Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the GMC Acadia than in the BMW X1, due to its greater head- and legroom. The GMC Acadia will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the BMW X1.

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). Clearly, the BMW X1 is a better financial choice over the GMC Acadia, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X1 is much slimmer than the GMC Acadia, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the BMW X1, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the GMC Acadia.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW X1 has a lot less horsepower than the GMC Acadia.

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

Utility
The BMW X1 has less seating than the GMC Acadia, making the GMC Acadia the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The BMW X1 has significantly less cargo capacity than the GMC Acadia.
