Compare the BMW X1 vs Chery Tiggo 8
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Chery Tiggo 8 gives you a third row of seats, whereas the BMW X1 does not. You will find that both cars are noisy on the motorway, with the X1 producing noticeable wind and road noise, while the Tiggo 8 is noisy and does not settle down. When you take them onto twisty roads, all X1 models are good fun and the car does not lean too much even in its normal comfort setting. In contrast, the Tiggo 8 really disappoints on twisty roads, leaning an awful lot around bends on a country lane.
