BMW X4 vs Volvo XC90 Comparison

The BMW X4's pricing begins at ₹60.60 lakh, extending up to ₹65.90 lakh for the formidable 3.0-litre straight-six diesel variant. This model is an attractive alternative for those in the market for a mid-size SUV and find the X3 less appealing. While there are more engaging BMW SUVs in terms of driving dynamics, the X4 distinguishes itself with its coupe-like aesthetics and commanding presence, factors potent enough to make a compelling case for potential buyers.

The Volvo XC90 remains an exception as a luxury SUV, with a focus on comfort, safety and understated design rather than outright performance. The facelift features subtle changes in the design and technology without any change in the core strengths that have defined the SUV for years.

While some of its rivals, such as the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, may have more powerful engines or more sporty driving characteristics, the XC90 is all about providing a calm and elegant driving experience. Its spacious cabin, robust safety package and ride comfort make it attractive to families who are looking for a premium three-row SUV.

Shams summarised the experience well in his review:

“This is a car that stays away from gimmicks and just does its core job with absolute ease.”
