I own both - I replaced two cars last year for an X1 and an Evoque. The Evoque is far more comfortable and spacious, while the X1 is far more nimble and aggressive.
Both turned out to be excellent winter cars, by the way. Even with 12" snow and no plowing, both handled admirably.
The X1 gets a plus for the way it four-wheel-slides in a very controlled manner.
The Evoque for how the magneto suspension rolls over ice chunks without complaint, and how it can run at extremely low speeds without spinning. And the front windshield de-icing wires are just awesome.
A minus to the X1 for the door construction, where snow on the roof falls down into the seats when the doors are opened. And for not having a heated M steering wheel.
But boy, is the X1 fun to toss around corners on snow and ice. It's likely due to the near perfect weight balance between front and rear, and the hydraulic steering doesn't hurt either.
