Overall rating 4/5This smart hatchback is known for its upscale feel and excellent build quality, making it a favourite of drivers seeking both fun and function. The BMW 120, part of the award-winning 1 Series, delivers a premium experience in a family-sized hatchback with responsive handling, high-quality interior, and strong diesel engines like the 120d that combine punchy performance with decent running costs. Earlier models offer rear-wheel drive and a sporty edge, while later models switch to front-wheel drive for improved cabin and boot space. It remains distinctive and well-built compared to rivals such as the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class, featuring advanced infotainment and strong safety credentials.
