Upcoming Cars in 2011 BMW X1 Preview

BMW is taking a new twist to the SUV starting in late 2010 with the introduction of the X1 mini-SUV. “Cute” may be used to describe this min cousin to the BMW X3 from the outside, but that appellation won’t last long after you see the interior and experience this car on the road.

Upcoming Cars in 2011 BMW X1 Specifications

Closely related to the large X3 series, the X1 will be 2.8 inches shorter than the wagon in the 3-Series and a whole 4.5-inches shorter than the larger and more off-road capable X3. Specifications are as follows:

Pricing: Expect a starting price in the $36,000 range.
Engine: This mini-SUV will be powered by a 260 horsepower 3.0-liter inline-six . There is no telling if a diesel will be made available in the States, though it is sure to make its appearance in the European markets.
Fuel Economy: Fuel-economy for the Upcoming Cars in 2011 X1 is not released yet, but it should be somewhere close to 20 miles per gallon city and mid-twenties highway.
Acceleration: Zero to sixty miles per hour in just under seven seconds.
Transmission:6-speed automatic with manual shift controls.
Car Safety Features: Car safety information is not available yet, but BMW’s reputation for designing and building very safe vehicles is not likely to take any hits with the new X1.
Warranty: BMW’s warranty is 4 years/50,000 miles.

Upcoming Cars in 2011 BMW X3 Preview

Looking more like a large, classy station wagon than a crossover SUV, the BMW X3 was, until Upcoming Cars in 2011, the smallest SUV you could buy in the BMW line. Now the X3 has a smaller brother, the BMW X1, and for Upcoming Cars in 2011 it gets a long-awaited redesign to help set it just a little further apart.

Specifications

The new X3 will be just a bit larger than the 2010 model in addition to the following specs that will help to further set it apart from the incoming X1:

Pricing: Pricing data is not yet available for the new X3 at the time of this writing, but hopefully BMW will see fit to bring the price down a tad from its 2010 $38,850 MSRP.
Engine: A 2.0 and 3.0-liter V4 or V6 engine is expected to power the X3 for Upcoming Cars in 2011.
Fuel Economy: Fuel range should be around 17/24 miles per gallon city and highway.
Acceleration: Zero to sixty miles per hour is accomplished in a brisk 7.2 seconds
Transmission:The X3 will probably keep its six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission options for buyers.
Car Safety Features: Standard safety features includes an automatic brake drying system for the antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags, active front-seat head restraints, full-length side curtain airbags, and hill descent control.
Warranty: BMW’s 4-year, 50,000 mile warranty

The World Of Green Cars

Before the start of 2011 the first mass-market electric vehicles are about to go on sale in selected cities, kicking off the beginning of a wave of new green vehicles.
The Chevrolet Volt, from General Motors and the Leaf, from Nissan both launching in December, are just the beginning of the electrification trend. At least eight hybrids and 12 plug-in electric cars in every price range are planned for 2011, with another batch of electric vehicles (EVs) expected in 2012.

The rollout of these vehicles will be regional, starting with California and a handful of other states, including New York, Texas, Washington, Oregon, Arizona and Tennessee, among others. It could be several years before EVs are readily available across America. Each employs different powertrain technologies, so it pays to do your research at sites like www.hybridcars.com or pluginamerica.org.
But here are the basics:
A hybrid, as the name suggests, uses both a gasoline engine and electric motor to power the car, switching back and forth as necessary. A plug-in hybrid is similar, but comes with a larger battery that allows the vehicle to travel solely on electric power for short hops, but not for long stretches. An extended-range electric vehicle, like the Volt, can go up to 40 or so miles on electricity, after which a small gasoline motor kicks in to recharge the battery and keep driving. A pure EV, like the Leaf, runs solely on electricity and needs to be recharged every 100 miles or so.

When it comes to hybrids, Toyota's Prius is the only one anyone ever really talks about, so it might surprise you that there are 27 other hybrid models already on the market today, including hybrid versions of the BMW 7-series, Mercedes S-class and Lexus LS.

Many more are coming. They include luxury cars like the recently introduced Porsche Cayenne S hybrid SUV, which, at $67,700, sells for about $4,000 more than the gasoline version of Porsche's bestselling vehicle, and the Lexus CT 200h compact, due in early 2011, which is aimed at a younger, Gen-X crowd, and will likely be priced under $32,000.
German carmakers, which had been trying to steer more Americans to clean diesels, are now making a big push on hybrids and plug-ins, too. A hybrid version of the Volkswagen Touareg SUV comes out next month, followed by a hybrid VW Jetta small car in 2012.

Meanwhile, virtually every carmaker, including many industry newcomers, is working on some sort of electric plug-in car, though not every company is ready to take them into the mass market. They're rolling them out slowly, to utilities and government fleets, until there's a charging network that can support them.

Some exceptions: The Coda sedan is an electric vehicle assembled in California with parts imported from China that will sell for $44,900. A federal tax rebate will bring the cost down to $37,400, and buyers could be eligible for additional state and local incentives. The car will be marketed through a unique network of retail stores and delivered to customers in person. The first deliveries are expected before the end of the year, and Coda says it plans to produce 14,000 by the end of 2011.

Another small company with big plans is Think, based in the Netherlands. It's building its tiny Think City at a factory in Indianapolis, which is expected to sell for about $34,000 when it goes on sale next year. Think plans to sell 2,000 to 3,000 of the cars in 2011.

Ford Motor hasn't even started selling its next-generation Focus compact (it goes on sale at the start of the year), but it's already planning an electric version. The Focus EV will go on sale in late 2011, and will be manufactured alongside the gasoline version at a factory in Michigan. Chrysler, controlled by Italy's Fiat , will sell the Fiat e500, a plug-in version of Fiat's cute 500 city car, beginning in 2012.

Toyota, which sold an electric version of its Rav4 SUV a decade ago, is now working on the second generation with help from Tesla, the Silicon Valley startup that markets a $100,000 electric roadster. Tesla will build and supply the lithium-ion battery pack and other components. A small fleet of new Rav4 EVs will be tested in 2011, with the expected full-market launch expected in 2012.
