Powertrain and Performance
The BMW X1 offers an array of engine options, including diesel, petrol, and hybrid options, with power outputs ranging from 150 to a staggering 326 HP. Engine types such as Diesel MHEV and Plugin Hybrid provide a balanced approach to efficiency and performance. The power delivery is smooth thanks to the dual-clutch automatic transmission, allowing the X1 to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in as little as 5.4 seconds for the high-performance variants. Fuel consumption varies from 4.6 to 7.7 L/100km, making it relatively efficient for its class.
On the other hand, the VW Tiguan has its own strengths. With a range of petrol and diesel engines, power spans from 130 to 272 HP. The most powerful variants can achieve similar acceleration benchmarks, going from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds. Moreover, fuel consumption ranges from 5.3 to 8.5 L/100km. The Tiguan also benefits from advanced hybrid options, including a Plugin Hybrid with an impressive electric range of up to 113 km, aided by a robust 19.7 kWh battery capacity.
