The most affordable BMW model with Kia design shown in new photos

Crossovers are now at the peak of popularity. This also applies to BMW. Behind the endless stream of similar cars, the Bavarian brand managed to surprise with its most affordable model - the BMW 1 series hatchback. The car after modernization was shown in new photos.

As OBOZ.UA reminds, the new BMW 1 series of the 2025 model year has a neater style, similar to the new BMW 3 series, which was also recently shown after restyling. However, the similarities were found not only with the neighbors in the model line.

The front bumper has been replaced, the shape of the headlights and the design of the front grille have changed. This decision was previously considered by Carscoops journalists to be similar to Kia's branded grille. In particular, the analogy was drawn to the Kia Ceed hatchback of similar dimensions, which received this design six years ago.

A lot has changed in the interior of the BMW 1 Series. The design and finishing materials have been changed, an upgraded multimedia system and two large monitors on the front panel have been installed. It's just like the company's older models.

Engines of the BMW 1 series 2025 model year:

• gasoline 1.5 L (170 hp);
• gasoline 2 liter (300 hp);
• 2 liter diesel (150 hp);
• 2 liter diesel (163 hp).
