The Crossover That Keeps Crossing Over: The BMW X1

Not to confused for an SUV or a station-wagon, the all-new 2013 X1 from BMW has car aficionados scratching their heads as they look for the proper label for the new car aside from the vague "crossover" label. Riding lower to the ground than its SUV counterparts, yet not low enough to be considered a station wagon (it's still higher than a regular car), the X1 blends utility with luxury in a high performance package. Even with its "reduced fat" exterior appearance, the X1 boasts of a spacious-yet-manageable interior. With enough room for passengers to feel comfortable on longer outings, yet cozy enough to keep cargo within arm's reach of the front seat (with a little bit of wiggling, of course), the 2013 X1 meshes the worlds of high performance European automotive engineering with a utilitarian side that makes sense for the entire family.
