Future BMW X1 and Mini countryman to share platforms

The next generation BMW X1 comes sometime around 2015, it will be based on front - wheel drive architecture, sharing its platform with the Mini Countryman. This is not new news stories and editorials have been parsing BMW's FWD plan for more than a year, and in 2011 April, CEO Ian Robertson announced there could be six to nine latest BMW and Mini models as part of a "compact car family" based on a common platform. 

A report in Auto car about the switch adds a few more particulars, though. In addition to the cost profits from this arrangement, the next X1 will lose its six-cylinder engines but provide more room. The transverse-mounted engines preclude the six-pot unless BMW redesigns it, so strategies are for nothing any bigger than four cylinders and possibly the 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder power plant slated for the 1 Series GT. A Haldex clutch will carry on to provide AWD facility and the upshot with the smaller engine bay and firewall moved ahead is more room for passengers and cargo. 

The stage is referred to as "UKL," for Unter Klasse (Under Class), and its place in the product portfolio is it seems that more complex than simply saying it will form the basis for small Mini and BMW models: stories suggest it has been built with the suppleness to underpin the next generation 1 Series as well as the next generation 3 Series. No, that does not mean the advent of a front-wheel drive 3 Series, since the UKL stage was reportedly designed with features like a movable firewall support enabling transverse and longitudinal engines as well as FWD, AWD and RWD power trains. It does, however, mean the ads showing "This is why we don't make front-wheel drive cars" will most likely never surface again.

Honda N600 derived retro city car exposed?

A wave of images showing what looks like a new kei car from Honda has appeared online. The small sized five-door looks to have borrowed its lines from the N Concept 4 that the Japanese automaker first showed off at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. That funky little engine raised design elements from the beloved Honda N360/N600 of the late 60s and early 70s. 

This growth comes as no shock, as Honda official told us in November that the concept's warm reception would lead to a manufacture model. These black-and-white images look to be raised from patent filings, although there are no strong details available. That has not blocked the web from guessing about the whole thing from final dimensions to what's under the hood. Japan has severe regulations governing what can actually be considered a kei car, which means this retro-seeming creation will almost surely be no more than 133 inches long and 58 inches broad. 

Also in-line with kei-class system, the vehicle will likely show off a 660cc VTEC four-cylinder engine good for around 64 horsepower, though we won't know for certain until Honda discloses the official reports on the finished product. Don't wait for to see this engine on our shores, however. With its small size and output, odds are this one will continue to set aside for the Japanese market.
