Are you looking to upgrade your luxury SUV but aren't quite sure where to start? Our Volvo dealership near Trevose has many impressive luxury SUVs for sale. However, Trevose, PA, drivers have various luxury SUVs to choose from, including the 2021 Volvo XC60 and the 2021 BMW X3. While they might seem alike at first, the Volvo XC60 thoughtfully incorporates luxurious designs, advanced safety features, and more. While the BMW X3 is certainly a luxurious SUV, we find the Volvo XC60 simply does it better. We'll examine both luxury SUVs under a microscope and leave it up to Trevose drivers to decide which model is best for them.
Performance
The 2021 Volvo XC60 and 2021 BMW X3 both have 2.0-liter turbocharged engines. However, the XC60 produces slightly more horsepower than the BMW: 250 horsepower versus 248 horsepower. If you find yourself driving beyond the pavement, the Volvo XC60 offers 8.5-inches of ground clearance while the BMW X3 only offers 7.2-inches. Easily travel to destinations beyond your imagination in the XC60.
The BMW X3 and 2021 Volvo XC60 make excellent competitors - they both tow thousands of pounds, seat five occupants, and offer all-wheel drive. The distinction between these two luxury SUVs is in the small details. The 2021 Volvo XC60 is a great family car for its fuel tank capacity advantage. A big fuel tank capacity means fewer trips to the gas station. If you frequently take your family on road trips beyond Pennsylvania, the XC60 would make an excellent addition. The BMW X3 has a 17.2-gallon fuel tank, while the Volvo XC60's fuel tank is 18.8-gallons. This small discrepancy in fuel tank size allows the 2021 Volvo XC60 to travel approximately 30 miles further than the BMW X3 on the highway. If you're traveling across multiple states, you'll arrive quicker in the 2021 Volvo XC60.
Design
Both the 2021 BMW X3 and 2021 Volvo XC60 deliver exquisite design results. However, as mentioned earlier, drivers can find the discrepancy between these two luxury SUVs in the small details. For example, both SUVs feature sizable digital driver displays. The LCD in the BMW sits on top of the dash, right above the manual climate and audio controls. The Volvo XC60 features a touchscreen placed right in the middle of the driver's controls. Without missing a beat, the driver can go to the same spot for Bluetooth connectivity, climate control, audio control, navigation, and more. This interactive design aids the driver in distraction-free driving.
When it comes to customization options, the 2021 Volvo XC60 offers various exterior colors and interior materials. The 2021 BMW X3 only offers variants of black and white - some even with an additional cost. The Volvo XC60 offers fun exterior colors like Denim Blue Metallic and Fusion Red Metallic. Inside the XC60, drivers can expect multiple designs to choose from, like blond leather, charcoal, brown, and Blonde City Weave Textile upholstery. Without additional cost, the BMW only offers black or beige upholstery.
Technology and Safety Features
If you're someone who loves having the latest technology, either model would suffice. While the BMW X3 offers features like remote trunk release, dual-zone climate control, and keyless start, so do common, non-luxury brands. The Volvo XC60 pampers occupants as a luxury SUV should. Trevose drivers can expect a moonroof, premium sound system, and hands-free liftgate as standard features in the Volvo XC60. These features, where available, add additional costs to the 2021 BMW X3.
Last but certainly not least, let's discuss safety features in both the BMW X3 and Volvo XC60. You can find advanced safety features like a rear parking aid, brake assistance, and a backup camera. However, lane-keeping assistance comes standard on the Volvo XC60. If the 2021 XC60 senses an unintentional drift, it will gently steer you back in your lane.
We've discussed performance, design, and technology: the big three for car shopping. Faulkner Volvo Cars Trevose has the 2021 Volvo XC60 for sale near Trevose. Visit our Volvo dealership to take the Volvo XC60 for a spin around Trevose, PA.
