2020 Volvo S60 vs. 2019 BMW 2-Series

Offering a smooth ride in its comfortable cabin, the 2020 Volvo S60 deserves to be placed alongside the top-ranking luxury small cars that are out in the market today. The inclusion of a 12.3-inch touchscreen in its infotainment system is one thing that car buyers can look forward to.

Presenting more advanced safety features, the 2019 BMW 2-Series promises to take you to a whole new level of driving. It has a spacious trunk and offers an athletic yet comfortable handling.

Design & Style

Looking predominantly handsome like its previous brothers, the 2020 Volvo S60 knows how to present itself in terms of exterior styling. Interior design-wise, you will find comfortable seats to hold five people. This comes with side bolstering as well. You can also use power adjustments to easily find the position that will be most relaxing for you during the ride. The cabin is a mess- and clutter-free as well, and is defined by clean lines and the choice of premium quality materials for its construction.

In the case of the 2019 BMW 2-Series, you will find automatic wipers, 17-inch wheels, and LED headlights among its exterior design highlights. Inside it, there are folding rear seats that work to the comfort of those seating in front. Note though that the space at the back remains cramped for passengers.

Technology & Safety

Carrying a 12.3-inch touchscreen as a standard, there is much to expect in the Volvo in terms of technology and safety. True enough, the S60 knows how to impress along this line, with support for smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as the inclusion of two USB ports, a satellite radio, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Safety features include automatic high-beam headlights and a rearview camera as standard. Advanced driver aids, on the other hand, lists lane keep assist, lane departure warning, oncoming collision mitigation, traffic sign recognition, forward automatic emergency braking, road departure mitigation, forward collision warning, and pedestrian detection.

As for the 2019 BMW 2-Series, you will find a not-so-easy to deal with the iDrive infotainment system. You can give it points for a reliable navigation system, and its 6.5-inch display. Safety-wise, it offers daytime pedestrian monitoring, automatic high beams, active park assist, and rear and front parking sensors.

Performance

Carrying a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine, the 2019 BMW 2-Series generates up to 248 horsepower. This is defeated by the three engine variations carried by the S60. One of them is the T5 which yields up to 250 horsepower. The other variant is the T6 which is capable of producing up to 316 horsepower. The last one is the T8 which is paired with an electric motor for a result of up to 400 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

Designed to defeat even the most established brands out there, the 2020 Volvo S60 is truly one ride to watch out for, and consider buying. Its reliable technologies, plus its spectacular engine performance are yet some of the things that describe how it wins over the BMW 2-Series.
