What class of car is a BMW X1?
I’m moving into my college dorm this fall, but I’m worried I won’t be able to fit all of my things into my BMW X1. Is there an easy way to know how much cargo capacity my car has?

Your vehicle’s class is determined by its cargo capacity and passenger capacity. Essentially, your car’s class is just another way of referring to its overall internal size. While many different organizations have ways of categorizing cars by class, you can use the EPA’s vehicle size classes as a general scale.
According to the U.S. Fuel Economy Guide for SUVs:
- A mini crossover SUV has less than 116 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
- A compact crossover SUV has between 116 and 125 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
- A midsize SUV has between 125 and 140 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
- A full-size SUV has between 140 and 170 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
- A minivan SUV has more than 170 cubic feet of combined passenger and cargo volume
Knowing your vehicle’s class can help you properly plan your finances as your car’s size can affect how much you’ll end up paying for
