Small Luxury SUV Sales And Midsize Luxury SUV Sales In America - March 2012

Midsize Luxury SUV 
Sales Chart March 2012

27% of the BMWs sold in the United States in the first quarter of 2012 were SAVs. North of the border, where BMW also sells the smaller soon-to-be-on-sale-in-America X1, the company's so-called sport-activity vehicles accounted for 47% of the brand's volume in the same period. 

Expect to see the crossover/SUV portion of BMW's U.S. volume to grow once the X1 arrives, but will it increase to the point where nearly half of all BMWs sold in America aren't cars? It seems unlikely, yet in pre-X1 2010, BMW Canada's sport-activity vehicles only made up 29% of the brand's total volume. There's still no production X Coupe on the horizon, sadly. Or happily. It's subjective.
