BMW X1 vs Lexus UX

BMW X1 vs Lexus UX Hybrid: Performance

Performance is an important part of a luxury vehicle. You have one engine option for both the X1 and the UX Hybrid.

The UX Hybrid’s 2.0L in-line 4-cylinder engine delivers 181 total horsepower and has an option of standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive.

The X1’s engine outperforms the UX Hybrid’s. The standard 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine delivers an impressive 241 horsepower! The X1 also comes standard with the xDrive all-wheel-drive system, which helps you maintain traction and handling even when the road or weather isn’t ideal.

The optional M Sport Package of the X1 also ups the vehicle’s handling by including an Adaptive M Suspension and more.

BMW X1 vs Lexus UX Hybrid: Interior Technology

The technology inside your vehicle can enhance your drive. The BMW X1 and Lexus UX Hybrid come equipped with their own interior tech features. Both standard with multi-zone Climate Control so you and your co-pilot can stay comfortable while you drive.

Infotainment systems are standard inside both crossovers as well. These systems allow you to sync your phone with your vehicle to stream music, get calls, and use directions from your smartphone. The UX Hybrid’s screen can be up to 12.3 inches big but starts at eight. The X1’s infotainment system begins at 10.7 inches, and there is also a standard 10.25-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, which provides additional information in a clear and stylish design.

BMW X1 vs Lexus UX Hybrid: Driver-Assistive Systems

Both the BMW X1 and the Lexus UX Hybrid come with a plethora of driver-assistive technologies to help keep you safe while you’re on the go. Some standard systems include:

• Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation—scans the road ahead for potential accidents with other vehicles or pedestrians
• Lane Departure Warning—helps keep you centered in your lane by issuing a warning if you begin to drift
• Speed Limit Info—your vehicle sees speed limit signs and lets you know the current speed limit in case you miss it

Where the BMW X1 surges ahead is with its standard Parking Assistant and Back-up Assistant. A similar feature is available for the UX Hybrid but is not standard and must be added on.
