2020 Volvo S60 vs. 2020 Honda Insight

A solid, safety-forward vehicle with attractive styling is what you can expect in the 2020 Volvo S60. Fitted with top of the line interior design and equipped with one of the most comfortable seats in the market, the S60 cabin alone makes it to the top of the list in its class. 

Honda automakers came up with a wild exterior styling for the latest 2020 Honda Insight. Recognized as a fuel-efficient family sedan fitted with a suite of technology and comfortable cabin, the Insight is a popular choice among families. 

Design & Style

Attractive, simple, and clean, the Volvo S60 comes fitted with brown leather and black structural components. With grainy wood accents trims made with premium materials, the S60 cabin is certainly impressive. Apart from its gorgeous design and comfortable seats, the Volvo S60 offers a genuine family-friendly interior space that provides plenty of room for hauling passengers comfortably.

A little more upscale than its Civic cousin, the Honda Insight provides more features and room than most of its siblings. Unlike the S60, the Insight has no lumbar support and feels slightly more cramp on the rear seats. The rear seats, however, can be folded down to haul bulky items and the large cargo space makes it easier to load a variety of items.

Technology & Safety

Compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the S60 Volvo Sensus infotainment system provides passengers with a robust suite of technology. Other features include Bluetooth integration, speech to text, and more. Like most models, the Volvo S60 is equipped with a suite of safety features that include hill start assist, lane-keeping assist, and tons of airbags.

The Insight is fitted with a 5.0-inch touch screen that offers a basic infotainment system that is simple to use. If you require a larger 8.0-inch touch screen and smartphone integration features, you might want to consider the upper trim levels such as the EX and Touring models. Like most 2020 Honda vehicles, the Insight comes packed with a suite of driver assistance features called the Honda Sensing.

Performance

With a 2.0-liter engine that delivers 250 horsepower, the Volvo S60 is an amazing comfortable commuter and a highway cruiser at the same time. Offering a plethora of driver aids, great handling, and precision steering, the S60 can reduce fatigue during long road trips.

During hard acceleration, the Honda Insight can get noisy at times. Delivering a mere 151 horsepower, the engine is otherwise quiet and refined during a serene drive. It handles confidently on highways as well as windy roads. It offers drivers with solid handling and supple suspensions that soaks up uneven surfaces.

The Bottom Line

Fun, playful, and classy, the 2020 Volvo S60 is a phenomenal highway cruiser that is catered for everyone. Whether you are looking to go for an adventure or a tranquil road trip, the S60 can perform well in any occasion. Equipped with a powerful engine, upscale interior, and plenty of room to haul passengers and cargo, the S60 is here to impress.

The 2020 Honda Insight offers great fuel economy, comfortable ride, and roomy interior to its passengers. It performs adequately around town, but the engine can sound coarse during aggressive acceleration.
