Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the BMW i5 than in the Chevrolet Malibu, due to the BMW i5's smaller rear head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW i5 and the Chevrolet Malibu 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 Chevrolet Malibu, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the BMW i5 is much wider than the Chevrolet Malibu, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW i5, which is slightly longer than the Chevrolet Malibu.
Handling
The BMW i5 has a larger turning radius than the Chevrolet Malibu, 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 Chevrolet Malibu. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW i5 and the Chevrolet Malibu.
