Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW X1 than in the Subaru Solterra. The BMW X1 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Subaru Solterra, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW X1 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Subaru Solterra.

Dimensions
The BMW X1 is about the same width as the Subaru Solterra. The BMW X1 is slightly shorter than the Subaru Solterra, which may make it easier to park.

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

Performance
The BMW X1 has a little more horsepower than the Subaru Solterra.

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 Subaru Solterra.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X1 and the Subaru Solterra. The BMW X1 has less cargo space than the Subaru Solterra, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
