The cars of the upper class are grouped in the rental car category XCAR at Sixt. All vehicles in this class are equipped with either two or four doors. Air conditioning is of course included. And do not worry, the equipment in the Sixt rental vehicles can also convince. The provider does not skimp at all when it comes to engine performance or additional equipment. Especially in Germany, Sixt is particularly popular due to its high-quality and brand-new fleet.
Volvo S90
The Volvo S90 with automatic transmission is a notchback sedan of the upper class. Above all, simple but still very elegant design characterize the cars of the Swedish car manufacturer. Particularly positive about the S90 is the high quality of workmanship and the materials used. A 9-inch display is installed in the center of the interior, which almost completely replaces all buttons for operation. If you know how to use your smartphone, operating the car shouldn’t be a problem either. The standard equipment already includes an infotainment system and a Bluetooth hands-free system. The S90 also scores well in terms of comfort. The suspension of the chassis clearly and pleasantly compensates for all unevenness in the road surface. A very balanced set-up, both for slow and fast driving. The front seats can be adjusted electrically and have a lumbar support. The massage function is particularly suitable for long-distance journeys. The Volvo also has a lot to offer in the area of the drive. Already the 190PS strong four-cylinder diesel engine convinces with impressive driving performance. It goes to 60mph in around 8 seconds. The slightly more powerful 235PS engine even manages it in just 7 seconds.
BMW 530
If you want to buy the BMW privately you have to put a lot of money on the table, so it is the ideal vehicle for a rental car. Thus, a very luxurious car can be driven inexpensively for a weekend. The current model generation of the BMW 5 Series is easy to recognize. Newly shaped 3D LED lights at the rear and a wide radiator are the distinctive identifying features. In the Sixt XCAR fleet, the BMWs are usually equipped with the sporty M package, which gives the car its special agility and sportiness. With 286hp under the hood and a mild hybrid system, the brand new BMW 5 Series reaches the 60mph mark in just 5.4 seconds. The very well-tuned 8-speed automatic and xDrive all-wheel drive do everything else to transfer the enormous power ideally to the road. Of course, several assistance systems are also on board. The German can be parked in even the tightest of parking spaces without any problems, thanks to numerous cameras and radar sensors. Practical highlights such as the head-up display or Business Package Plus in the Sixt BMW perfectly complement the driving experience. By the way, the car looks particularly great with the color Phytonic blue.
Volvo V90
Of course, the Volvo V90 must not be left out of the Sixt XCAR fleet. It is also available as a cross country version. Of course, the V90 shines in a similarly elegant design, as the S90. One is not used to anything else from Volvo. We were particularly impressed by the basic safety systems in the Volvo, although all Sixt vehicles are equipped with a few extras. For example, there is the IntelliSafe system which monitors the entire front area of the car by means of a camera and radar combination. Thus, in critical situations, the rental car can brake independently or supports autonomous driving. Not only modern technology makes driving in the V90 particularly safe, but also the chassis enjoys a very good set-up. The driving stability is outstanding. Even jerky movements at the steering wheel are mastered by the Volvo V90 and never let the car get into a critical driving situation. The ESP intervenes particularly early, which again significantly increases safety. Of course, the drive also has a real highlight. For example, at Sixt, the vehicle is available with the 235PS diesel variant. This allows acceleration to 60mph in just 6 seconds. Comfort is also very important to Volvo. The rear axle has an air suspension and adaptive damper control. This takes the driving experience to a whole new level, which will give every passenger in the V90 great pleasure.
