Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Cherokee than in the BMW X1, due to its greater head- and legroom. The BMW X1 will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Jeep Cherokee.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X1 as you will with the Jeep Cherokee, 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 Jeep Cherokee.

Dimensions
The BMW X1 is about the same width as the Jeep Cherokee. The BMW X1 is slightly shorter than the Jeep Cherokee, which may make it easier to park.

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

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW X1 greatly out-muscles the Jeep Cherokee.

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 Jeep Cherokee.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X1 and the Jeep Cherokee. The BMW X1 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Jeep Cherokee.
