Compare the BMW X1 vs Chery Tiggo 9
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Chery Tiggo 9 is longer and more powerful than the BMW X1, and it features a third row of seats that the X1 does not offer. Around town, the X1 is pretty easy to use, whereas the Tiggo 9 can feel a bit cumbersome. When you head onto a twisty road, both cars suffer from a lack of steering feedback about what the front wheels are doing. However, they handle corners differently: even in its normal comfort setting the X1 does not lean too much, while the soft suspension of the Tiggo 9 means it leans a lot in the bends.
