Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Cadillac Escalade than in the BMW iX, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Cadillac Escalade will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the BMW iX.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW iX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Cadillac Escalade.
