Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda CR-V than in the BMW X1, due to its greater head- and legroom. The BMW X1 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda CR-V, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X1 as you will with the Honda CR-V, 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 Honda CR-V, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW X1 is a little narrower than the Honda CR-V, 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 Honda CR-V, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW X1 has a larger turning radius than the Honda CR-V, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW X1 has a little more horsepower than the Honda CR-V.

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 Honda CR-V.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X1 and the Honda CR-V. The BMW X1 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Honda CR-V.
