HYBRID POWER
Volvo and BMW are both forward-thinking brands, and as such, they aim to vault drivers into the next generation of hybrid driving technology. Each of these sleek and agile sedans provides hybrid powertrain options to help you spend less time at the gas pump.
The difference? One of these vehicles opts for high speed to balance that high efficiency.
High-Powered Hybrid Trim Performance
In the 330e xDrive trim level of the BMW 3 Series, turbocharging and plug-in hybrid technologies combine for an output of 288 HP. That’s clearly no slouch!
However, the Volvo S60 goes above and beyond in the T8 eAWD Polestar Engineered hybrid trim level. With this robust powertrain, you’ll produce 415 combined HP. The 3 Series just can’t compete.
SAFETY
Both the Volvo S60 and BMW 3 Series come with driver-assistive technology that helps you anticipate and stay alert of any situation. These technologies include frontal collision detection systems to help you know when to take defensive maneuvers. Lane keeping systems in each car also assist in keeping you in your intended lane of traffic.
Safety Features and Driver-Assistive Technologies
The Volvo S60 includes a few extra driver-assistive technologies to keep you covered in risky situations. The blind spot information system (BLIS™) alerts you to traffic that's nearby but outside your field of vision. Thanks to this intelligent feature, you'll know when it is safe to change lanes.
This system also includes cross traffic alert. When you're backing out of a space in a crowded parking lot, this system will let you know if traffic is coming down the lane. That way, you can hit the brakes and avoid an impact.
