Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Volvo XC90
- Elegant and timeless design: The XC90’s clean Scandinavian styling still gives it a strong road presence without relying on flashy or aggressive design elements.
- Exceptionally comfortable seats: The front seats are among the best in the segment, offering superb long-distance comfort with excellent ergonomics and support.
- Relaxing luxury experience: Quiet cabin insulation, smooth highway manners and an airy interior make the XC90 feel calming and effortless to live with.
- Genuinely practical 7-seater: Unlike many luxury SUVs, the XC90 offers a genuinely usable third row along with strong luggage-carrying ability.
- Outstanding sound system: The 19-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system delivers one of the best in-cabin audio experiences available in any luxury car today.
- Excellent safety package: Strong structural safety, Level 2 ADAS and Volvo’s long-standing safety reputation make it especially reassuring for family buyers.
BMW X7
- Strong road presence owing to its large size and sporty styling
- Generous cabin space makes it great for chauffeur-driven owners
- Rich interior quality and luxurious cabin design
- Punchy performance and sharp handling make it a joy to drive!
- Air suspension offers good ride comfort over different road conditions
- Loaded with features: Dual sunroofs, powered seats, 14.9-inch touchscreen with dial controller, 16-speaker Harman Kardon music system, heated and ventilated front seats

Volvo XC90
- Feels dated inside and underneath: Despite the facelift, the XC90 still feels like an older-generation luxury SUV compared to newer rivals.
- Engine lacks effortlessness: The 2-litre four-cylinder petrol feels strained under hard acceleration and lacks the smooth reserve power of rival six-cylinder engines. No hybrid or diesel options either.
- Feature list no longer class-leading: While well-equipped, the XC90 no longer offers the kind of cutting-edge technology or wow-factor features expected at this price.
- Heavy reliance on touchscreen controls: Basic functions being integrated into the touchscreen can feel distracting and less intuitive while driving.
- Ride quality isn’t as plush as expected: The air suspension handles highways well, but low-speed ride comfort over sharp bumps feels firmer than some rivals.
- Wired Apple CarPlay feels outdated: The lack of wireless smartphone connectivity feels unnecessary in a luxury SUV costing over Rs 1 crore.
BMW X7
- Missing rear seat amenities: No rear entertainment screen, no tablet or remote controller for rear passengers, no massage seats
- Seats offer average underthigh support for tall passengers
- No adaptive cruise control
