Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Bronco Sport than in the BMW X1, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Ford Bronco Sport offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW X1, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X1 as you will with the Ford Bronco Sport, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 X1 is somewhat more expensive than the Ford Bronco Sport.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X1 is much slimmer than the Ford Bronco Sport, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW X1, which is slightly longer than the Ford Bronco Sport.

Handling
The BMW X1 has a larger turning radius than the Ford Bronco Sport, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW X1 has a little more horsepower than the Ford Bronco Sport.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the BMW X1 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Ford Bronco Sport.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X1 and the Ford Bronco Sport. The BMW X1 has less cargo space than the Ford Bronco Sport, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
