Every model supposed to be better, faster, stronger, more powerful.
I guess, we should be happy that is not less car like the new X1 versus the old one.
This, while the others are evolving....
Shame!

1) The new X1 is a much better subcompact SUV than the old one was. You can dislike it, but it's better at what it needed to be, period, and even today, three years later, is probably the best vehicle in its class. Again, you are welcome to dislike that class, but it is what it needed to be.
2) The new X5 has a 335hp B58 engine. The old X5 has a 300hp N55. New one 0-60 in 5.3s, which is class leading. Old one, 6.0s. Maybe math works different where you're from, but it is faster and more powerful everywhere other than on your keyboard. |
True, I don't think HP is that important. It is all about efficiency.
