Compare the BMW X1 vs Dacia Bigster
AI generated from our expert reviews
If carrying capacity is your priority, the Dacia Bigster has a bigger boot than the BMW X1, as well as more room with the back seats folded. Lowering those rear seats is easy from the back of the Bigster thanks to handy catches, whereas the X1 offers no way to fold them from the rear. In the cabin, the Bigster retains full physical climate controls, whereas the X1 relies on touchscreen controls that are fiddly on the move. When cruising at speed, you will notice some wind noise in both cars. Neither model provides much steering feedback either, leaving you with little-to-no feel for what the front wheels are doing.
