The BMW X1 has been called many things, even by the company that makes it. This vehicle performs in the compact crossover SUV class as one of the most impressive small vehicles that sits up higher on the road, but it really doesn’t have any utility to speak of. Instead, BMW prefers to call this an SAV, which stands for Sport Activity Vehicle, giving the X1 the right name and title and showing that it doesn’t have to be a utility model to be an admirable vehicle to drive on the road.
