BMW Australia has announced two new models to the 1 and 2 Series lineups, with the 150kW 120 and 220 now on sale locally ahead of the first deliveries due in July.

Centre of the 120 and 220 is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine making 150kW of power and 300Nm of torque - a considerable jump on the lower-spec 118 and 218’s 115kW/230Nm outputs.

Like the 118 and 218, the 120 and 220’s engine is paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and both cars remain front-wheel drive. The claimed 0-100km/h time is 7.2 seconds for the 120 and 7.3 seconds for the 220.

In addition to the engine, the 120 and 220 add more standard equipment, including adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality, while all 1 Series and 2 Series variants will also add an illuminated grille from March 2025 production.
