Video: 2010 BMW X1 caught winter testing

The next couple of years will be very busy for BMW as it launches a handful of new models including new versions of current top sellers and some models we’ve never seen before. The new X1, revealed in this latest spy video released by BMW, falls into the latter category and will take the carmaker into the compact SUV market currently dominated by the likes of the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. The new clip, plus previous renderings and spy shots, show that BMW designers will stick closely to the lines of the Concept X1 showcased at October's Paris Motor Show. The new X1’s running gear is based on the 1-series compact car but its ride height will be taller.
