The BMW 1 Series is one of the best premium hatchbacks on the market and it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a compact car without compromising on power, performance or comfort. In the most recent models, you’ll get front-wheel drive as standard which gives it much better handling than the previous rear-wheel drive models. On the higher specs, you’ll benefit from 4-wheel drive for better grip and stability.
Known for producing some of the best premium cars on the market, some BMWs have a relatively affordable price tag and are practical enough for everyday life. The 1 Series is one of them, as the brand's entry-level hatchback. It's worth comparing to the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe if you're not sure whether you need a saloon or not.
The updated BMW 1 Series (F70 generation) offers petrol engines, optional all-wheel drive (xDrive), and a focus on comfort. It's mostly petrol-only for the UK, with some petrol/diesel options available in other markets. While suspension is refined, M Sport models feature standard firmer/lowered setups, though adaptive dampers help keep the ride smooth.

The 1 Series has remained a popular choice with drivers ever since it was first introduced and one of the reasons for its success is because it’s a small hatchback, with a premium finish and number of powerful performance engines.
