2025 Volvo XC90 PHEV vs. BMW X5 PHEV: Compare Luxury Plug-in Hybrid SUVs in Portland, OR

The Volvo XC90 PHEV is a superb luxury SUV with classy accommodations, premium amenities, and sophisticated Scandinavian styling. It's also enjoyable to drive, thanks to its potent powertrain, confident handling, smooth ride, and electric-only capability. Here's a quick look at how it compares in a few key areas to a prominent class competitor, the BMW X5 xDrive50e.

Volvo XC90 PHEV vs. BMW X5 PHEV: Performance

The Volvo XC90 PHEV combines a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric powertrain to produce 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque. An 18.8-kWh battery helps to achieve an EPA-estimated 66 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent) and 35 miles of pure-electric range.

The BMW X5 xDrive50e recently received a significant upgrade, using a 3.0-liter twin-turbo I6 PHEV with 483 horsepower, 516 pound-feet of torque, and 58 MPGe. BMW estimates the X5 PHEV's electric-only range to be ~38 miles.

Volvo XC90 PHEV vs. BMW X5 PHEV: Accommodations and Utility

The Volvo XC90's standard three-row arrangement makes it better suited for larger families. The BMW X5 offers a third row as an optional add-on, but it isn't as accommodating as the XC90. If cargo capacity is a high priority, the Volvo XC90 also comes out on top, offering 42 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 85.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. The BMW X5 PHEV has just 33.9 cubic feet behind the second row and 72.3 cubic feet behind the first.

Volvo XC90 PHEV vs. BMW X5 PHEV: Technology

The XC90 and X5 both offer many advanced safety features in their base configuration, including forward collision mitigation, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning. However, the XC90 also comes standard with several technologies that the X5 reserves as costly options or doesn't offer at all. Examples include:

  • Pilot Assist (semi-autonomous driving system)
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Lane Keeping Aid
  • Oncoming Lane Mitigation
  • Adaptive power steering
  • Slippery Road Alert
