Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Crown than the BMW i5, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW i5 and the Toyota Crown 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 Toyota Crown, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the BMW i5 is much wider than the Toyota Crown, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the BMW i5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Crown.

Handling
The BMW i5 has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Crown, 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 Toyota Crown. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The BMW i5 has much less torque than the Toyota Crown, 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 Toyota Crown.
