Volvo XC40 vs BMW X3 Comparison

Volvo may not frequently shake up the Indian market, but when it does, it ensures all eyes are on it. True to its brand, the car comes equipped with an extensive array of standard safety features, with a single India-specific variant that's fully loaded. While it comes with a premium price tag, it positions itself as the most accessible premium EV available. Clearly, Volvo has strategically played its cards to offer a compelling blend of safety, luxury, and value.

Removing physical AC buttons is a polarising industry trend the BMW X3 has embraced, and its flashy exterior styling might not suit everyone's taste, too. However, the rest of the mechanical package is incredibly strong. Also, switching to regular tyres makes it one of the most comfortable SUVs in its class over bad Indian roads. And the addition of the high-power 30 xDrive petrol variant finally gives enthusiast drivers a reason to look at the X3 again.

Bilal summarises,

“The X3 is not for the average buyer. It is for the enthusiast who still believes an SUV can entertain.”
