The new BMW X1 has been spied testing its dynamic abilities in icy conditions.

According to the spies at, www.worldcarfans.com, the new model will be slightly longer and lower than the current model.

The website’s spies also say that it’ll be more attractive than the model it replaces and it will feature a 1,5-litre TwinPower four-cylinder engine in various states of tune. Output ranges from 90kW to 165kW.

Front-wheel drive will be standard, with all-wheel drive being an option for the more hardcore softroader enthusiast.

The X1 will likely be unveiled before the end of the year and will go on sale sometime in 2015.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
