In my opinion, i always looked at the X1 as a baby version of the X5, they both look similar from the side!
I guess thats the biggest debate, whether or not the X1 is a hatchback, wagon, small SUV, thing.
Most of my friends don't know what to call it.
I usually call it a hatchback to sound cooler!
lol
Could it be that the X1 is like the Chrysler Pacifica? The Pacifica didn't have an exact name. It couldn't be a minivan because it didn't have sliding doors, it was too high to be a wagon, but too low to be an SUV..... it and the X1 are just one of those cars that don't really have a for sure name. Such as the 3 series being a sedan for example.
According to the EPA, they classify it as a "Large Car" but then use the term "hatchback" when describing it's volume..???
Confused yet?
