Comparison Review

Comfort
The Alfa Romeo Tonale offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the BMW X5, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Alfa Romeo Tonale and the BMW X5.

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). Clearly, the Alfa Romeo Tonale is a better financial choice over the BMW X5, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Alfa Romeo Tonale is much slimmer than the BMW X5, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Alfa Romeo Tonale, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the BMW X5.

Handling
The Alfa Romeo Tonale has a smaller turning radius than the BMW X5, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the BMW X5 is clearly the choice over the Alfa Romeo Tonale for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Alfa Romeo Tonale has a lot less horsepower than the BMW X5.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Alfa Romeo Tonale doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the BMW X5.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Alfa Romeo Tonale and the BMW X5. The Alfa Romeo Tonale has significantly less cargo capacity than the BMW X5.
