2014 BMW X1 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | BMW makes great sport seats, with support in the right places and power-adjustable side bolsters. This said, those in the X1 Sport Line feel less cushy, and so less overtly comfortable, than I recall from other BMWs. The Evoque's front buckets lack adjustable side bolsters, but feel more luxurious. While the BMW wins on support, the Land Rover wins on comfort. Another tie. Update: when I later had an Evoque for a week its seats felt less comfortable than they had during the dealer test drive. So I'm revising this rating in favor of the BMW. see full BMW X1 review |

Year | Comment | |
The BMW X1's interior dimensions also closely resemble those of the previous-generation 3-Series. Up front, there's a little less space to stretch out than in the X3. But abundant headroom. About half of the X1's additional height is over one's head--you sit only a couple inches higher than in the 3-Series. This additional airspace also distinguishes the X1 from the allroad. Rear seat room could be more of an issue. As in the old 3 and the new allroad, a couple of average-sized adults will fit behind a couple more with perhaps an inch or two of clearance for their knees, while a third would be a squeeze. The seat back reclines, but the seat cushion is too low to provide good thigh support. The Evoque is similarly a less-than-ideal choice for four-plus adults taking a long trip. see full BMW X1 review |

Can fit my two young children with their car seats and my teenage son has room to sit in the back and text for hours. More comfortable seats than my extended cab 1500. see full Hyundai Elantra review |

I find it to be very comfortable. The back seat lacks leg room for three people to fit comfortably. If an adult is in the front then the person behind has little leg room. see full Hyundai Elantra review |

Hard to fit a car seat back there. That should give you some idea. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
