The X1 resides somewhere the fading hatchback world and the booming crossover business-and at first glance you might think of a 3-Series wagon, mashed a little shorter and lifted a few inches in height. It has a tall ride height, decent amount of ground clearance, and a "go get 'em" look, yet with its shorter wheelbase and small back seat, it's a full step smaller than the X3 crossover, which should still be your choice if you're planning to have adults ride in the back seat. The 2014 BMW X1 appeals to rugged instincts, or perhaps more appropriately, adds confidence to those with snowy driveways. The smallest of the lot, the X1 is sized ideally for urban dwellers that want a higher seating position and all-weather traction to go with the prestigious badge, but don't need the off-road pretensions and don't mind the sticky sticker price. ![]() Even though it's only been in the lineup for two years, the BMW X1 fits in well with BMW's current lineup of crossover vehicles.
