The four-cylinder diesel engines in the BMW X1.

Diesel engines are still good for surprises. The BMW TwinPower Turbo drive trains in the BMW X1 sDrive20d EfficientDynamics Edition and xDrive23d combine high dynamics with low consumption. The basis for this is an innovative technology package made up of common rail direct injection and Twin with variable nozzle turbocharger. Alongside the ultra-lightweight aluminium engine block, two different-sized turbochargers are deployed sequentially to deliver blistering power of up to 150 kW (204 hp) at any speed range in the xDrive23d. At the same time, fuel consumption is a surprisingly frugal 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres in the sDrive20d EfficientDynamics. The diesel engines in the BMW, , sDrive20d and xDrive20d guarantee a swift response and massive torque: the engines use a third generation common rail fuel injection system and boast an impressive ratio of performance (up to 130 kW/177 hp) to consumption (from 5.3 – 5.8 l/100 km).
