Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW i5 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Genesis G70. The Genesis G70 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the BMW i5.

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 Genesis G70, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW i5 is much wider than the Genesis G70, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the BMW i5, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Genesis G70.

Handling
The BMW i5 has a larger turning radius than the Genesis G70, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW i5 is somewhat more powerful than the Genesis G70.

Powertrain
The BMW i5 has much less torque than the Genesis G70, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW i5 and the Genesis G70.
