Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW i5 than the Alfa Romeo Giulia, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the BMW i5 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). Based on MSRP, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is clearly a better financial choice over the BMW i5.

Dimensions
The Alfa Romeo Giulia is a little narrower than the BMW i5, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the Alfa Romeo Giulia, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the BMW i5.

Handling
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has a significantly smaller turning radius than the BMW i5, allowing much better maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Alfa Romeo Giulia 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 Alfa Romeo Giulia 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 Alfa Romeo Giulia and the BMW i5.
