I have a friend who is replacing a BMW X5 with a Hyundai Pallisade because he thinks it is at least as good a car for a lot less. If BMW wants to sell premium performance cars, it must actually do that.

BUT...I am sure it will sell a boatload of them no matter what I think.

I've hired the Hyundai equivalent of the Niro (remember, they're essentially the same company and car)... the Kona is quite a nice car to drive and has a lot of kit as standard. However, it's very cheap and plasticy inside, nowhere near the quality of a BMW.

I'm waiting to see what kind of X1 hybrid I can get on my company car scheme - it'll be a choice between the X1 25e or the 330e MSport for me.
