Using XC90 T8 for almost a year, the best SUV i ever experienced! Quite numbers of dynamic and practical safety functions, make it my first choice family car especially for long distance travel. Good job Volvo 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I will go for the Volvo XC90 if I'm on the market to buy a big SUV, as it is more practical car and more comfortable to drive. If i want a sporty car, SUV definitely out of my radar.
I have driven both... the BMW is more expensive but the drive feeling is much better. Direct and sporty but better comfort at the same time. Both had nearly every extra on it.
As an American, it's interesting how Malaysian English sounds vaguely similar to Jamaican English. I like this review, particularly his wording about his personal preferences. Very professional and engaging. Also, you can get the Bowers & Wilkins sound system as a upgrade in the BMW.
Dude, I love your review as it comes with the best & thoughtful details and comparison for the genuine buyer who are seriously looking to buy these SUV (especially these two giants). Thumbs up.
while there are many bmw fans out there, i just feel in this segment, the xc90 just edges out all competition...though its a few years old, still looks immaculate for years to come
My dad owns a Volvo XC90 T8 r-design and we absolutely love it! One point that weren’t talked about is that you have massage in the front seats! I don’t know if it’s because we have R-design but it’s lovely. And we also have carbon fiber material where this car has wood. Love the vid btw!
If i have to pick these 2.Ofc X5 bc newer platforms and designs.If i want to choose volvo.i will pick xc60 is perfect enough and simple when maneuvers.
Comfort and everything included I'm all the way Volvo. Service is amazing. I've had a Volvo cars and SUVs for years and also a BMW. The BMW was not comfortable to drive the seats were hard. It had some nice stuff as far as infotainment design but Volvo stepped up the game and I love the integration with Google and such. Seamless. Volvo in black and everything is clean style and comfort all the way around
I have read that one reason Volvo has kept manually-adjustable steering columns in all their models is that it is safer that a powered one in certain kinds of accidents. Good review!
Both also cannot afford. Do they make an X5 xDrive06e M Sport with like a 660cc engine, without doors, windscreen, brakes, tyres, suspension, dashboard and aircon? I might be able to get that
Somehow I feel like the Volvo is made to last, maybe be a classic one day while the BMW is for the boy racer to trash and replace whenever a newer version is released... Elegance vs Garangness
Tbh bmw suvs do not look attractive at all, it's just look kinda soulless right beside the elegant xc90, when the xc90 passes by it's just give the head turning effect more. Heck even the mazda cx5 looks more attractive to me compared to the x5, bmw suvs just look soulless
U r right. Its an eye turner. Everytime there is an XC90 passed by, i never missed noticing it and admiring its beauty. Especially in white or black both with black tinted glass. I never had such impression when I bumped into the X5. The X7, probably.
The BMW X5 is much better than the Volvo, All the negatives in the interior, you can option, like better leather 2 choices, trim as well 5 different option, the real world mpg is massively better, i get 34 miles/54km on a full charge, once battery is depleted the engine charges battery, for every 1 mile you get 1 mile of ev, you are looking at 50mpg, 4.7l/100km...
@@hafrizshah4937 no problem hafriz, i only knew that one of the ZF plant also located in Pekan..Naza is on their way to open a new plant in Pekan, maybe for Hyundai/Kia since PSA has take over the plant in gurun. BTW you look struggle talking with the face mask. Lemassss. Haha
If you want to compare the power train. XC90 T8 407HP / 640Nm RX300 F sport 250HP / 350Nm I have never driven the RX300. But the XC90 drives like a sedan. Agile and feels like a rocket when u floor the pedal in Power mode drive. Super comfy to drive and ride. And its super convenient for the family.
@@hafrizshah4937 All said and done, got myself a Vellfire. Oklah kids are happy. But now rethinking maybe I should've gone with sportier big sized SUVs?
I don't know why these so-called "SUVs" height is lower than 1.8 metres... In America, their large size SUVs is often 1.9 metres or even 2m... So what's so SUV for these two models? Hmmm.
Lol xc90 got all the praise for interior, but now it looks “cheap”. I think practical > everything. Too fancy too many feature just makes your drive confused.
All my regular rich friends parents own big house, spend lavishly, and they drive cool cars. Man I’m so jealous. Yet still, i wonder how the extra rich lives
Lives in a big mansion, line up of cool cars in their underground garage. The garage alone probably looks like a car showroom. When u open the key box, a bunch of cool car keys hanging in it. You can find all the Germans, Italians and perhaps one special key from Sweden. Obviously not a Volvo. The other Swede if u know what i'm talking about. 😃
I agree with you on the pilot assist I tested the one in the E350 and its hard to look back How does volvo's system compare to the E350?, Also, the fact that a 450k bmw does not have is a joke ( i will be bombarded with fanboys saying that they will rather experience drivInG dzynaMicS and haNdlinG in a 4 hour traffic) Having those systems will not compromise ur ferrari handling titanic You can turn it off when ur doing mountain runs Nice review btw Did not notice 40 minutes passed haha
Drove both bought bmw, just a better car all round. Also you seem to showing a lot of options as standard fair on both cars such as B&W sound in Volvo’s as well rear entertainment in bmw. Volvo may be better for a larger family.
DONT BUY THE BMW, CUZ ITS DISASTER, SO SO MANY PROBS WITH ITS HYBRID POWERTRAIN, BEST WAY TO LITERALLY SET UR MONEY ON FIRE IS TO BUY THAT X5, TRUST ME, I'D BE SHOCKED IF U DIDN'T HAVE IT TOWED WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK, MY BMW PHEV I BOT BRAND NEW, DIDNT CHARGE THE EXACT NIGHT I PICKED IT UP
@@Kr0nicridah yeah, they do, but if u have to replace it more than 7 fucking times in just over 3 yrs of owning it, and btw each time it enters the sevice center, it takes almost a month, it is kinda blood annoying dont u think

