The 2026 BMW 1 Series 118 is a front-wheel-drive compact hatchback suited to city drivers and first-time premium buyers seeking German engineering and style, offering a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 115kW and 230Nm with respectable 6.4L/100km fuel economy. Its standout strength is the four-star ANCAP safety rating combined with BMW's five-year warranty, delivering peace of mind alongside premium brand appeal in the competitive compact hatch segment. One thing to consider is the modest 380-litre boot, which means it's best suited to individuals or couples rather than families needing frequent cargo space.

The 2026 BMW 1 Series 120 is a front-wheel-drive hatchback designed for buyers wanting premium brand appeal with practical everyday functionality, offering 380 litres of boot space and five seats in a compact package. Its standout strength is the combination of a fuel-efficient 2.0-litre petrol engine delivering 130kW and 280Nm with a claimed 6.3L/100km consumption, backed by a five-year warranty and four-star ANCAP safety rating. One thing to consider: while running costs average around $2875 annually and it can tow 1000kg, you're paying a premium for the BMW badge compared to equivalent non-luxury competitors in this segment.
