Customization options.
When it comes to personalizing your SUV for Omaha commutes, the Volvo XC40 has a better range of options to choose from than the BMW X1. The BMW SUV has two trims and a few packages, while the Volvo XC40 has a full menu of options that includes multiple trims and special add-ons.
Electrified version.
Bellevue drivers who love the style and design of a compact SUV, but who crave one that has the efficiency and smooth performance of hybrid or electric engineering, have just one choice in this comparison - the Volvo XC40. Not only is there a fully electric XC40 called the Volvo XC40 Recharge, but every Volvo XC40 that's not an EV gets a mild hybrid engine. The BMX X1 has neither of these cutting-edge engines available in its lineup.


Safety features.
The Volvo reputation for safety features is legendary and renowned around the world. Drivers trust Volvo to protect them and their families with the latest technologies, and the XC40 has a slew of impressive features you'll be sure to love. In fact, it has more standard than the BMW X1, such as front parking sensors.
Luxury amenities.
Not only does the Volvo XC40 have a robust list of safety features, but it also has an incredible array of luxurious amenities as well. Next to the BMW X1, drivers can expect more luxury touches right out of the gate, such as heated seats, which are standard for every Volvo XC40 trim level, but only available as an optional add-on for the BMW X1.


Tech features.
As with luxury and safety, so too does the Volvo XC40 have more tech features as well. For example, every XC40 gets a full roster of tech features that includes keyless entry and a wireless device charging pad. Neither of these features come standard on the BMW X1 and are only available as add-on amenities.
