BMW X1
VS
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is the clever, family-focused MPV that swaps SUV posturing for genuinely useful space and a lower, car‑like ride, while the BMW X1 dresses up as a compact SUV with higher seating, tougher styling and a bit more composure on rutted roads. Pick the 2 Series for easy access, clever packaging and relaxed refinement; choose the X1 if you want presence, a firmer ride and the kind of image that makes neighbours do a double‑take.
Honda Jazz
Toyota Yaris Cross
VS
Small and sensible, the Honda Jazz is a masterclass in clever packaging — airy rear seats, Magic Seat flexibility and effortless economy make it the practical everyman’s champion, even if it lacks SUV swagger. The Toyota Yaris Cross, by contrast, trades some of that interior generosity for a taller stance, sharper looks, and available AWD and safety tech, so choose it if you want crossover chic and confidence on rougher roads rather than maximum boot space.

Think of the HR-V as the SUVs' extrovert — taller stance, more boot space and a confident road presence — while the Jazz is the clever, city‑savvy hatch that hides a brilliant, flexible cabin and frugal running costs. Choose the HR-V if you need space and SUV style; pick the Jazz if you value manoeuvrability, packaging genius and lower bills — either way, you get Honda reliability with two very different personalities.
