Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW iX than in the Land Rover Discovery Sport. The BMW iX will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The BMW iX will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, which has a much lower MSRP.
