Honestly, I really like how the way u guys do comparison reviews. Put out personal feeling, unbiased (I think) thoughts, kutuk n praise at the same time. Please come out more review like this. Other note, Matt has improved! Great job!
The reason why i love the volvo xc90 a lot.. 1 It's sexy n gorgeous ( 4 an SUV ) 2 The interior is the next level 3 It's got the best touchscreen in a car 4 It got me excited about packaging 5 And it has a crystal shift knob 6 Attention to detail 7 So much safety tecnologies in this car 8 Thors hammer headlights etc... #Volvoselamanya..
one big consideration when buying these hybrid suvs is the battery cost and placement. if im not mistaken the x5's battery is placed in the trunk and costs about ~10k so it is easy to replace and not that costly, whilst the xc90's battery is in the transmission tunnel so most likely difficult to replace and im not sure about the cost of battery
GC & Matt, glad u guys the first Malaysian automotive team to come up with this comparison as before i only review on foreign channel.. please can u guys campare BMW f30 320d vs 330e interm of power delivery and economical? Yea i know 330e is mean to replace the the lovely torque thruster 320d.. but how does 330e better than 320d? It sad though no more 320d on sale
Thanks for the support Haikal. Well, technically the 330e is not replacing the 320d. BMW Malaysia stopped selling the diesel because there is very little demand for it. What more with the tax incentive for CKD hybrid cars, it's more feasible to focus on 330e.
AutoBuzz.my i see, though its as replacement... still, can u guys compare both of them on term of Fuel economy and power delivery... does bmw hybrid electric motor supply the power simultaneously with combustion engine or it alternately between each other?
Thanks for this brilliant yet informative review guys! I've viewed this video for few times (not less than 10 views for sure hehe) After all and after few times of testdriven as well on both cars, i've made up my mind and made a toughful desicion, I opted to settle with the X5 😅 Just got my car in last 2 weeks.. Even your review can be tought more bias to XC90, to me personally, BMW has an 'X Factor' which couldn't be found in any other brands 😜 or perhaps I'm a die-hard fan of Bimmer? haha Anyway, thanks again and keep up a good job!
Good to have you both in action again. Good job on the review. Length of video is good too, not too short unlike most of your videos. Keep up the good work.
Previously I was a volvo sedan owner & it was a fine good car. Just for a change of air, I now own the x5 and its brilliant too. Both brand are doing very well for the future nevertheless. Good video comparison guys! keep it up!
Wow. I must say this comparison video is very informative. When you compare this to Paul Tan and Roda Pusing, I would say your videos are more straight to the point and its the flow is so smooth and fast. Please make MORE COMPARISON videos with cars like proton and perodua(more affordable).(Also, you two make a good duo. Please consider my suggestion!)
for the record, it would be more than 15k price difference. the x5 come with 5 year or 100k km free scheduled service. that alone is approx RM 5k to RM 10k depending on the km you drive. But I do agree that xc has crazy torque.
Conclusion didn't sound consistent with the earlier parts of the review... the conclusion could have been clearer and therefore, more helpful. Other than that, great review guys! Interesting, refined and thorough. Proud of AutoBuzz!
Good review guys! Just a reminder, since you demonstrated child seat attachment - the seat should be placed opposite direction up til the child is about 3 years old. Sudden impact may risk the child's neck to break if facing forward because of the whiplash effect.
Try and review the BMW X1 or any other BMW that has an X 😂 Tentu vidio yang terbaik saya telah menonton. Nice camera angles though! From your neighbouring country, Singapore.
Hi guys, very good comparison well presented, I have few issues with xc90 in hot climate especially when the temperature reach 45 + degrees Celsius, the car tends to be suffocating.
nice review, could of done a drag race to see which one accelerates better haha. heard the hybrid xc90 is all big on paper but not so much on the road whilst the x5 might have lower figures on paper but bmw always downplays their specs, lets not forget the n20 engine on the x5 is actually 240 hp on the wheels (whp) as tested by motortrend so its engine is actually producing close to 280Bhp.
Excellent review on both car. My personal input will be the long term total-cost-of-ownership (TCO), i.e. maintenance. Volvo's transmission has been well known for short transmission life in last 20 years (but could be longer). In other word, the transmission break down in about 10 years, and as early as 7 yr. It is a RM$2k-5k to fix the existing transmission, or replace it (higher cost) with a used one, but the 1 yr warranty is useless, as it will fail again in 3-5 yr time. It has happened to 2-3 people that I known Therefore, BMW has a lower TCO. Transmission is as solid as Honda/Toyota (famous ZF transmission) after year 2007, and never heard any issue for any model after year 2011. As a owner + DIY for year 2000 BMW, this car is easy to repair yourself, low maintenance (higher TCO than Honda) among German car. Both depreciate much faster than Japanese car, e.g. Lexus, but that is expected, and normal for all luxury German car
I love both vehicles, but I chose the BMW X5 xDruve49e just recently. This video was terribly biased toward the Volvo. There was nothing impartial about it. I was reluctant to buy a Volvo, in as much as that company is transitioning completely away from internal combustion motors. I know, however, I would have been happy with either vehicle.
one thing i dont really like about this volvo model. it's the screen. actually i really dont like all instrument are integrated inside the screen. for example aircond. come on. it make it is hard to used and it will be slight delayed to changed from one setting to the another. can they just used the screen for radio, gps and entertainment system only..haish..it is not bad to add more switch inside the cabin...see the peugeout 3008 interior design. it is brilliant. that piano alluminium switch like lambo style.
