AI generated from our expert reviews

Up front, you can get comfortable easily in both the BMW X1 and the Toyota C-HR+. Through corners, you will find little in the way of body lean in the X1, while the C-HR+ also benefits from a lack of body lean. Practicality separates them, as the X1 has a bigger boot than the C-HR+. In the back, headroom in the X1 is consistently good wherever the seats are, whereas the sloping roofline of the C-HR+ eats away at a bit of headroom. Operating the controls also differs: the C-HR+ gives you physical heater control dials and shortcut buttons, but the X1 lacks conventional climate control buttons, leaving you with touchscreen menus that can be very fiddly to control when you are on the go.
