Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW X1 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Toyota Land Cruiser, with comparable 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 Toyota Land Cruiser.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X1 as you will with the Toyota Land Cruiser, 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). Clearly, the BMW X1 is a better financial choice over the Toyota Land Cruiser, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X1 is much slimmer than the Toyota Land Cruiser, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the BMW X1, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Handling
The BMW X1 has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Land Cruiser, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW X1 has a lot less horsepower than the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Powertrain
The BMW X1 has much lower torque than the Toyota Land Cruiser, 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 X1 and the Toyota Land Cruiser.
