Volvo XC90 vs BMW Z4 Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Volvo XC90 starts at ₹97.80 L and the BMW Z4 at ₹87.90 L, a difference of ₹9.90 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹10.99 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: The Volvo XC90 uses a 1,969cc Petrol making 247bhp and listed torque with Automatic. The BMW Z4 uses a 2,998cc Petrol making 335bhp@5000-6500rpm and listed torque with Automatic.

Mileage and running cost: The Volvo XC90 Petrol Automatic is rated at 12.35 kmpl and the BMW Z4 Petrol Automatic at 12 kmpl. At 1,000 km a month, the Volvo XC90 saves you about ₹247.97570850202376 a month and ₹2.98 K a year on fuel.

What one gives that the other does not: The Volvo XC90 adds Child Safety Locks, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), ISOFIX Child Seat Mounts, Heads-Up Display (HUD) and Blind Spot Camera. The BMW Z4 adds Traction Control, Tyre Size, Tyre Type, Petrol Fuel Tank Capacity and Trunk Light. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the BMW Z4 if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹9.90 L 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: Volvo XC90 offers Child Safety Locks.

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.
