Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

BMW X1 LWB
- Road presence: Sharp design and longer wheelbase aids in presence.
- Space: Rear seat is best in class with abundance of space.
- Ride quality: Comfortable on broken roads and planted at higher speeds.
- Interior: Dual-tone theme, leatherette materials and metal textures feel rich.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch: Gets red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- Fun-to-drive: The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds.
- Handles like a pro: Feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

BMW X1 LWB
- Ventilated seats should’ve been offered at the price point.
- No diesel engine option with the long-wheelbase
- No paddle shifters for manual control.
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Inconsistent cabin quality: While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- Missing features: Does not get leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
