Both the 2022 BMW X1 and the 2022 Lexus UX are very capable SUVs that offer a lot of value for your dollar. With their various trim levels, available equipment, and Drive Modes, the two SUVs have something for every car lover. However, they differ significantly in terms of their design, interior space, and performance. The BMW X1 is a small SUV with a sporty appearance; while its bigger brother, the Lexus UX is an extravagant SUV with a luxurious feel and high performance. So which one should you buy? Let’s take a look at some pros and cons of each model to help you make your decision.
Design & Style
The exterior design of the 2022 BMW X1 and the 2022 Lexus UX are strikingly different, but both are attractive in their own way. The BMW X1 has a more rugged look, with a large grille and angular lines. The Lexus UX has a more sleek, futuristic look, with a smaller grille and smooth curves.
One advantage that the Lexus UX has over the BMW X1 is its size. The UX is smaller and lighter, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. The BMW X1 is larger and heavier, which can make it more difficult to park in tight spots.
The X1 has a sleek, modern design with a black interior. The UX has a more traditional design with a beige interior. The X1 has more features than the UX, including a sunroof, heated seats, and a built-in navigation system. The UX does have some features that the X1 doesn’t have, such as an all-wheel drive system and automatic emergency braking. Overall, the BMW X1 is the better choice for those who want a stylish, modern interior design.
Technology & Safety
The BMW X1 comes with a number of standard safety features, including front and side airbags, traction control, and stability control. The Lexus UX also comes with standard front and side airbags, as well as a driver’s knee airbag. However, the Lexus UX doesn’t come with traction control or stability control.
The BMW X1 also comes with some optional safety features that the Lexus UX doesn’t have. These include a blind spot monitoring system, lane departure warning system, and active cruise control.
When it comes to technology, the BMW X1 and Lexus UX are both top contenders. The X1 has a 6.5-inch touchscreen display with iDrive6, while the UX has an 8.0-inch screen with Remote Touch Interface. Both cars have a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, but the BMW’s is superior because it offers a variety of viewing modes, including Classic, Sport, and Modern. The Lexus’ instrument cluster is more limited in terms of customization options.
The X1 also has a head-up display (HUD), which projects important information onto the windshield in front of the driver. The HUD is optional on the UX, and it’s not as advanced as the one on the X1.

When it comes to engine specs, the BMW X1 beats the Lexus UX. The 2022 BMW X1 has a 248-horsepower engine, while the UX has only 188 horsepower. Additionally, the X1 has 258 lb-ft of torque, while the UX only has 180 lb-ft of torque. This means that the X1 is more powerful and has more torque than the UX.
