After a small SUV? Luckily for you, the market is awash with them - here's our list of the ten best you can buy
Like all of us, the BMW X1 has been getting larger as it gets older. In fact, the latest third generation version of the small SUV that debuted in 2022 is now only a biscuit shorter than the original X3 - a car that's theoretically in the class above. Still, this swelling in size is good news for those with growing families, because it means you can fit more people and things inside.
Built on the same UKL platform as the 2 Series Active Tourer, the X1 gets a wide range of engines, from mild hybrid-assisted petrols and diesels through to a pair of plug-ins and even an all-electriccomplete with a handy claimed range of 272 miles. Regardless of motive force, the BMW is a composed and capable steer but perhaps not the very embodiment of the 'ultimate driving machine' that the brands marketeers would have you believe.
And for the most part, it does. There's little here for keen drivers, and both the 1.3-litre petrol mild-hybrid and novel 'self-charging' e-power range-extender-style hybrid are a little breathless, but what did you expect? Performance and handling aren't what the Qashqai is about, and as one tester put it,"it's very thoughtfully designed for families, well-equipped and costs peanuts to buy and run".
Convenience is everything, but while you have the Qashqai in two-pedal form and with a CVT gearbox, we'd go for the manual, simply because it improved the car's rolling refinement. A game-changing effort? Not any more, but a demonstration that Nissan knows its customers extremely well. It'll be difficult to beat among the non-premium ranks.
