Pros Cons of Volvo S60

Pros

  • Handsome Styling
  • Sound System Is The Best In Segment
  • Extremely Comfortable Ride

Cons

  • Touchscreen Is Cumbersome To Use
  • Central Tunnel Limits Space In Second Row
  • Not A Spirited Engine

Verdict

What really impressed us is how the Polestar Engineered S60 handles. We took the car on some twisties and found out that it loves to carve up corners. It responds very well to the steering inputs and has the right amount of weight as well. Plus, the S60 Polestar also gets better Ohlins suspension and the electric motor simply nullifies any turbo lag that a normal turbo-charged engine might have had. Plus, the grip offered too was pleasantly surprising.

Pros Cons of BMW X1

Pros

  • Feels larger than segment
  • Strong diesel torque advantage
  • Engaging BMW steering feel
  • Premium curved display setup
  • Competitive luxury pricing

Cons

  • Slightly firm ride quality
  • Rear middle seat compromised
  • Diesel only in top trim
  • Petrol lacks strong punch

Verdict

The BMW X1 is no longer the “starter BMW” you buy just to enter the brand. It feels confident, bigger, and far more complete than before. From its stronger road presence to its punchy diesel engine and engaging steering, it finally carries the weight of the badge properly. Yes, the ride is slightly firm, and the rear middle seat isn’t perfect. But if you enjoy driving and want a premium SUV that feels mature without becoming boring, the X1 makes a strong case. It balances luxury, performance, and everyday usability in a way that feels smart and modern.

As Shams Raza Naqvi puts it, “The new X1 has adapted well to today’s times.”

And that’s exactly it — the BMW X1 has finally grown into its badge.

Best For

  • Urban premium SUV buyers
  • Diesel-loving luxury drivers
  • Young executives upgrading
  • Drivers who enjoy steering feel

Not Ideal For

  • Soft suspension seekers
  • Budget-focused buyers
  • Rear seat priority users
  • Flashy luxury hunters
