GS-6 Vs. The Competition

Karma GS-6 vs. BMW 550e xDrive and Volvo S90 Recharge: Compare Luxury Plug-In Hybrid Sedans in Westfield, NJ

Go the distance in a Karma GS-6, a plug-in hybrid sedan that's a true go-getter in the luxury market. You're able to carve corners on the streets of Cranford, NJ in the Karma GS-6 and go cruising down the Garden State Parkway to Union, NJ in style. It's clear the GS-6 - available at Karma Westfield - gives you the classic grand touring experience, but how does the plug-in hybrid compare to premium competitors like the BMW 550e xDrive and the Volvo S90 Recharge? We've done the legwork with a head-to-head comparison of these three plug-in hybrid sedans.

Karma GS-6 vs. BMW 550e xDrive

  • Range: The 33 miles of electric driving range for the plug-in hybrid models from the BMW 5 Series is enough for a short daily jaunt, but a Karma GS-6 can power your journeys to Union, NJ both today and tomorrow. The Karma GS-6 has an electric range of 80 miles, which is enough to make three round trips from Montclair, NJ to your home in Woodbridge Township, NJ. The Karma GS-6 can then run on gas in hybrid mode, resulting in a total driving range of 360 miles. The 62 MPGe rating for the Karma GS-6 will pay dividends on your annual gas expense sheet. BMW 550e models do not currently have an official MPGe rating.
  • Performance: BMW 550e xDrive models generate 483 horsepower, which is noteworthy but still falls 53 horsepower short of the Karma GS-6. Unleash a GS-6 on the streets of Cranford, NJ, as you accelerate with ease through higher performance outputs of 536 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. The BMW 550e delivers 516 pound-feet of torque.
  • Cabin: The 5 Series plug-in hybrid models feature a BMW Curved Display with a hybrid-specific design but cannot match the Karma GS-6 hybrid's 3D haptic touch technology. Active noise cancellation is another unique feature for the Karma GS-6, resulting in quieter and more serene rides back home to Westfield, NJ.
  • Charging: Charging times for the BMW 550e xDrive are between two and three hours. Get on the road again with limited down time with the Karma GS-6, which takes only 34 minutes to recharge.

Karma GS-6 vs. Volvo S90 Recharge

  • Range: While the Volvo S90 Recharge has a 66 MPGe rating, its all-electric range is only 38 miles. The Karma GS-6 has a 62 MPGe rating but more than double the miles of electric driving range. With 80 miles in pure electric mode, you can drive your Karma GS-6 from Woodbridge Township, NJ to Union, NJ multiple times before recharging or switching to hybrid power.
  • Performance: Karma GS-6 models for sale in Westfield, NJ top the Volvo S90 Recharge by 81 horsepower and 27 pound-feet of torque. The S90 plug-in hybrid delivers 455 combined horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque, while the Karma GS-6 generates 536 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque.
  • Charging: Charge times for the Volvo S90 Recharge are three hours, but Karma GS-6 models have a significantly shorter charging window of 34 minutes. Plug in your Karma GS-6 at a charging station around Union, NJ or Cranford, NJ, and get going again in just a half hour.
  • Cabin: While the Volvo S90 Recharge has a host of premium amenities inside the cabin, it cannot counter the industry-leading digital architecture offered by the Karma GS-6, which also has active noise cancellation. The Volvo S90 plug-in hybrid is missing active noise cancellation from its roster of interior features, and its Google built-in suite cannot quite counter the 3D haptic touch technology in the Karma GS-6, which creates an engaging and connected driving environment.
