Comparison Review

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

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 X5 PHEV will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Buick Envista, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW X5 PHEV is much wider than the Buick Envista, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the BMW X5 PHEV, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Buick Envista.

Handling

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW X5 PHEV greatly out-muscles the Buick Envista.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the BMW X5 PHEV and the Buick Envista. With the BMW X5 PHEV, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Buick Envista.
