Comparison Review

Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the BMW X1 than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. 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 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.

Convenience

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). Whether you pick the BMW X1 or the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The BMW X1 is a little narrower than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. The BMW X1 is slightly shorter than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW X1 has a larger turning radius than the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

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 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.

Utility
