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 Volvo S60. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW i5 and the Volvo S60 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 Volvo S60, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW i5 is about the same width as the Volvo S60. 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 Volvo S60.

Handling
The BMW i5 has a larger turning radius than the Volvo S60, 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 Volvo S60. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the BMW i5 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Volvo S60.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW i5 and the Volvo S60.
