Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW iX than in the Lexus RX 500h. 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 Lexus RX 500h.

Cost
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 Lexus RX 500h, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW iX is much wider than the Lexus RX 500h, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the BMW iX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Lexus RX 500h.

Handling
The BMW iX has a significantly larger turning radius than the Lexus RX 500h, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW iX greatly out-muscles the Lexus RX 500h.

Powertrain
The BMW iX has much lower torque than the Lexus RX 500h, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW iX and the Lexus RX 500h. With the BMW iX, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Lexus RX 500h.
