The opportunity for adventures opens up with the right SUV by your side. So, before you start exploring the streets of Rockland, Hingham, and Marshfield, Massachusetts, you’ll want to consider two of the top options: the BMW X1 and the Lexus NX.To help you get to know each SUV, our team at BMW of Rockland created this BMW X1 vs. Lexus NX comparison below. Read on and feel free to contact us with any questions!
With either SUV, you can look forward to strong engine performance, off-road versatility, and much more. So, let’s start by looking under the hood.
The X1 showcases a 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine that churns out 241 horsepower. On base models of the Lexus NX, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine produces just 203 horsepower.
Plus, both vehicles also come packed with plenty of additional performance features to help enhance everything from your everyday ride to work to your off-road camping trips. You will, however, get a bit more from the BMW X1, which offers unique features, like the standard Driving Dynamics Control system with ECO PRO, COMFORT, and SPORT modes. Paired with the intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive system, you’ll never have trouble taking on any type of terrain.

Throughout the BMW X1 and Lexus NX, you’ll also find plenty of intelligent tech to help you get connected and stay safe on your adventures ahead.
In terms of infotainment tech, the two SUVs, once again, share many of the same features. They both offer seamless access to all your smartphone apps with wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration. The stunning 10.7-inch Central Information Display of the X1 does offer some easier visibility than the 9.8-inch display in the Lexus NX.
On the side of safety tech, both SUVs also offer intelligent and intuitive protection with their own unique safety suites. For example, with the BMW Active Driving Assistant, you’ll have Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation, Active Blind Spot Detection, and Lane Departure Warning watching your back. While the NX does offer its own safety systems, they’re far less comprehensive than those of the X1.

While both the BMW X1 and Lexus NX are impressive SUVs capable of adding excitement and comfort to your Rockland, Hingham, and Marshfield, MA, travels, the added features of the BMW X1 are hard to pass on.
