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 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW i5 and the Toyota Corolla Hybrid in the front seats.

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 Toyota Corolla Hybrid, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW i5 is much wider than the Toyota Corolla Hybrid, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the BMW i5, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Toyota Corolla Hybrid.

Handling
The BMW i5 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Toyota Corolla Hybrid, making it much 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 Toyota Corolla Hybrid. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

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 Toyota Corolla Hybrid.

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