BMW 1 series 2007 vs Kia Ceed 2010
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Petrol | 1.6 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (BMW 1 series) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Kia Ceed) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

The Kia Ceed is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification BMW 1 series consumes 2 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Kia Ceed, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the BMW 1 series could require 300 litres more fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, BMW 1 series consumes 2.7 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Kia Ceed. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Kia Ceed) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (BMW 1 series) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 6 years | 15 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including BMW 5 sērija, BMW 3 sērija | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Hyundai i30, Kia Cerato | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Kia Ceed might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| BMW 1 sērija 2007 2.0 engine: The BMW N43 engine is built around a lightweight alloy cylinder block with a twin-cam, 16-valve head. It uses a dual-pump fuel delivery system—one located inside the tank to transfer fuel and supply the high-pressure pump, which then boosts fuel pressure up to 200 bar. Notably, the system lacks a fine fuel filter and relies only on a ... More about BMW 1 sērija 2007 2.0 engine | |||
