Comfort
The BMW i5 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Volkswagen Jetta GLI with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Jetta GLI, the BMW i5 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
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 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the BMW i5 is much wider than the Volkswagen Jetta GLI, 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 Volkswagen Jetta GLI.
Handling
The BMW i5 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Volkswagen Jetta GLI, making it much 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 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. 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 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, 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 Volkswagen Jetta GLI.
