Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW X1 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Genesis GV70, with comparable head- and legroom. The BMW X1 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Genesis GV70, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X1 as you will with the Genesis GV70, 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). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW X1 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Genesis GV70.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X1 is much slimmer than the Genesis GV70, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The BMW X1 is slightly shorter than the Genesis GV70, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW X1 has the same turning radius as the Genesis GV70, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW X1 has a little less horsepower than the Genesis GV70.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the BMW X1 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Genesis GV70.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X1 and the Genesis GV70. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the BMW X1 as you will in the Genesis GV70.
