Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW 740 than the Volvo S60. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volvo S60, the BMW 740 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 740 as you will with the Volvo S60, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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). The BMW 740 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volvo S60, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The BMW 740 is a little wider than the Volvo S60, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the BMW 740, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volvo S60.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW 740 has a much more powerful engine than the Volvo S60. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the BMW 740 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Volvo S60.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 740 and the Volvo S60.
