What the format costs, before what it brings
A premium SUV is chosen for its volume and its ride height. It is paid for in annual tax, warranty and depreciation. Two models in our Belgian tracking set meet the brief of a family of five. Prices recorded on 1 August 2026 on Moniteur Automobile, re-checked on 2 August 2026.
Volvo EX90 — from €84,490
The largest body in our tracking set. List-price range: €84,490 to €107,490. Its Brussels road tax is recorded at €92.93 a year on the model sheet — an amount any combustion car of this size would multiply tenfold.
The Service Plan Plus covers wear parts, which matters on a heavy, loaded vehicle, but it must be taken out within three months of delivery. No published residual value: Volvo is absent from the 2025 Autovista awards.
BMW iX3 — from €61,950
The tightest list-price range in our whole tracking set: €61,950 to €69,900, less than €8,000 between entry and top trim. For a family building a budget with options to arbitrate, that figure is as useful as the starting price.
The Service Inclusive package contains no engine oil, no spark plugs and no fuel filter. Absent from the 2025 Autovista electric SUV podium: no published residual value.
✓ Pros
- Tight list-price range: less than €8,000 of spread
- Servicing without engine oil, spark plugs or fuel filter
- €22,540 less than the EX90 at entry level
✗ Cons
- Shorter body than the EX90
- No published residual value
