The passenger compartment of the 1-series remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. BMW showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants ofdifferent sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver was good or adequate.Protection of the rear passenger was good apart from the chest, for which dummy readings of compression indicated weak protection. Thecar scored maximum points in both side impact tests, with good protection of all critical body areas in both the barrier impact and the moresevere pole test. A geometric assessment of the rear seats and head restraints indicated good protection against whiplash injuries in theevent of a rear-end collision. Tests on the front seats demonstrated only marginal whiplash protection. The autonomous emergencybraking system performed well in all tests of its functionality at the low speeds typical of city driving. However, the points for AEB City werenot awarded as good front head restraint performance is a pre-requisite for the additional reward for active safety.
The arrival of the all-new BMW 1-Series heralds the dawn of a new era. The third generation of the successful premium compact model draws back the curtain on the new BMW front-wheel-drive architecture, which fuses BMW's signature driving pleasure and dynamic excellence with a significant increase in interior space. Sporty, cool, safe and classy, sprinkled with fresh design and the latest in connectivity, the new BMW 1-Series is a proper BMW with a strong character all its own.The third generation of the BMW 1-Series will be unveiled to the public for the first time on the new BMW Group #NEXTGen presentation platform at BMW Welt in Munich. Hosting the show premiere of the new BMW 1-Series, meanwhile, will be the IAA event in Frankfurt am Main in September 2019. The worldwide launch will get underway on 28 September 2019.Cutting-edge chassis system and innovative technologies, plus the integration of all key driving dynamics components and control systems, imbue the BMW 1-Series with an increase in agility that drivers of cars both with the new front-wheel-drive configuration and BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive will clearly recognise. To this end, a five-year process of development saw BMW channel all the experience amassed over recent years by the BMW Group with front-wheel-drive technology in other models into the new BMW 1-Series. The result is a dynamic sharpness which is unprecedented in front-wheel-drive cars and with which it sets new standards in the premium compact class. In addition, the new BMW front-wheel-drive architecture allows the third-generation 1-Series to offer substantially improved levels of interior space - in particular for passengers in the rear - and a larger load compartment.
