Volvo XC90 vs BMW X5: Plug-in hybrid SUVs go head-to-head

One thing everyone mentions is the infotainment system and if there fiddly, but most of the settings are set and forget so I never see an issue with this stuff.

Bmw much better

Volvos are made for coin economy and more safety, while BMWs are made for modest performance. That was and will be forever

One big disadvantage of the Volvo is that when the battery is empty, you end up with a front wheel drive car with a lot of torque steering and traction control to prevent wheel spin.

I had to make a decision and I went for X5...

Why don’t the new x5 plug in hybrids come in 7 seaters!!?? Only the hybrids come in 7 seats but it’s not plug in hybrid

Bmw sucks..the end

Volvo the king

Volvo all the way👌🏻

They didn't become greener, they've become cheaper to register.

Gotta go with the XC90!!

The bmw x5 is for the driving experience and the Volvo is mainly for a more eco friendly fast charging car

Does the volvo xc90 recharge have booster seats standard

XC90 rivals is X7 and not X5

The Volvo interior looks indeed at least 4 years older (more like 8 years tbh with that display), I understand that the PHEV cars are compared because of the range and engines, but it would be more logic to compare the BMW to premium brands (especially in terms of interior). That said, I understand you would pick the Volvo if you need 7 seats

Volvo without a second thought, X5 compromised on practicality, smaller boot.

I'm about to buy an X5. I'm definitely a BMW guy. I'll take an inline 6 over a 4 banger if they both have the same hp. BMW for me.

X5 vs. XC90 vs. Rebecca = Rebecca!

I like the bmw

Very good review

Hey. I like the Volvo XC90.
Do you export CIF to Kampala, Uganda ?

My Volvo XC90 Inscription is perfect for me.

BMW for me. Bought the newest yesterday.

How can she say the Volvo is less spacious when it’s literally 6 inches wider and taller than the bmw… fanboy. The Volvo is clearly larger and more spacious

Ordered X5 45e,

Couldn't stand Volo infotainment screen and BMW was just much more fun to drive.
Can't believe how fun it is to drive X5 for the weight.

Price?

Neither are large SUV’s.

So disappointing that you didn't say "bananas"!

I think Volvo can ceep with this style till eternity

Is this available in Indian Country Market??

VOLVO XC90👑👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️

Can you not get comparable models this is like apples for oranges so it’s pointless

I prefer this gorgeous lady if that is alright!!! :) :)

I have had an Audi Q7 for four perfect years and I would rate the car better than either the Volvo or BMW on quality and driving experience. However I ordered Volvo XC90 as its replacement. The reason I wanted a plug in hybrid with a good electric only range. This is where the Audi hasn't kept up. My Audi is 7 seats and the XC90 is seven seats and I dont need them but what I do need is a very big boot because my wife is disabled and her wheel chair has to go in before the luggage. The BMW and yes the Discovery are simply too small when in 5 seat configuration. The BMW boot is woeful especially when you cant adjust the position of the rear seats. Dont look at how many litres of space there is in a boot . Its very misleading. Use a tape measure and your own eyes. Land rover measure to the roof! The BMW is a beautiful car and so good in so many ways but as a practical family car its too compromised. I love the X7 but no plug in hybrid.

Way better than watching Mat Watson. (Nice cars, by the way.)

It cost me $1450.00 to change the passenger side mirror at the Volvo dealership. It charged 3 hrs of labor cost. I will go back to MB next car.

I just bought a 2023 volvo xc90 and I'm impressed with what electric range it has. on a full charge, i can move 40+ km which is more than enough for me to work and back. the fuel tank is also impressive, measuring in at over 70 L it can easily last 900+ km. I think if BMW has a similar model within 6 years I will trade the volvo for a bmw and do my own comparison

I respect Volvo but I love BMW! Great review!

🤣 chinese car vs german car are u kidding ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

X5 for me, except the Volvo has doors that cover the sills, while BMW's don't, and those M sill extensions transfer mud to the back of your legs when you get out. Still, select the X-Line model that comes without the M sills and problem solved.

x5 is a better suv .nice review rebecca.

Volvo The Best of 2019 -2020

You need to be half brain dead to buy anything BMW in this day and age.

No discussion of price…

Why were safety ratings not compared? After all, safety is a significant aspect when deciding on where to spend hard earned dollars.

I prefer the XC 90

can we get an update between the 2022 extended range against the bmw 45e

You can atleast drive 2 times to get the other 2 family members waiting for ya, ill choose the XC90 anytime over the BMW.
