Is a claimed 54-mile range enough to make you consider a PHEV? 🤔

@hmi1750 3 года назад

my Q5 55TFSIe gets me 35-55Km in range, depending on weather and driving style! This is painful on anything more than city drives, as frankly makes no sense to stop and charge in mid-way on a long motorway drive. The X5 would definitely make more sense and give me more boot space for the longer drives with family. I forgot to add, that most of the time 66% of my driving is electric only. Only during holiday seasons or weekend jaunts out of town will switch this so 66% petrol.

@NunoAparicio 3 года назад

A proper comparison would be X5 against GLE. Both plug-in hybrids and similar batteries

@sterlingarcher4989 3 года назад

Not when it’s total BS. Call me when they can actually do 54 miles.

@ms-jl6dl 3 года назад

MB GLE 300 de ? 60 miles electric + 2.0l diesel ! Beats easily both of these.

@tomburton8239 3 года назад

Well.... the 21mile typical range of my XC90 sounds not much, but is surprisingly useful. I drive 17,000m/year so pretty much every day. So the first 365*21= 7,600m each year are on plug-in electric. That’s getting on for half my millage. And that’s at half the cost/mile of petrol. Because I’m either driving around town -or- long-haul, if the plug-in electric mileage were, say, 50 miles then all that would do is mean I go further on the long-hauls before it flips to petrol. BTW, a full charge of my XC90 from a 13amp plug takes 3 hours, not the 5 hours you found.

@sdowdeng 3 года назад

We are on our second XC90 T8 R Design (2020). The car is a big improvement on our previous 2017 XC90 T8, with a longer range, 20+miles and better fuel economy at 43 mpg (after 6000 miles). Our current car has the Polestar upgrade which makes a surprising difference to power (408ps), handling, and steering feel. This is a very comfortable place to be, as the car has all options (the B+W is well worth the extra money) - the seats are superb (as are all Volvo seats). Our family of 6, with the youngest being 17 love the extra space available, even in the 3rd row. Overall great car - watch out for pre-registered demo's at reduced prices.

I have purchased a BMW 45e and it is just fantastic in the real world - it handles great in all conditions; the electric mode does all the around town running at zero cost; and once on the motorway the petrol engine just flys; if you don't need 7 seats then this is the best all-round SUV to use on a day to day basis

Just bought the 2021 BMW X5 xDrive after investigating for some time and test driving multiple vehicles in the same segment. I can say that it’s an amazing ride with a fabulous tech and a well crafted interior. The 3rd row is not as bad as they make it sound but it’s not your daily 7 seater vehicle either.

@NickLiang 3 года назад

I have the V90 and the system is pretty quick to start up. Like you said it can all be set up via the app before entering the car and it always works. I had the G20 BMW and the new ID7 is so buggy with functionality issues, I hated using it, especially Spotify randomly logging me out, losing connection with car play, trip data randomly not working or displaying. Very easy to use but such a buggy mess.

@johnmcmanus123 2 года назад

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

@alexlekov720 3 года назад

First time for Volvo- it has firmer suspension than the BMW, and it is presented as a minus to the Volvo! What about the overall design and complexity - once you hit 80k miles your BMW will need a lot more in service and maintenance, did they ever fix the window regulators falling apart? What about the door handles breaking off, so far X5 has not impressed me at all, but a 15 year old XC90, with 7 seats and over 200k miles keeps running strong with little to no maintenance needed, (breaks tires and oil) is this the case with the T8?

@Dual__ 3 года назад

@MrMarkcoopers 3 года назад

X5 has a range above anything else...........erm what about the Merc GLE 300DE. The Merc on paper has a bigger electric range, is perhaps down on performance but is still real world fast, and more economical when the batteries are depleted. The Merc also allows rapid charging cutting the charge time massively. Worth a shout I would say.

@_kowono 3 года назад

We bought an XC90 T8 2016 in December 2019. It's been great, we live in Seattle (moved from the UK then) so having the battery for short trips works for us. The beauty of our car is that we got the dealer to fully upgrade everything to 2020 spec, it now has the latest pilot assist (which is genuinely brilliant on the motorway or in traffic). The infotainment criticism is probably valid compared to a newer alternative, but compared to other cars from the year ours was made, it's way better. But, I don't really get the climate complaints, why do you have the climate turned off when you get in? You just get in and it starts working to reduce the temp... With the app (standard on a new car) you can control the climate before you get to the car too. Our journeys are either very short (battery), or on the highway, so a PHEV works for us.

