Compare the BMW X1 vs Hyundai Kona
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the BMW X1 and the Hyundai Kona give taller passengers plenty of headroom and legroom in the rear seats. When tackling twisty roads, both feature direct steering that gives you little feel for tyre grip. For carrying larger loads, the X1 provides more space with the back seats folded down. When you want to adjust the temperature on the move, the Kona provides dashboard buttons that make it quick and easy, whereas the X1 has no conventional climate buttons and uses touchscreen menus that can be very fiddly on the go. When cruising on the motorway, the Kona benefits from little wind and road noise, while the X1 can produce some wind noise alongside tyre roar on larger wheels.
