Two SUVs with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the model year, horsepower, fuel economy, ground shadow size, and height. First of all, although the 2014 X1 has a more powerful engine than the 2016 MKC, it gets 2.5 more mpg. Also, not only X1 is slightly smaller, but it's also shorter than the MKC. Among similarities are the body structure, market segment, starting price, and maximum occupancy.
