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 allow you to choose the perfect powertrain and keep the party going, 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, though, you’ll want to go with the Volvo XC60. It’s available with one of two engine options. The Lexus RX 350, on the other hand, is only available with one engine, although it also offers a variation with Hybrid Electric Drive.
How about efficiency? The Volvo XC60 has the edge there, too. Although both models have impressive fuel efficiency, you’ll still be able to travel farther and longer in the Volvo. That’s because it has a fuel tank capacity of 18.8 gallons, compared to the 17.8-capacity of the Lexus.
So, if you’re looking to keep the fun going and 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 riders. Folks in the second row may prefer the XC60, which provides 38 inches of legroom to stretch out, while the RX 350 offers 37.4 inches.
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 46.2 cubic feet. So, to make sure nothing needs to be left behind, choose the Lexus.
Both models also come with plenty of high-tech features. With either model you’ll be able to stay connected, engaged, and informed for every mile, using:
- Bluetooth® for hands-free calls and audio streaming
- Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration
- Wi-Fi® hotspot
So, queue up that road trip playlist, these luxury SUVs are ready to roll!
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 WHIPSâ„¢ 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.
In this showdown between the 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.
