Comparison Review

Comfort
The BMW 228 Gran Coupe offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Volvo S60 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volvo S60, the BMW 228 Gran Coupe may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
With the Volvo S60 you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the BMW 228 Gran Coupe, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the BMW 228 Gran Coupe is clearly a better financial choice over the Volvo S60.

Dimensions
Since the BMW 228 Gran Coupe is much slimmer than the Volvo S60, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the BMW 228 Gran Coupe, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volvo S60.

Handling
The BMW 228 Gran Coupe has about the same turning radius as the Volvo S60, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The BMW 228 Gran Coupe has less horsepower than the Volvo S60, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the BMW 228 Gran Coupe and the Volvo S60 do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 228 Gran Coupe and the Volvo S60.
