Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW i5 than the Nissan Maxima. The Nissan Maxima 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 Nissan Maxima, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW i5 is much wider than the Nissan Maxima, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. 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 Nissan Maxima.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW i5 is somewhat more powerful than the Nissan Maxima.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the BMW i5 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Nissan Maxima.

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