X1 vs NX: Performance You Can FeelYou want a luxury crossover that knows how to deliver power and responsive handling. The 2021 X1 and NX do well across all performance metrics, but the BMW Sports Activity Vehicle® excels at handling.
With the BMW X1, you’ll experience near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution as well as standard Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control. This SAV® can tackle corners like a sports sedan, which is apparent when your vehicle is equipped with the M Sport suspension (available as part of a package).
While the Lexus NX is not known for its handling prowess, it can go toe to toe with the BMW X1 in terms of power. Both run on potent turbo 4-cylinder engines, though the TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder used on the X1 can deliver a 0 to 60 MPH time of 6.3 seconds. The NX takes 7.2 seconds to accelerate 0 to 60 MPH.
X Marks the Spot in the BMW ModelAs audacious in style as they are in performance, the BMW X1 and Lexus NX will earn attention on every road. The large kidney grille on the BMW is matched by an expressively tall and wide grille on the Lexus.
Your window to the skies above awaits in the Lexus NX: It offers an available power moonroof to reveal a more spacious SUV. However, the BMW X1 allows you to broaden your horizons even more when you equip your vehicle with the optional panoramic moonroof. Rear passengers will have beautiful views, as well!
Our favorite touch in the BMW? It may be the X-sign projection that greets you as you unlock the doors. This puddle light projects a sleek and sophisticated X1 icon on the ground—a flourish the Lexus lacks.
BMW X1 vs Lexus NX: Cargo VolumeThe 2021 X1 and NX really put the utility in SUV. Let’s move to the rear for a moment and explore the two vehicles’ cargo areas—while both treasure cargo space, the BMW takes it to epic proportions.
The Lexus NX serves up just 17.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats, while the BMW X1 has 27.1 cubic feet of cargo space in the same situation. Fold the rear seats and the gap between the two narrows, but the BMW still comes out ahead. It has up to 58.7 cubic feet, compared to the 54.5 cubic feet in the Lexus.
Simply put, you’ll have room for more in the BMW X1. Gear up for adventure and leave nothing behind when you choose the always adaptable SAV®.
