Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Cadillac CT5 than the Nissan Maxima. The Nissan Maxima will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac CT5.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac CT5 as you will with the Nissan Maxima, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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). Whether you pick the Cadillac CT5 or the Nissan Maxima, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Cadillac CT5 is a little wider than the Nissan Maxima, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac CT5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Nissan Maxima.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac CT5 is significantly less powerful than the Nissan Maxima. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
