2020 Lexus UX vs. 2020 BMW X1

The Lexus UX is a stylish subcompact crossover that is as exciting to look at as it is to drive. It comes with plenty of technology options that make driving it a breeze. It is also a comfortable car to drive and its many extras mean that the driver and passengers are guaranteed a comfortable ride.

The BMW X1 is similarly a subcompact crossover that comes with a variety of features. The BMW X1 is both practical and yet fun to ride. The owners of this crossover might have problems with the fuel-economy but the car makes up for it in many other ways. Let us see how these two cars stack up against each other.

Design & Style

The 2020 Lexus UX remains largely unchanged from the 2019 model. It retains its stylish lines across the body as well as the aggressively sporty look. Inside the car, one can expect to get power-adjustable seats as well as dual-zone climate control. The Lexus UX also features ample cargo space so the car functions very well as an everyday utility vehicle.

The BMW X1 also comes with a large front grille as well as good looking front and rear bumper. Other design elements that have been updated include the LED lighting as well as new wheel designs. The cabin is fairly roomy although the cargo space is wanting.

Technology & Safety

When you purchase or lease the 2020 Lexus UX, you get a fully loaded infotainment system that features mobile WIFI system as well as four USB ports. You also get a 10.3-inch infotainment screen that acts as the center console for all your navigation and entertainment needs. You can enhance your Lexus UX experience with an 8-speaker entertainment system as well as wireless charging pads.

The 2020 BMW X1 comes with an 8.8-inch screen that also serves as the navigation screen. The X1 also comes standard with Apple CarPlay as well as blue tooth connectivity. X1 owners also get one USB port and a seven-speaker audio system.

Performance

With the 2020 Lexus UX, you get gas or hybrid-powered 4-cylinder engine that turns out 169 horsepower. This gives the car pretty ample power to meet almost any need a driver might have. The ride is also smooth and quiet. When you are on the highway, the Lexus IX has no lag and takes the corners with ease.

The 2020 BMW X1 comes with a two-liter turbocharged engine that provides about 288 horsepower. The engine is controlled by an 8-speed automatic transmission that ensures ample power when you need it. The suspension is not the best out there and even minor imperfections on the road are felt all over the cabin.

The Bottom Line

While the BMW X1 is a finely crafted-car, the Lexus UX still beats it when it comes to detail. The Lexus offers a fine balance between power and comfort, ensuring that the driver has the best of both worlds. In this regard, the 2020 Lexus UX emerges as a better vehicle.
