All good nice

the car feels royal, especially from the back and front. it is a luxury car with all the creature comfort you would expect at this price point and which is largely ignored by the German.

A car for "Sheer driving pleasure"

This bimmer is different from any car ever made by BMW. The best thing about this car is its music and I am NOT referring to the sound of the radio but the ENGINE. the mighty 4.0 liter V8 engine produces a massive 420 bhp of power designed in the M labs of BMW where its F1 engines are designed. It is the most advanced V8 engine in the world and is absolutely a thrill to drive. You can change the chassis and the suspension setting with. the touch of the button located on the steering wheel. Once to Turn the traction control off and then put the car in sport mode then there is nothing controlling that mighty engine except you the car just accelerates from 0-100kmph in just 5.7sec and that is really fast. This BMW also offers a DCT (double clutch transmission) which keeps the car accelerated even during the superfast gear change. Thus making this car BMW have stand by their quote of "Sheer Driving pleasure" and this car is nothing but that.<br>Power,acceleration, handling,comfortSpeed limited to 250kmph,too many gadgetss

Volvo XC90 B6 Ultimate facelift — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre22 Sep 2022

Volvo's flagship SUV in India is this XC90. In its latest iteration, it gets some new features, some new exterior shades, but the design and styling remains the same. And this is particularly good, for it retains its mature demeanor with sheer elegance. Peculiar highlights like the Thor-hammer shaped DRLs and tall tail lamps continue to shine on a big SUV with neat proportions.
