Volvo XC90 vs BMW 2025 M2 Comparison

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.”

India never had the previous M2 and the updated M2 Competition has also only just been launched at the end of November at Rs 79.90 lakh. Yes that's competitive for this segment.It will give you the thrill, the adrenaline rush, and the pleasure, without being intimidating, technical or too controlling. And given its size, ride and comfort too - it's the ideal daily driver for someone who wants all of the above. And that grin as standard.
