Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW i5 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Hyundai IONIQ 6 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the BMW i5.

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 Hyundai IONIQ 6, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW i5 is a little wider than the Hyundai IONIQ 6, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. 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 Hyundai IONIQ 6.

Handling
The BMW i5 has a larger turning radius than the Hyundai IONIQ 6, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW i5 is somewhat more powerful than the Hyundai IONIQ 6.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the BMW i5 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Hyundai IONIQ 6.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW i5 and the Hyundai IONIQ 6.
