictures at that stage. The photos that you will find online are either the current model, predicted mock-ups, or the new 1 Series (not the X1). They usually show the new 1 series interior in articles about the next X1 as it is likely to be very similar, but they are not the actual 2022 X1.
My BMW dealer tells me that it won’t be out this year (delayed due to Covid) and spring 2022 is likely to be the launch date. However, it could be sooner, or even later, as car manufacturers rarely confirm launch dates too far in advance as it can kill off sales of the outgoing model. In spite of it being towards end of life, demand for the current X1 remains very high.
Of course, we cannot take it for granted that it will appear on Motability from launch. Given the demand for the current model (with wait times of up to 5 months), demand for the new model will be very high and Motability may have to wait for a period until that calms down, so we may not be able to order one for another 12-18 months or so from now. Also, we may only be given a limited choice at first of the lower end models until retail demand eases. I was tempted to extend our current lease and hold out for one, but have decided that if I can get a top end model now I will be a fair way through the lease before the new model is on Motability and by the time I can order again we might, if we are lucky, have access to the higher end models. However, the way that Motability is going …….
