Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW i5 than the Acura TLX, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Acura TLX, drivers may find the BMW i5 a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

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). Based on MSRP, the Acura TLX is clearly a better financial choice over the BMW i5.

Dimensions
The Acura TLX is about the same width as the BMW i5. The Acura TLX is slightly shorter than the BMW i5, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Acura TLX has about the same turning radius as the BMW i5, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Acura TLX has less horsepower than the BMW i5, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Acura TLX doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the BMW i5.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Acura TLX and the BMW i5.
