Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW iX than in the BMW X5 PHEV. The BMW iX will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the BMW X5 PHEV.

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 iX is somewhat more expensive than the BMW X5 PHEV.

Dimensions
The BMW iX is a little narrower than the BMW X5 PHEV, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. When looking at overall length, the BMW iX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the BMW X5 PHEV.

Handling
The BMW iX has a larger turning radius than the BMW X5 PHEV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the BMW iX transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the BMW X5 PHEV.
