Test drive BMW 1 series F20 since 2011 hatchback
BMW 1st series. Kurare's poison, or extinguish light
The number of employees in Mail.ru is approaching 2000 a good focus group, right? When we published photos and the first information about the new unit BMW on our project, it seems that there were no indifferent among our colleagues. In the smoke breaks and at dinner, they approached/winked/asked/asked, they say, how do you need it? I answered something, they say, I need to look live, touch, travel in different modes and at least just sleep with it, but they listened to me abstractly. The visual impulse was obtained, and it is brighter than any of my arguments. The photographs did their job, the designers launched Yad Kurara’s sizes, and he immediately began to act.
The new unit is longer than the predecessor by 85 mm. The hood stretched, the base and width increased. Look at the profile and understand? Ba-ah! Yes, this is three, only without trunk. In the background, the Berlin Wall from East Berlin
The colleagues themselves, without knowing the interesting thing, without knowing, divided into two camps of those who can’t, as they like, and those who do not like horror. And one of my comrade, regarding the new unit, was generally betrayed by Perl the spilled Khryun Morzhov! I remembered! And it really seems to be. Who forgot, Khryun, this funny animated character from the old stupid program stew the light. So, dear friends, what I want to say: stew the light. Let's at least try to abstract a little from the video and deal with giblets without taking appearance. Especially for you, I went to Berlin and tried the new 1 Series in business. So stew the light and listen.
Individualization! In addition to the usual version of the one, you can choose two options: Sport Line and Urban Line.
On this collage, the option of Sport Line. The vertical straps of the nostrils, the horizontal jumper of the central air intake, the framing of the side air intakes, the nozzle on the exhaust pipe and the rear bumper overlay are made of black glossy plastic. 16-inch discs here by default. As an option, 17th two-tone discs and black glossy mirrors are offered. Sports interior with red stitching, plastic decorative inserts a combination of black gloss and matte coral. The backlight in the cabin provides the possibility of switching between orange and white options.
Adaptive rotary light is available only with optional xenon headlights. Turning on-turning off high light can be carried out automatically. Fog at low speeds also highlight the inner part of the turns
After landing at Tegel Airport, I go to the ADAC Driving Safety Center training ground, where part of the test drive is planned. Repair repairs, two hours crushed wavy asphalt of the field paths interspersed with high -speed autobahns, the behavior of one puzzles, I do not recognize the familiar chassis (the second generation of the first series is on the same platform, only stretched). The baby is still harsh. The steer steering wheel (despite the Variable Sport Steering mechanism that changes the gear ratio in the drive), and the lack of parasitic efforts on the steering wheel with intense acceleration pleases thanks to the rear -wheel drive transmission! The habits have become more mature. Nervous shaking during the passage of broken asphalt is noticeably smaller, potholes with sharp edges are generally unnoticed. And this despite the fact that the new body is easier than that of the predecessor!
Urban Line execution option. Nostrils, a jumper of the air intake and the overlay on the rear bumper here are white. White cases of mirrors and wheels with 17-inch disks are optionally available instead of full-time 16-inch. The interior has decorative inserts of white acrylic, the lights of the cabin can be orange or blue.
Side rotation signs now (for the first time) in external mirrors
Comfort increased thanks to several things.
First: a new penny was equipped with lighter and more impenetrable Run Flat tires. They extinguish shots a little better (the sidewalls are now not so thick and oak), while the unsubstantiated masses have decreased significantly. This means that the peaks of vertical accelerations on the back of the body were fed less than the wheels on the body as abnormal. On an uneven coating, this inevitably led to a decrease in the clutch in the stain of contact during compression, and under the influence of lateral force, the car was lost from the trajectory more willingly
Subtlerings are smaller than emergency range, on the Ranflet cylinder without pressure, you can now drive no more than a hundred kilometers, earlier it was possible to wave at least twice as much. The engineers considered such a margin of safety for European machines to be too large, here the tire fitting is almost at every step (an example for Russia). But what is the progress in controllability, stability and comfort!
Second: the characteristics of damping and elastic elements are revised. The main shock absorbers here, during compression, they create less resistance. To compensate for this, the engineers had to increase the hardness of reptile stabilizers. But still, in corners, the car falls on the side more than willingly.
The mass of one, depending on the version, decreased from 12 to 30 kg. The stiffness of the torsion body increased by almost 10%
Even the basic units make it possible to conjure with the settings of the chassis and the power unit. On more advanced versions are four pre -installations: Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport and Sport+ change the severity of the gas pedal, the efficiency of the electrical power and move the threshold of the system of dynamic stabilization. On variations equipped with an active suspension, the rigidity of Tenneco shock absorbers changes according to the four installations. In Sport and Sport+ the car is the most rigid. Just right, for an energetic drive, by the way, a penny is burnt in these modes. But if you go in sports constantly, soon you will need to change the vertebrae of the lumbar region to carbon. Comfort is in a hurry to help on a broken asphalt. What is there, potholes? Moys? Do not care. But even here it is not completely smooth, weakened shock absorbers sometimes allow the wrong masses to reach the body
The ADAC Driving Safety Center landfill is sharpened for the development of contrasting programs in various conditions. They come here on cars, and on motorcycles, and on trucks. There are several large venues and a good composed track with a non -cheating height difference, one of its looped areas with water flooded with stilettos is completely at our disposal.