Hands down- XC90 for safety. Volvo’s are so classy and less of them on the road. I like being different!
Volvo XC90 definitely. Steady & comfort.

Incorrect
Copium loser
As an American, it's interesting how
Malaysian English sounds vaguely similar to Jamaican English. I like this review, particularly his wording about his personal preferences. Very professional and engaging. Also, you can get the Bowers & Wilkins sound system as a upgrade in the BMW.
Not sure why he speaks like so. I’m sure he doesn’t talk like that in a normal conversation.
Dude, I love your review as it comes with the best & thoughtful details and comparison for the genuine buyer who are seriously looking to buy these SUV (especially these two giants). Thumbs up.
on 2020, XC90 still the best with semi autonomous safety, reduce stress
while there are many bmw fans out there, i just feel in this segment, the xc90 just edges out all competition...though its a few years old, still looks immaculate for years to come
Amen
Nothing like a inline 6 cylinder, the sound is perfection
My dad owns a Volvo XC90 T8 r-design and we absolutely love it! One point that weren’t talked about is that you have massage in the front seats! I don’t know if it’s because we have R-design but it’s lovely. And we also have carbon fiber material where this car has wood. Love the vid btw!
Is it 2020 model or old for the r - design.
massage seats wasnt anything new… u can even found it on E class CBU
Damn I miss *Driven* episodes powered by Petronas! This video is the perfect substitute. Paultan, bring it back please...
` I agree!
Yes, I will go for XC90... Good & safe car for family... interior premium quality materials used
Nice volvo ❤
Hi, a suggestion to put time markers on your videos now that UA-cam has them. ie. interior, exterior, the drive
Xc90 is comfortable and elegant.
X5 is sporty and faster.
If i have to pick these 2.Ofc X5 bc newer platforms and designs.If i want to choose volvo.i will pick xc60 is perfect enough and simple when maneuvers.

