Comparison Review

Comfort
The Audi A6 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the BMW i5. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi A6, drivers may find the BMW i5 a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

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). Based on MSRP, the Audi A6 is clearly a better financial choice over the BMW i5.

Dimensions
The Audi A6 is about the same width as the BMW i5. The Audi A6 is slightly shorter than the BMW i5, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Audi A6 has about the same turning radius as the BMW i5, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi A6 is significantly less powerful than the BMW i5. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Audi A6 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the BMW i5.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Audi A6 and the BMW i5.
