The new 1er actually breaks the mold from the current F20 in. Terms of interior quality and style heavily influenced by the new generation of BMW models . It's not a Hatch of the F52 as F52 will be replaced by a new sedan version as it is a short-life model originally for China but beginning to roll out in other markets now.
For the first time a 2er Gran Coupe will make the transition from a much discussed idea to production reality.
It's design also inherits the new design language such as crisp tight lines. Definition being more organic and the half-squircle headlights and prominent 3-dimensional L shaped tail lights.
It's a highly competitive segment so the 1er head into battle showcasing all the latest BMW attributes and innovations.
It's a good looking Hatch and far more competitive before. The interesting thing is the X2 raised Hatch is helping to sustain 1er sales with customers migrating to the X2 as well as the Active Tourer.
