Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I'm looking for a luxury SUV which is not as compact as BMW X1 or not as large as a BMW X5, I felt Volvo XC60 is superior in most elements when compare to BMW X3. The only question I'm left with is that, is the XC60 good for indian roads? which is the most reliable between BMW and Volvo?
  • Both BMW X3 and Volvo XC60 are capable and reliable SUVs. The Volvo XC60 is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel that makes 235PS and 480Nm of torque. There are three drive modes to choose from: Eco, comfort and Dynamic. In Comfort, the engine response is smoothed out and makes for great commuting in the city. Moreover, the X3 packs an updated features list that’s ready to take on the competition. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership. Volvo and BMW are so evenly matched it’s a tough choice to pick a clear winner. You need to take notice of the larger network BMW has in India as well as CKD operations that will make the X3 a more affordable car to fix. Volvo’s limited presence puts it at a disadvantage.Read More: - BMW X3 vs Volvo XC60
Q. Is XC60 a better option? Which one to buy between XC60, GLC, Audi Q5?
  • Xc60
  • No one can answer that question, without a little "tendency". What is better 4U ? Volvo, MB,BMW, Adi ? All cars are different ! Ask yourself: What do I need or what do I want, or what do my family need ? In just few words, cars are like women: all beautiful, but what do you choose at a moment ? Don't pay attention at "bright color mirrors and electronic toys with no sense. Look at engine, brakes, security features, and drive it a little. Rest of things are just to sell a new model. Ask yourself : how old am I, how fast I drive, how fast can I drive, where can I use my " super car", how many in a car? Perhaps you need a Jeep Wrangler, and you never ask your self ! Have a nice life.
  • No doubt XC60 it is the most powerful and beautiful SUV in it's segment
Q. Is XC 60 better than X3, Q5 and GLC?
  • What means better ? Better, what "to" /"for" ?
