Thanks Everyone for your precious advise Here my Opinion based on experience I got both Bmw x1 2017 M package fully loaded except electric seat and KIA sportage AWD heres my takes on both of them if any other day i again gets a choice between these two i would go for x1 without even thinking for a sec
The driving pleasure and comfort Sportage is not even near BMW I personally never preferred Taking Sportage on long drive because it always make me feel tired and on the other hand x1 felt like i havnt driven even 100Kms i makes lhr-isl trip very often 2 times a week
The power the torque x1 Takes the leads i dont know if someone has felt the same but i felt sportage extremely underpowered and sluggish
Secondly fuel economy Sportage gave me 8-9 in city and 10-11 on long where as X1 give me 12-13 in city and 15-16 on long i can make a round trip in x1 in a single Full tank with even a quarter tank remaining and not even with cruise x1 give me 14-15 on 160-170 Plus the feel at higher speed Stability braking x1 is a no brainer
Thirdly Theirs a misconception of high maintenance of german which i think is a myth because now to date i have kept at-least six german and can say it they are not so heavy on basic maintenance yes if broken the parts are expensive but basic maintenance is almost equal to the respective categories X1 Cost me 10-12K For oil change at every 5K and now i also have an Audi A6 which cost me 18K per 10K kms which i think is reasonable
Yes Sportage had some more room in the back but that didnt made any difference because even with 5 persons we were comfortable
Lastly X1 had plenty of more features then Sportage like Auto parking Auto lights Auto dimming Dual zone climate control even the speaker every who owns sportage knows what they are actually capable of
Sportage is a nice car if you want to use it as a house car it can be driven roughly where as you can not drive x1 that roughly Plus sportage is an All time four wheel drive where as x1 is a FWD Sportage has Downhill assist which x1 also lacks
Thats my take on both of them anyone can differ this is just my point of view Peace everyone
