Recently Asked User Questions
Q. I want to buy one of those SUV XC90 or Range Rover Velar R Dynamic S. Can you help me.
- Hi ..if you see velar prominent among discovery or evoque in the showroom you are in love with the car. You will enquire about it only you will not see even the mighty range rover or f pace not even the Jaguars. It is stylish big with great infotainment.Two touch screens. Plush interior good ride quality and more than adequate boot. please see about xc 90 in other answers. It is great coming in as a 6 seater ,trimmedwith all the safety features. As 3 litre is not there go for 2 litre dynamic s diesel varient. Its not s CBI any more so you will get it at around 75lac(they offer good discounts too)Big boot great Downside is an inaccessible navigation system down side of velar and its siblings.Some times difficult to get in ,lacks the platform.If it had front sensors or cameras like the Amgs driving and parking would have been easy. xc90 is modest 6 seater from 2020.Trimmed compete make over again!! seats are accessible.Good engine options.better sunroof than velar . In spite if all goodies on an xc 90I suggest you yo go for a velar ,it is the most stylish SUVs. will suggest to wait for electric or hybrid xc 90 . Thanks .
- If you are looking for off roading, go for Velar. If looking for luxury & family time, it is the Volvo.
Q. I want to buy a safest SUV in the range of 50-70 lakhs in terms of road safety. Which is most suitable in this? If luxury comes with safety I will be more than happy.
- As you are looking for an SUV with the best safety features, there are ample of options available such as Volvo XC60, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, BMW X4, Audi Q5, Jaguar F-PACE, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Lexus NX, and Land Rover Discovery Sport.Moreover, we would suggest you get a test drive of the picked up cars so that may you get a good idea regarding the car's specification, built quality and safety features. This would also help you get further details regarding the car.Click here for the options: https://www.zigwheels.com/new_car_search.php?byshowroomprice=50-70&bybodytype=suv&sortfield=popularity&sortdirection=desc Click here for the dealership: https://www.zigwheels.com/dealers
- Xc 60 will be my answer.Range rover discovery would have been the answer but it lacks simple things like gprs connectivity.
Q. Can we compare XC90 with land Cruiser Prado?
- Both of these power hungry huge monsters are very much the same in terms of features. But if you need a petrol variant and need a heart of a 2.0-litre 400bhp 20V Twin Turbo Petrol Engine which can make you feel link a race car driver in an SUV so you can go for the Volvo XC90 whereas if you need a diesel heart in your SUV with a 3.0-litre 170.63bhp 16V D4-D then you can go for the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. But to know more about this we suggest you take a test ride of the vehicle and then decide. Click the given link and read more:- https://www.zigwheels.com/compare-cars/toyota-prado-vs-volvo-xc90
- No prado is in a different league..a real off roader.xc 90 has q7 ,range rover discovery as its rivals. Thanks.
