Hyundai Ioniq 5 vs BMW X1 [2010-2012]

Hyundai's all-new Ioniq 5 is a rear-wheel drive, fun-to-drive, oversized hatchback that warms your heart every time you look at it; especially in person. Here's what we think after spending sometime with it in Goa.

December 2010 was a great month for BMW as it unveiled a product that was its cheapest yet, the X1. But, the trust in BMW ensured buyers did not look down upon it; instead they jumped at it. The result was massive bookings and a long wait of several months to drive one out of the showrooms. Sceptics however, say it’s common for any new car to witness such response; first few months are after all called the honeymoon period for a new car for a reason. The question then is, is the X1 as good as one expects a BMW to be? Is it fun to drive? And do its booming sales, actually make it worth owning? To find out, we drove the baby BMW, the X1.
