The Volvo XC90 vs. the Competition
When you are shopping for your ideal mid-size SUV to drive in Davie, FL, there are plenty of models that you might want to consider. At Weston Volvo Cars, we think a new Volvo XC90 is a clear choice. The XC90 delivers superb, efficient performance, stunning design, and an exciting array of features. As you browse other mid-size SUV models, we think you will keep coming back to the XC90 and its all-around quality. But don't take our word for it; here is how the Volvo XC90 compares to other luxury mid-size SUVs.
Volvo XC90 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE 350
At a glance, the XC90 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-350 might seem very similar to Ft. Lauderdale drivers. Both vehicles have powertrains with 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engines. The vehicles are also very similar in length, with the XC90 measuring 195 inches and the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 measuring 194.3 inches. However, the XC90 has a clear advantage in one major feature: fuel economy. The XC90 has efficient gas mileage, with an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon and a city fuel economy of 21 miles per gallon. Combined, the XC90 achieves an overall fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon. For comparison, the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 has a highway fuel economy of 27 miles per gallon, a city fuel economy of 19 miles per gallon, and an overall fuel economy of just 22 miles per gallon.
Volvo XC90 vs. BMW X5
The Volvo XC90 has a robust array of safety and driver assistance features, so that you can always breathe easy as you drive home to Plantation, FL. One of the most notable standard features on the XC90 is the 360-degree Surround View. Made possible by four cameras, this birds-eye view of the area around your vehicle makes it easier than ever to park in tight spaces. The BMW X5 has no standard features with this capability. If you want a better view while driving a BMW X5, you will have to rely on a standard rear-view camera. The XC90 also comes standard with a Blind Spot Information System, which monitors your blind spot when you are on the road. If you start to change lanes while another vehicle is in your blind spot, the system alerts you. The BMW X5 has a similar Lane-Change Warning feature, but it is available, not standard. Instead of coming with the vehicle, you have to pay extra for it.
Volvo XC90 vs. Audi Q7
The Audi Q7 stands out compared to the XC90 with its price tag. The base trim of the Audi Q7 has a starting MSRP of $56,900, substantially more than the $50,900 MSRP of the XC90 base trim. What do you get for that extra $6,000 if you opt for the Audi Q7? For starters, you get a substantially worse fuel economy. The XC90 has an EPA-estimated combined fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon, while the Audi Q7 has a combined fuel economy of just 22 miles per gallon. The more expensive Audi Q7 does not even outperform the XC90. When driving an XC90 all over Pembroke Pines, you can enjoy its 250-horsepower engine. Meanwhile, the Audi Q7 produces 248 horsepower.
Our Verdict: The XC90 Stands Out above the Rest