Guys...well done...I've always wanted to do a comparison on my car against the BMW X5 40e. I'm glad I didn't make that mistake. How about a rematch. Volvo against the MB GLE 500e.
Wow, thank you for doing english reviews! It is very refreshing and interesting to hear your perspective AutoBuzz. Great review!
Honestly, I really like how the way u guys do comparison reviews. Put out personal feeling, unbiased (I think) thoughts, kutuk n praise at the same time. Please come out more review like this. Other note, Matt has improved! Great job!
two of my favourite reviewers 👌
This Volvo is a game changer!!
The reason why i love the volvo xc90 a lot..
1 It's sexy n gorgeous ( 4 an SUV )
2 The interior is the next level
3 It's got the best touchscreen in a car
4 It got me excited about packaging
5 And it has a crystal shift knob
6 Attention to detail
7 So much safety tecnologies in this car
8 Thors hammer headlights etc...
#Volvoselamanya..
Moon Light I wouldn't say Volvo have the best touchscreen, it's Tesla that has the best in the industry.
Zoki T but is Tesla available in Malaysia?
hahahaha is what is that shit?
no. 3 are you serious? its one of bader touchscreens...
I have a XC90
xc90 all the way!!!

Great video. Lobe the XC90, BTW, it does say that no one over 160CM should sit in the 3rd row of the Volvo
Watching this right after the latest upload XC90 T5 review :)
You've been living under a stone all this while? 😋
@@autobuzzmy no. Last time watch it on either March / April 😁 watch it back after the latest video to see which one is better 😊
Previously I was a volvo sedan owner & it was a fine good car. Just for a change of air, I now own the x5 and its brilliant too. Both brand are doing very well for the future nevertheless. Good video comparison guys! keep it up!

VOLVO ALL THE WAY !!!
nice.goodjob bros!
Thanks bro!
Terbaik perbezaan yg diberi, setuju dgn Kerusi belakang x5 tak berapa Selesa Kalau nak dibanding kan dgn xc90
for the record, it would be more than 15k price difference. the x5 come with 5 year or 100k km free scheduled service. that alone is approx RM 5k to RM 10k depending on the km you drive. But I do agree that xc has crazy torque.
Conclusion didn't sound consistent with the earlier parts of the review... the conclusion could have been clearer and therefore, more helpful. Other than that, great review guys! Interesting, refined and thorough. Proud of AutoBuzz!
Look like the new XC60 would be a steal.
We cant wait for that to arrive!
xc60 R- designe T8 + polestar.
more videos like these please ! 😀
Cool stuff... How about a video between BMW 330e vs Merc C350e as well... since both locally assembled here as well. Great job guys...
Thanks! Hmm.. maybe we should!
thanks for the video, I did enjoy it. Thinking of buying the XC90, you two lovely guys are so much helpful. Cheers!
To me XC90 is far more beautiful and interior very elegant and solid .Any angle view for XC90 is beautiful.
thanks for the video.
Good review guys! Just a reminder, since you demonstrated child seat attachment - the seat should be placed opposite direction up til the child is about 3 years old. Sudden impact may risk the child's neck to break if facing forward because of the whiplash effect.
this is nice, keep up the comparison series
volvo xc90 is the best suv 2016
Very good review ..
Thanks, guys!
Nice video! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! NEED MORE OF THIS :)
Amazing video, much better than Paul Tan or Bobby! Good job keep it on!
Thank you!
Volvo : I have 2 inches
BMW : I have 5 inches
RangeRover : Hides in shame
when it gets out, barely to hold
Well not the range rover sport
the volvo just looks so good and so premium
Love the comparison, but not the background music I am afraid, it was quite annoying :/ But keep up the good work :)
Very good review! Nice little jokes and music.
Good review guys
Try and review the BMW X1 or any other BMW that has an X 😂 Tentu vidio yang terbaik saya telah menonton. Nice camera angles though! From your neighbouring country, Singapore.
Hello Singapura!
Thanks for the review.I like it!
I bought the BMW x5 with balloon financing, after 3 years i can trade in, get brand new 5 series or new x5. But the xc90 looks so good.
hey! join us on fb bmw 330e club malaysia..x5 owner here too!
Keep up the good work guys 👌 volvo for life! 🤣
Sat in the BMW today it is very nice
very nice comparison!
Hi guys
Well done
thanks from India !!!!