@TheCubels 3 года назад

Just to correct the reviewer's statement. You don't need to touch the center screen menus for temperature control on the XC90: JUST USE the voice command function, say "temperature xx" and it changes the settings immediately without needing to touch the menus. I use it all the time.

@SpecialReserve 3 года назад

What is seriously missing is the servicing costs, and reliability of the two. Which in fairness is the priority for most people.

@r.gelmers6580 3 года назад

Yeah, often overlooked in these reviews. These reviews tend to be tailored towards customers that either lease or change cars as soon as warranty expires. If you wish to buy and keep your car beyond warranty Volvo is a clear winner. It's still not a cheap car to own but the BMW will set you back a fair bit more when you hit a snag out of warranty (as is the case for all german premium brands).

@vc8160 3 года назад

BMW unfortunately has on a 3.7 kw on board charger. This equates to it taking exactly twice as long as the xc90 . A huge oversight by bmw tech and a major flaw.

Once the battery is drain after driving the whole day. The electric motor won't give you that horsepower any more. It makes it feel that you only have limited superpower for maybe 2 hours after that is all down hill. Do correct me if I'm wrong?

@slandshark 2 года назад

That is incorrect. There's always power coming from the electric motor even at 0% battery (it's not really 0%, just 0% usable for pure EV driving). The gas engine is always supplying electricity to the battery/electric motor which is then used to drive the rear wheels in the XC90. It's the same for pretty much every PHEV. Once battery hits 0%, it acts exactly like a traditional hybrid (gas/electric motors working together for total power output).

Not getting why the tester is getting into the Volvo climate sub-menu. The system is always on; fan speed is auto. You only need to select temperature. AC is auto on off. Also, Volvo allows you to fully charge the battery while driving, and you don’t always need to plug in. I believe the BMW requires plug in. Both have regenerative charging.

And at the end, an xc90 has almost the same interior as an v60 does. It just doesn't give you that premium feeling. and an extra, the bmw is faster on the autobahn because the electric engine keeps going as well. By the volvo xc90 the electric engine turns off at 180 km/h which is just a shame.

My previous car was a 2014 Nissan Leaf also with a 24 kwh battery (yes I know it's very different but we're talking about efficiency) and that did a real world 100 miles range. I know the X5 is very nice, but it does 1.3 miles per kwh, while the 330e does 2.0 miles per kwh, and the Leaf did 4.1 miles per kwh. And when the battery runs out on the X5 I bet the mpg is shocking too.

Mpg was 25, it's in the video. Nothing shocking about it.

Was this a Comparison video or a BMW X5 Promo?

I have to agree. I kept wincing during this review

As my grandfather used to say , “BMW is the most over rated car brand in the world “. Very biased one sided review

Why does it only do 30 miles in USA, where they are made? Maybe just buy the ev9 😎

X5 is a funny choice. You can get an X3 with pretty the same thing but pay quite less. If you need a 7-seater, get an X7. I don't get why anybody would want a X5.

Want 7 seats? XC90 Want best ev range? X5

So VW's was fined 800bn squarks for lying about its NOX emissions, but it's ok for 2.4ton BMW X5 to say it gets 240mpg. And be, somehow, cheaper to run than my real world 1.2ton Fiesta getting 51mpg? Am I missing something to government policy?

@Dyrck 3 года назад

Companies don't claim anything themselves, they simply report the results of the mandated tests, however inaccurate the tests may be. VW were fined because they engineered the cars to recognise when they were being tested and adjust the performance to artificially improve their MPG for the duration of the test.

@pigeonpoo1823 3 года назад

@@Dyrck we all know what the reasons are. But where vw cheated a bit on a test, all car manufacturers are now given the cheat codes (add half a ton of battery and motor) and told to make hay. Then our governments tax them like they're more efficient than a vw up!

@@pigeonpoo1823 I agree, the process is seriously flawed.

Nice review, very detailed 👍🏽 Im quet impres about Volvo, becouse you compared car what cost about 40.000€-45.000€ and 70.000€-90.000€ (im talk about used car in my country) ofcourse BMW is better but hey, the price is much higher than a Volvo.

@justjoe469 3 года назад

I'm on the Volvo XC60 inscription paid almost $60,000 for it and I do not like the car it's a full gasoline engine no battery well the battery in it but no battery to drive it but it's performance is very slow I could have got a car much cheaper with way more performance very disappointed and sad I've had a car for 4 months and I only have 200 miles on it.
