Since when is anything with 400hp underpowered?
My wife's Volvo XC90 is 4500 lbs and it's 300 hp inline 4 is more than enough to get it moving fast. |
Off topic…but I disagree on the Volvo comment (we had the XC90 and the X5 at the same time).
I think the XC90 is underpowered for highway acceleration. I guess it's fine for cruising at highway speeds (but it takes a lot less power to keep anything in motion).
Also, the fuel consumption is terrible for how small that engine is. Our G05 X5 was significantly faster, and more fuel efficient…
I just think 300hp from BMW is different than Volvo.
And back to our regularly scheduled programming! |
Completely agree. I dumped our XC90 because I got tired of the lackluster acceleration. Nice car otherwise.
