If you had the opportunity to read our blog post from last week, it was a nice segue into this week’s topic of the performance capabilities of the new 2017 BMW X1. If you are not familiar with our previous article, its content included an overview of why the BMW X1 holds nearly unlimited potential for addressing the transportation-related lifestyle needs of drivers in Anchorage. Among these potential benefits was the BMW X1 SUV’s outstanding driving capabilities for both winter and summer road conditions. The genesis for that efficient power that you will experience from your new 2017 BMW X1 comes from its 2.0-liter 4-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine with a capable production limit of 228 horsepower and 258 foot-pounds of torque. Moreover, since the engine is a 4-cylinder version, it is highly fuel efficient. Anchorage is already large and spread out, but Alaska is the largest state in the country, so traveling between different areas here often requires putting a lot of miles on your vehicle. With this engine of the BMW X1, you can anticipate both durability and efficiency. However, it also can deliver sufficient power to handle towing snowmobiles are climbing steep slopes to reach a quality camping location or ski hill lodge.
