BMW X5 vs Volvo XC90 Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The BMW X5 starts at ₹96.90 L and the Volvo XC90 at ₹97.80 L, a difference of ₹90.00 K ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹99.90 K. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The BMW X5 number is for the Diesel/Petrol Automatic and the Volvo XC90 number is for the Petrol Automatic, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

Space and practicality: The Volvo XC90 takes 680 litres against 645, about 35 litres more. That is roughly one extra cabin-size bag of extra room.

What one gives that the other does not: The BMW X5 adds Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Traction Control, Rear Camera, Fog Lights - Front and Fog Lights - Rear. The Volvo XC90 adds Day & Night Rear View Mirror, Heads-Up Display (HUD), Blind Spot Camera, Hill Assist and 360 View Camera. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the BMW X5 if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹90.00 K for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Volvo XC90 if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: BMW X5 offers Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
