Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW i5 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Cadillac CT5 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW i5, drivers may find the Cadillac CT5 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). The BMW i5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Cadillac CT5, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW i5 is about the same width as the Cadillac CT5. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW i5, which is slightly longer than the Cadillac CT5.

Handling
The BMW i5 has a larger turning radius than the Cadillac CT5, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW i5 has a much more powerful engine than the Cadillac CT5. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW i5 and the Cadillac CT5.
