Compare the Hyundai Tucson vs BMW X1
AI generated from our expert reviews
If carrying capacity is key, the Hyundai Tucson gives you more space than the BMW X1 when you fold the rear seats down. In the back of both cars, passengers get two USB-C ports to keep their devices charged. Move to the front, and their control layouts diverge. The Tucson retains separate electronic buttons for the heater that sit flush with the dashboard, whereas the X1 does without conventional climate buttons, burying controls in touchscreen menus that can be very fiddly when you are on the go. When you want some entertainment behind the wheel, all X1 models are good fun on a twisty road. By comparison, you should not expect any fun on a country lane in the Tucson, even if you choose its powerful plug-in hybrid version.
