The Germans are coming! Till now, Japanese and American carmakers ruled the premium SUV space here by selling their CRVs, Fortuners, Captivas, Pajeros and Outlanders. They didn’t have to worry about their Deutsche cousins who were sitting pretty in the fat cat segment of the market. But all that will change soon if the Munich-based BMW gets its act right.
The iconic automobile manufacturer is all set to let the cat lose among the pigeons with the X1, its new affordable crossover compact SUV. A BMW India spokesman confirmed that the X1 would be launched here by early 2011.
