BMW realized the importance of the segment and hopes to boost up sales with the new face lifted X1.

The face lifted X1 gets:

The face lifted X1 will be launched on February

Audi Q3 ate up most off BMW X1s share in Entry level Luxury SUV market. Audi Q3 although 4 lakhs expensive than X1 offers a better package. It is more practical and offers Audi all wheel drive option. With the new X BMW expects to take back the past Glory. The new X1 will get some changes to the front and rear bumper.

The Mercedes Benz B class cheapest Mercedes on India is a large hatchback but it seems like a more sensible option than BMW X1.The B class is more practical and affordable than X1 even if it is not an SUV.XI must face further competition from from the upcoming Volvo V40 cross country which will be priced between 25 and 30 lakhs.

The Question is that will the minor face lift be enough for X1 to stand on ground again. I think X1 requires a major upgrade to heal the scars. What is your opinion?Please let me know them through comments.
