320-HP BMW X1 With Minions Livery Sounds Despicable 4 Jun 2021, 12:40 UTC ·

The X1 is one of the few BMWs that aren t available with a proper M package. Sure, you can order it with a range of sporty accessories designed by the motorsport-oriented sub-brand, but a full-fledged X1 M model is still forbidden fruit. And this tuned-up X1 with 320 horsepower on tap shows what we re missing. 1 photo
Granted, this isn t the only beefed-up X1 out there. The aftermarket is packed with companies that will inject more oomph into BMW s 2.0-liter four-banger, but this one sports a unique black and yellow wrap with minion characters from the Despicable Me franchise.
Rs 1 lakh
The Countryman is now dearer by up to Rs 1 lakh. Globally unveiled back in mid-2020, the facelifted model comes with refreshed styling and more features.
Most of the cosmetic updates are concentrated at the front thanks to the larger grille (finished in black) and refreshed all-LED headlamps. It also comes with a revised bumper with blacked-out design elements. Save for the Union Jack patterned tail lamps and a refreshed bumper, the rest of the design remains similar. It also gets a new set of alloy wheels, with sizes ranging up to 18-inches.
Save for the new gear lever and the 5.5-inch digital driver’s display, the interior remains similar to the pre-facelifted model. That said, Mini has spruced it up by offering new upholstery colours: Chester Malt Brown and Leather Chester Satellite Grey. Buyers can also opt for the Excitement pack which comes with ambient lighting and a projection of the MINI logo (puddle lamps) from the ORVMs.

Many people associate the Volvo brand with staid, sensible estate cars. Large and boxy family haulers that can withstand most attacks this side of a missile strike. This has earned the Gothenburg-based brand a reputation for exceptionally well-built motor vehicles, with the reliability of a wood burning stove and safety of a tank.
But they weren’t very exciting cars. Certainly, they didn’t attract the more youthful clientele that BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz were drawing in. Still, if you wanted a premium station wagon with high levels of safety, there was only one place to look.
