Compare the BMW X1 vs Nissan Qashqai
AI generated from our expert reviews
On a twisty road, all BMW X1 models are good fun, whereas you should not expect any fun on a country lane in the Nissan Qashqai. Even so, neither car leans too much in bends, and larger wheels mean you get some tyre noise or roar in both. Inside, the Qashqai provides a full panel of climate controls underneath the touchscreen. By contrast, the X1 gets rid of physical climate buttons in favour of touch controls on the screen instead, which are rather fiddly to use on the move.
