BMW's entry-level model is the 1 Series, specifically the 118 as it’s now known, which starts from $56,500 before on-road costs.
It comes with features like a 10.25-inch multimedia touchscreen and 10.7-inch driver display as standard, as well as wireless phone charging, heated electric seats in synthetic leather, adaptive suspension and an M Sport pack.
There’s also adaptive LED headlights, high beam assist, a head-up display, speed limit recognition and tyre pressure monitoring.
Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine makes 115kW and 230Nm, and drives the front wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. BMW says it’ll hit 100km/h in 8.5 seconds.
The 118 will sip 6.4 litres of recommended 95 RON fuel for every 100km covered, according to BMW, and has a 49-litre fuel tank capacity.
There’s plenty of active safety in the new 1 Series, new kit includes an updated 'Driving Assistant Plus', though it hasn’t been tested by ANCAP since its previous generation in 2019, which scored five stars.
