Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Escape than in the BMW X1, due to its greater head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the BMW X1 and the Ford Escape.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X1 as you will with the Ford Escape, 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 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Ford Escape, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the BMW X1 is much slimmer than the Ford Escape, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.
The BMW X1 is slightly shorter than the Ford Escape, which may make it easier to park.
Handling
The BMW X1 has the same turning radius as the Ford Escape, 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 Ford Escape.
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 Ford Escape.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X1 and the Ford Escape.
The BMW X1 has less cargo space than the Ford Escape, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