Devices of the classic of the genre from BMW. Informativity is beautiful. In the lower part of a large color display, on which the information of the on -board computer is displayed, the tracking system for road signs and the indication of the chassis operating modes. Navigation tips are also displayed here. On top between the speedometer and tachometer scale indicator, which monitors the marking. If the driver crosses the marking line without the turning point on, the indicator will begin to blink, and the vibratingum will turn on in the steering wheel of the steering wheel. The unit does not know how to independently correct the trajectory. Active cruise control is available as an option, which first warns with the indicator about a possible collision, and then independently slows down the car.
Efficentdynamics is an ideology that combines a number of fuel -saving technologies and means:
Reduced tires
Oil and fuel pump operating according to special algorithms that allow reducing energy costs
Electricity recovery. The generator produces electricity, charges the battery and nourishes on -board consumers only when the engine speed falls
Mechanically disconnected air conditioning compressor
Auto Start/Stop system
Eco Pro mode. The engine and gearbox in this mode begin to work according to the economical program, in addition, the operation of the heating, air conditioning system, heating external mirrors, rear windows and seats are configured for maximum consumption reduction. A special indication of the ECO Pro (from the bottom of the tachometer) inform the driver about the consumed calories, margins and prompts the moments of timely gear shift (if the box is mechanical)
Well, go ahead? From circle to circle I increase the pace and understand, the unit, in fact, remained with itself. A perfectly balanced tool allows you to do everything that will please. Both on dry asphalt, and in water flooded with water, the hatchback is neutral, in lateral sliding the penny squeezes out at once by both axes. But even in the skid it is easier to put it, it is enough to slightly besiege the car with a brake before turning. A competent driver, who knows the subtleties of balancing management, will receive a lot of pleasure from this chassis. The main thing is not to overdo it at the output of gas, otherwise you will greatly fail the rear axle into the skid. However, if the electronics is not disconnected, the track control will not give it to shut up. However, you will lose time.
The climate in a penny is dual -zone, and the air temperature passing through the front and rear central deflectors can be adjusted separately with special wheels, this is already a traditional BMW chip.
The presets of the multimedia system are button, but they are also sensory, like on the senior BMW. The keys on the screen jumps out, you just need to touched them.
From below in the middle of the I-Drive multimedia washer. Simple, but to the touch is very convenient
The DSC dynamic stabilization system (it is completely disconnected here) works according to your instructions and comes into work exactly when you indicate it. If you adhere to the right trajectories, the system does not even intervene in the work and allows you to significantly slip out the turn. But it is worth hesitating a little with the steering wheel or pull the steering wheel to the side sharply, as the DSC immediately starts to bite the necessary wheels and instruct the unit on the true path, as far as the adhesion properties allow.
The line of engines of the new BMW 1st series so far consists of four-cylinder units. As part of the test, it was possible to get acquainted with two of them with a 1.8-liter diesel engine and a powerful 1.6-liter gasoline unit: compared to predecessors, their power increased by more than 30 hp, and fuel consumption decreased by 2025%.
A modernized 1.8-liter diesel diesel on version 120D in dynamics is enchanting, but gives others and sitting inside the usual tractor rubbing. Thank you for vibrations almost reduced to zero. Behind an amazing reception is a turbine with a minor impeller and a variable geometry of the guide device and the Common Rail ramp with a pressure of 1800 bar. The measures taken to reduce the friction forces and the changed management program allowed the turbo engine to bite to 184 forces (at 4000 rpm, +34 hp compared to its predecessor) and 380 Newton-meters (at 1750-2750 rpm). Acceleration to hundreds of 7.2 seconds with six -speed mechanics and 7.3 seconds with a new eight -speed hydrotransformer automatic machine ZF. Dynamics from the discharge along the pedal top and into the ladies. The expenses made the nape. In a mixed cycle with serious combat bastards in the stream, a diesel odnushka burned 5.1-5.5 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km of path.
Everywhere attention to the little things. This is BMW! Please note that the pocket in the front door is divided into three parts, the little things will always be in its place.
Review of the rear view mirror and the rear window was not so hot what
But a powerful 170-horsepower gasoline version of 118i with a 1.6-liter gasoline turbo engine in a similar mode ate more about 9-10 liters. And it is more boring, despite the fact that the maximum torque of 250 Newtonians develops in the range of 1,500,4500 revolutions per minute. However, without direct injection, phases adjustment systems at the dial and out of the Duble Vanos and the non -and -hubborn intake tract with the Valvetronic gas distribution mechanism, which regulates the valve stroke, it would be even more boring. With mechanics, a shot up to 100 km/h 7.4 seconds, on the machine 7.5. Everything seems to be good in numbers, but the character of the gasoline engine is not at all explosive. I clicked, no turboyam, nor a turbopian, only even acceleration until we cut off, thanks to the Garret Twin Scroll turbine.
