SUVs like the Volvo XC60 and the Lexus RX 350 are known for their immense power under the hood. If you’re looking for a model that will sing beneath your feet, though, there’s a clear winner. Let’s dive in to learn more.
You’ll find plenty of power under the hood of either SUV. If you love having the power of choice, you’ll want to go with the Volvo XC60. It’s available with one of three engine options. The Lexus RX 350, on the other hand, is only available with one engine.
Both models are available with a 295-horsepower engine. If you want even more oomph, however, you’ll want to go with the Volvo XC60. Its optional T8 powertrain boasts a whopping 400 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque.
How about efficiency? The Volvo XC60 has the edge there, too. Its base configuration boasts an EPA-estimated 23 city and 30 highway MPG.* Compare that to the base configuration of the Lexus RX 350. It’s only capable of an EPA-estimated 20 city and 27 highway MPG.
If you’re looking to cut back on fuel stops, the Volvo XC60 is waiting for you.
From drives to work and happy hours with friends to playdates for the kids, your SUV needs to be ready to handle it all. Both the Volvo XC60 and the Lexus RX 350 have impressive interiors that will make it easy to please everyone.
When you step inside these luxury SUVs, you’ll be greeted with a similar amount of passenger space. Both models come standard with seating for five and give the folks in the second row a matching 38 inches of legroom to stretch out.
If you’re packing up for a gardening project or your next vacation, the XC60 has the advantage in the cargo department. Lower the rear seats to open 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space. The cargo hold of the Lexus RX 350 can only accommodate up to 58.5 cubic feet.
Both models also come with plenty of high-tech features. You can stream your favorite tunes with Bluetooth®, and when that new song comes on, you’ll want to be in the XC60.
Its standard sound system comes with 10 speakers, while the system in the RX 350 only features nine. Get ready to crank up the sound on your road trips.
From checking your blind spot to keeping a safe pace behind the vehicle ahead, there are many helpful uses of advanced safety features. On both the Volvo XC60 and the Lexus RX 350, you’ll find multiple driver-assistance technologies to get safely from Point A to Point B.
When it comes to safety technology, these luxury SUVs have plenty in common. In fact, they both come standard with the following:
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)
- Cross Traffic Alert
- Lane Keeping Aid
The WHIPS™ Whiplash Protection System, however, is a Volvo-exclusive safety innovation, so it only comes standard with the XC60. It helps reduce the risk of whiplash injury if your vehicle is hit from behind by moving the entire front backrest and head restraint with the occupant to support the neck and spine.
If you need help parking, both SUVs will have your back. They’ll also have your sides and front, thanks to their available 360° surround-view cameras that expand your field of vision to show everything around the vehicle.
In this showdown between the 2022 Volvo XC60 and the Lexus RX 350, it’s clear that superior safety, a more spacious interior, and optimal fuel efficiency have pulled the XC60 ahead of the competition.