Rich is rich ...there's no regular or irregular😂
Hahaha! Rich that can afford 600k+ vs 400k, big difference la
Premium rich, perhaps? 😜
@@hafrizshah4937 yup but .2M for 2nd? 'acah2 rich' . Nah just joking 🤣 but brand new way much better 😉
I'm offroading with the X5 G05 on this channel (X5OR)
Very nice SUV
great and super detailed review. i love this video. thanks !
How about pitching the XC90 against the X7?
I have read that one reason Volvo has kept manually-adjustable steering columns in all their models is that it is safer that a powered one in certain kinds of accidents. Good review!
One of the best reviews, nutral and non bias. Well done!
Hafriz the man! Very detailed review even though a bit information overload
XC90: “more usable cubby space inside…”, unfortunately I still can’t find a suitable space to place my phone ☹️. Beside that, still loving it.
right finished watching the whole video...in summary for long distance with family get the xc90, x5 is more for twisty road and night drive
Gosh. 45 minutes !!! Better make a full featured documentary hahaha
Hahaha sorry, so many things to mention!
Can the bmw top up the electric battery if it’s not fully charged by just driving it on petroleum?
yes
Volvo XC90 ♥
Fair and unbiased comparison
Thanks for your genuine review and list out the buyer's concern. . Good car review Malaysia!
Volvo for life! How I wish I am already rich!
a very detailed comparisonnnn, great!!
2020 volvo xc90 T6 ada tak di Malaysia bro?
All the way BMW, gorgeous machine.
the BMW has semi autonomous driving as well. couldn't compare it yet, though.
Hi, just a input. PaulTan may put a voting in this kind of comparison video. And this is a very detail and great video!
Both also cannot afford. Do they make an X5 xDrive06e M Sport with like a 660cc engine, without doors, windscreen, brakes, tyres, suspension, dashboard and aircon? I might be able to get that
Thanks bro. Excellent video. Keep it coming
The suspension sags after 3-4 yrs for the B. Is it due to the heavy batts?

If you're still complaining bout depreciation value, you can't afford either one!
Just went for a test drive both last saturday, i would say xc90 more comfort & space. X5 more powerful very torqy

Ohh i never knew that BMW has it assembly plant in Pekan, Pahang
Sorry about that. I meant Kulim, obviously.

Me neither.
Hafriz..would happy if you review the new x6 after this😁
Xc90 t8 or rx300 f sport which one is a good buy, considering buy one but not sure which car depreciation better?
If you want to compare the power train.
XC90 T8
407HP / 640Nm
RX300 F sport
250HP / 350Nm
I have never driven the RX300. But the XC90 drives like a sedan. Agile and feels like a rocket when u floor the pedal in Power mode drive. Super comfy to drive and ride. And its super convenient for the family.
You can do cast function with the iPhone with a not too expensive Apps
regular rich... i’m in the regular poor 🤣😂
I am somewhat neither here nor there.😬
Thank you Hafriz
bmw not kulim?
should add the comparison with Mercedes GLE
Bruh in the beginning you were just putting bmw down, bruh they have one of the best infotainment screens, probably one of the best.
You can get bowers & Wilkins also in the bmw
i take Volvo XC90 100%
Nice , please do comparison between mazda 3, civic and altis
The steering wheel is on the wrong side :P
Xc90 gear knob looks like a man tool
Review bagus sampai tak perasan habis 45 minit
BMW 💙
What would Hafriz do (get) for a 7 seater? SUV or MPV
This XC90 is fantastic - I'd get it over an Alphard/Vellfire. But on a lower budget, an 8-seater Kia Grand Carnival would be great.
@@hafrizshah4937 All said and done, got myself a Vellfire. Oklah kids are happy. But now rethinking maybe I should've gone with sportier big sized SUVs?
The BMW is not assembled in Pekan, I think Hafriz has mistakenly reported it.
It's assembled at Kulim as per pop out info
Bmw looks ugly and volvo looks luxurious!
Should add comparerasion the Audi Q7 and Land Rover Discovery
how to contact or email u?
45 minutes for the X5 45e😂
Great reviews! Useful insights. Just lose the mask next time.
I don't know why these so-called "SUVs" height is lower than 1.8 metres... In America, their large size SUVs is often 1.9 metres or even 2m... So what's so SUV for these two models? Hmmm.
Would be better if you compare Mazda CX9 to Volvo XC90
So queria uma volvvo
Lol xc90 got all the praise for interior, but now it looks “cheap”. I think practical > everything. Too fancy too many feature just makes your drive confused.
Cannot compare with bmw, bmw is a driver choice. Xc90 head on with vellfire/alphard
the fancier the car the better hafriz dresses. hahah
Kalau lah aku kayaa🤧
i put it on Lexus
In Vietnam, these 2 cars have double the price

