BMW X1 vs Acura RDX

Gas Mileage: BMW X1 Will Save You Fuel  

Wherever you drive, you crave a performance you can really feel. With turbocharged turbines, the 2021 X1 and the RDX certainly put the wind at your back. Both models offer available all-wheel drive as well, so you can conquer slippery streets without losing your cool.

More freedom to adventure means fewer stops for fuel! The BMW X1 excels on the gas mileage front with an EPA-estimated 24 city/33 highway MPG. Meanwhile, the Acura RDX offers 22 city/28 highway MPG, falling a bit short of the BMW.

Both models are fun to drive. The BMW tackles corners like a sports sedan, while the Acura promises precise handling with minimal bumps and body roll.

X1 vs RDX: Your Customizable Cargo Space

Your gear won't move itself, but luckily, the BMW X1 and the Acura RDX will. They may be small as far as sport utility vehicles are concerned, but they swallow up more cargo than you'd imagine!

In fact, they sport nearly identical cargo capacities. With the rear seats folded, both models can accommodate nearly 59 cubic feet of your gear. Make space for your camping gear or even the small furniture items you need to complete your apartment's aesthetic! 

In one way, however, the X1 has the upper hand over the RDX. While both feature split-folding rear seats, the Acura has just a 60/40 split. The BMW boasts a 40/20/40 split, giving you many more ways to find your perfect people-to-cargo ratio.