The new generation of the BMW of the 1st series is built on the previous platform. The length increased by 80 mm, the base by 35. The front track became more than 51 mm wider, the rear of 72. Engineers do not deny that in the future there will be a full -wheel drive and hybrid versions of the unit.
The front suspension MacPherson with aluminum levers migrated from the previous generation of one. And for the first generation, she was in turn borrowed from the BMW 5th series. The expanded track required amendments to the subframe. The upper part of the racks here is new, if earlier shock absorbers and springs were based on the body through single supports, now their design is such that the load from springs and shock absorbers to the body is transferred separately.
The rear suspension is multi -link. It was borrowed from a penny from the third series
The mechanical box seems to be too stretched for this motor the second gear to 100 km/h spins. By the way, to the drive of the lever of a mechanical checkpoint of a couple of claims. Many will not like the exceptional informativeness of the drive, the vibration on the lever is too great, you feel how the guts of the box spin with your hand. The high clarity of switching is wonderful, but such mechanism is already overkill ...
The deformed 136-horsepower version of the 1.6 turbo engine remained with brackets. Yes, it is more economical, but it causes less interest, unlike a six -cylinder engine, which will be installed on a few later.
The front seats can be with simple adjustments, test machines are equipped with advanced chairs with electric drives, memory, adjustable sidewalls and lumbar support adjustable in two directions. You sit in such a seat as driven.
The front central cup holders can be with a double bottom, if you install plugs in them. The right plug even provides a nest for the key-tank.
The sliding armrest with active steering only interfered with me, so I drove an open box on the track. It does not fit a SLR, but all the necessary connocation here is a connector and a platform for the phone’s dock, AUX input and a USB port. By the way, the second USB port is in a cooled glove box. The A4 folder in the latter is placed only if it is bent with the letter L or with
i-Drive is no less dumped than in seven. In test vehicles, the system was equipped with an optional large -format monitor with a diagonal of 8.8 inches and a tough 16 GB disk, 12 of which are given to your needs.
i-Drive provides Internet access and allows you to condemn the iPhone and other musical players. Thanks to the BMW Apps function, iPhone owners can receive web radio stations, as well as record Facebook and Twitter and display them on an on-board monitor. On the iPhone you can view brief information about your car
The navigation system shows cards taking into account traffic and traffic jams.
i-Drive can be complemented by a DVD chain and a high-class 360 Hi-Fi HARMAN Kardon audio system, but there is also a simpler variation of I-Drive with cut functionality and a small 6.5-inch monitor.
Advanced versions of a unit can be equipped with a rear view camera, which demonstrates the trajectory of movement, and an automatic parking system that can pack the car parallel on both sides of the roadway. To indicate which of the shores you need to park, you must first turn on the corresponding turn signal
The trunk (according to the window sill with vertically installed seats) increased to 360 liters (+30 liters). If you fold the seats, the volume of the cargo compartment will increase to 1300 liters. The standard folding back consists of two parts. If you pay extra, get a back of three parts, broken in a proportion of 40:20:40. It is very convenient, since this gives additional opportunities in the distribution of priorities between the belongings and passengers.
Attention to details. Hooks, eyelets, loops, nets, pockets, rosetta. The trunk is definitely functional and convenient! It is possible to install a vertical mesh-label.
You won’t find a spare wheel underground (the machine is equipped with Run Flat tires, a pump and a sealant), instead of it a battery. All for the sake of perfect weight!
The platform, as already said, is the same. The penny added 85 mm (up to 4324 mm) to the length, the base was stretched by 30 mm (up to 2690 mm). But inside, the length of the salon did not increase much more spacious increased by only 21 mm. A little, but just for me these two centimeters became borderline. With a height of 190 cm in the previous generation, I could not sit behind myself. In the new one, this is already possible. True, there is no need to expect comfort, in the back seat, I sit, as they say, in the lumbar, the lower back is pressed to the back of the rear chair, the knees support the front back. But it became more convenient to sit back, the doorway in the lower part became wider.
In the C-class among premium brands, the competition is perhaps only Audi A3 (from 899,000 rubles)/A3 Sportback (from 923,000 rubles) and hybrid Lexus CT 200h (from 1,244,000 rubles). In Russia, the new five-door BMW of the 1st series will be available from September, and its cost will start from the mark of 875,000 rubles (version 116i). Modification 118i is available in two Urban or Sport trim levels at a price of 995,000 rubles. The standard diesel version in the nameless design of 120D starts from the mark of 1,120,000 rubles, the conceptual versions of Urban and Sport will be added to the cost of 75,000 rubles. Apparently, a compartment, a convertible and three -door hatch of the previous generation with a new five -door at the Bavarian plant in Regensburg will be produced side by side for a long time. When shifts occur, marketers cannot yet orient. But already now they do not deny that a full -wheel drive transmission and a hybrid power plant may appear on a new penny. Everything. Light can be turned on :).
