Cargo and Towing
Cargo space in the 2026 Acura ADX measures approximately 24 cubic feet behind the rear seats and about 55 cubic feet with the seats folded. The cargo area remains wide and square, making it easier to load bulky items. The BMW X1 offers slightly more cargo space on paper, with 25.7 cubic feet behind the second row and approximately 57 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. However, its tapered rear design limits the efficient use of space.
There's a greater distinction for towing abilities. The 2026 Acura ADX is rated tow up to 1,500 pounds in the U.S., while the BMW X1 offers no official tow rating, basically removing that capability for Marietta car buyers.
Starting MSRP Range
Pricing separates these models early. The 2026 Acura ADX is expected to start in the low-to-mid $30,000 range, while the BMW X1 begins at around $41,000 before options. Acura offers more standard features at the entry level, whereas BMW pricing increases more quickly as packages are added.
Safety Ratings
Safety ratings for the 2026 Acura ADX have not yet been finalized. However, Acura vehicles consistently earn top scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), often receiving Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ accolades. The BMW X1 earns solid safety ratings, though it does not match the 2026 Acura ADX model's consistency across all testing categories in recent years.
Estimated 3-Year Depreciation
Depreciation further widens the ownership gap. The 2026 Acura ADX is estimated to depreciate roughly 35 to 38 percent over three years. The BMW X1 can depreciate to nearly 50 percent in the same period.
Average CPO Price vs. Brand-New
A brand-new 2026 Acura ADX starts at $35,000 MSRP, and up to $42,000 MSRP for the top trim level. Certified counterparts have a slower depreciation rate due to their recent launch.
A brand-new BMW X1 starts at $44,450, but the certified pricing reflects a larger depreciation discount.