Do you hv problem or feeling not comfortable with T8 braking?. Just some opinion
Very good video, thanks
Great review! Have a BMW X5 lease which is up in 3 months. Trying to decide what to get next; XC90, Jeep, 540i or another X5. This video helps...
Lil Riggs Xc90 or Jeep
Hi guys, very good comparison well presented, I have few issues with xc90 in hot climate especially when the temperature reach 45 + degrees Celsius, the car tends to be suffocating.
GC is back!!!!!
i've always been around! :P
Love the way two talk hahaha (Nothing against you! but really reminds me on those highschool south-Asian buddies.)
I love the review and music! How can I find the music?
I Love Your VIdeo
Nice one Mah. T8 all the way !
Thanks!
Awesome collaboration you two! Just can't stop laughing when u guys trying to trash each other. :D
which one has the better hifi system
The BMW
the dont sell it with B&O here. so BMW wins
julianlee2 volvo with bowers and wilkins ... is just wonderful especially for hip hop and trap music
BMW
This video is awesome. Will proceed with volvo! U guys awesome!
Please do merc glc 250 amg line
You guys are doing a great job!
Damn that Volvo looks sexy, the X5 showing its age. They need to step up the X5 interior and exterior design.
nice review, could of done a drag race to see which one accelerates better haha. heard the hybrid xc90 is all big on paper but not so much on the road whilst the x5 might have lower figures on paper but bmw always downplays their specs, lets not forget the n20 engine on the x5 is actually 240 hp on the wheels (whp) as tested by motortrend so its engine is actually producing close to 280Bhp.
Drag race.... hmmm...
Excellent review on both car.
My personal input will be the long term total-cost-of-ownership (TCO), i.e. maintenance.
Volvo's transmission has been well known for short transmission life in last 20 years (but could be longer). In other word, the transmission break down in about 10 years, and as early as 7 yr. It is a RM$2k-5k to fix the existing transmission, or replace it (higher cost) with a used one, but the 1 yr warranty is useless, as it will fail again in 3-5 yr time.

Both depreciate much faster than Japanese car, e.g. Lexus, but that is expected, and normal for all luxury German car
Can you explain what happens to the power and torque when batteries aren’t charged in plug in hybrids?would it be sluggish?
Don't mind if u guys review the bmw i8?
volvo !!!!
The X5 rear entertainment unit has a remote control (like a TV remote)
You can slide the 2nd row so you have more kneeroom in the 3rd row.
You're right! Provided they are nice people seated on the 2nd row
lol mah is back😚😆
The man himself is back!! Are you guys happy now?
yes i'm back! but wait.. i've always been around!
the paddles are optional on volvos, but THEY DO EXIST, if you want them
I believe they have updated the BMW X5 i drive interface similar to the new 5 series now
Is this X5 hybrid a 5 seater or 7 seater?
Guys would you mind making a review about Chevrolet cruze.
and the differences between the old and new.
i'm really looking into 2014 and 2016 model.
volvo has just 100 horse extra power ?thats corect?
Just got the bmw x5. Feels amazing to drive
XC90 all the way!!!
My X5 40e has touch screen (did you try it?)
Hey! join us on fb bmw 330e club malaysia..x5 owner here too!
SAM ZZ hi, is X5 oso get a group? wanna join as well
Shamsul Sulaiman yup it does. I don't know why the chap stressed twice that it doesn't have one.
I go for XC90
Where's the GLC?
I love both vehicles, but I chose the BMW X5 xDruve49e just recently. This video was terribly biased toward the Volvo. There was nothing impartial about it. I was reluctant to buy a Volvo, in as much as that company is transitioning completely away from internal combustion motors. I know, however, I would have been happy with either vehicle.
Is it still in english?!?
Very helpful thank you, i m full bmw guy but i have to say X5 wasent at all that good as xc90 so i keep driving with my T8 XC90 😁
one thing i dont really like about this volvo model. it's the screen. actually i really dont like all instrument are integrated inside the screen. for example aircond. come on. it make it is hard to used and it will be slight delayed to changed from one setting to the another. can they just used the screen for radio, gps and entertainment system only..haish..it is not bad to add more switch inside the cabin...see the peugeout 3008 interior design. it is brilliant. that piano alluminium switch like lambo style.
I LOVE VIDEO
I wanna volvo xc90... where buy it... im indonesian....
like this type of video
What's RM?
Guys...well done...I've always wanted to do a comparison on my car against the BMW X5 40e. I'm glad I didn't make that mistake. How about a rematch. Volvo against the MB GLE 500e.
You can change the air conditioning via he voice control !! so easy, why did you ignore this ?
In indonesia the T6 cost rm 550k , in malay 403k can get T8, far cheaper
XC90 hands down
The BMW really looks really dated when you guys showed XC90. Damn that interior is gorgeous
review the bmw m6 grand coupe
GC would love to to review the M6 GC!
Ah.. my car!
Xc90 is 😻😻😻
