Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW X1 than in the Hyundai Kona EV. The BMW X1 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Kona EV, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW X1 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Hyundai Kona EV.

Dimensions
The BMW X1 is a little wider than the Hyundai Kona EV, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the BMW X1, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Kona EV.

Handling
The BMW X1 has a larger turning radius than the Hyundai Kona EV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW X1 has a little more horsepower than the Hyundai Kona EV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the BMW X1 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Hyundai Kona EV.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X1 and the Hyundai Kona EV. With the BMW X1, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Hyundai Kona EV.