Definitely Volvo, when Family comes first.
I agree with you on the pilot assist
I tested the one in the E350 and its hard to look back
How does volvo's system compare to the E350?,
Also, the fact that a 450k bmw does not have is a joke
( i will be bombarded with fanboys saying that they will rather experience drivInG dzynaMicS and haNdlinG in a 4 hour traffic)
Having those systems will not compromise ur ferrari handling titanic
You can turn it off when ur doing mountain runs
Nice review btw
Did not notice 40 minutes passed haha
Just because people disagree with you doesn’t mean they’re fanboys
@@Kr0nicridah actually no
There is a difference between disagreeing and directly trash talking something without even experiencing it
450k without pilot assist, so funny
Drove both bought bmw, just a better car all round. Also you seem to showing a lot of options as standard fair on both cars such as B&W sound in Volvo’s as well rear entertainment in bmw. Volvo may be better for a larger family.
It is ridiculous that you are wearing a mask standing by yourself.
End of the day it depends on who does the driving & who's being driven.
Driving - volvo xc90.
Driven - toyota alphard.
Period.
Loos like you have given hint which one far more better when you said "put you money on" then your head move to volvo site.
watching at 1.5x speed..hihi
The FL XC90T8 is slower because of the added weight of battery and rims.
Volvo xc90 car is super super super
The malaysia version of the X5 45e sucks n makes it look as outdated as the xc90
No doubt, 6 cylinder all the way. But Volvo did a good job too.
45minit ... gmbr bumbung tk tunjuk pun
DONT BUY THE BMW, CUZ ITS DISASTER, SO SO MANY PROBS WITH ITS HYBRID POWERTRAIN, BEST WAY TO LITERALLY SET UR MONEY ON FIRE IS TO BUY THAT X5, TRUST ME, I'D BE SHOCKED IF U DIDN'T HAVE IT TOWED WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK, MY BMW PHEV I BOT BRAND NEW, DIDNT CHARGE THE EXACT NIGHT I PICKED IT UP
If you bought it brand new, you have warranty. They’ll replace the batteries for free.
@@Kr0nicridah yeah, they do, but if u have to replace it more than 7 fucking times in just over 3 yrs of owning it, and btw each time it enters the sevice center, it takes almost a month, it is kinda blood annoying dont u think
@@Kr0nicridah dont be fooled by that marketing bullshit free warranty crap
BMW looks like its have a big nose..sorry
So draggy. 45mins. As if i'm waiting movie.
Audi q7 way better than this 2
X5 anyday.. grandpa.. drives xc90 let him drive his volvo..
BMW inner headlights are still dummies
volvo..
I have driven both they are good quality but the bmw has better seats and is much smoother and the BMW X5 can have 7 seats
Boring verdict.
I hope you aren't wearing a mask outside anymore haha. What a joke!
The bmw interior in the bmw looks 10 year older than the beautiful volvo.
Volvo is only a 4 pot... sucks
BMW LOOKS LIKE A VAN 🚐 without sliding doors 🤔
