Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW X1 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Land Rover Discovery Sport, with comparable 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 Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Convenience
The BMW X1 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Land Rover Discovery Sport, when considering MSRP.

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

Handling
The BMW X1 has the same turning radius as the Land Rover Discovery Sport, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the BMW X1 and the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the BMW X1 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Utility
The BMW X1 has less seating than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, making the Land Rover Discovery Sport the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The BMW X1 has less cargo space than the Land Rover Discovery Sport, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
