Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW iX offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the BMW iX and the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

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 iX will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW iX is much wider than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the BMW iX, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Handling
The BMW iX has a significantly larger turning radius than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW iX greatly out-muscles the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid.

Powertrain
The BMW iX has much lower torque than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

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