Both have their pros and cons.

The Evoque’s main pros is its off-road capability which is the best in it’s class. The next is the brand presence which is 1 spot above the BMW and prices reflect that too.

The cons is of course the tight space, price and patchy build quality.

The X1? It’s cheaper to buy and also cheaper to maintain. Where the Evoque feels like a scaled down Range Rover, the X1 gives the feel of an enlarged 1 series. Nothing too specia about it and for the most part it’s just a car with a BMW badge. Personally for the money I’d put it into a Mini Countryman or a Mercedes GLC or a Volvo XC40.

This.

The XC40 is pretty well specced for it's price. A mildly used GLC should still be rather reliable, compared to a Range Rover or Bimmer. OEM parts are common too.

The X1 on the other hand, doesn't feel like a "true" bimmer, built on the fwd platform shared with the 2 series active tourer.

X1 is just to ride on the SUV hype and try milk from the buyers.
Specs and interior are under-whelming, its only the badge that says BMW..
It is Front Wheel Drive and there are other FWD SUV that provides a better interior, space and specs like Mazda CX-5

There are BMWs that live-up to their brand and also BMWs that just selling basic spec car with their badge to milk from buyers. X1 is one of them.

Yes. Especially the GLS Turbo 2.5 AWD offers better value for something in that price range.
