2020 Volvo S90 vs. 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-class

Volvo and Mercerdes-Benz are two renowned car brands in the industry with a rich history behind them. This is particularly true when you have models like C-Class and Volvo S90 on offer. In case you are looking to purchase one of them, the below comparison may help.

Design & Style

The 2020 Mercedes Benz C-Class is available in four-seat coupe and a 5-seater sedan version. The front seats are decent, but lack of lateral support pushes it down. The overall interior design is minimalistic and sleek, along with cool touches, although you will find some hard plastics as well.

On the other, the S90 is an impressive choice when it comes to well-cushioned seats and ample interior space across both the rows. Taller folks can take a sigh of relief, when it comes to legroom on offer. The interior is replete with high-grade materials with plenty of soft touch points.

Technology & Safety

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is equipped with an 10.25-inch infotainment screen, which looks tacked on. It may be difficult to see it from the driver's seat. You can control the system using a rotary knob or the optional touchpad. You may take a little time to understand the system completely. Some other key features include 5-speaker stereo, HD radio, USB ports, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi hot spot. Speaking of safety, some of the standard features include driver attention monitoring, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection and forward collision warning.

Sensus infotainment is the key headline for the tech features offered by Volvo S90. It comes standard with satellite radio, 10-speaker stereo, USB port and Bluetooth. The touch screen responds quickly to inputs and the overall system is quite friendly to us. There are a number of optional features available as well. Some of the standard driver assistance features include automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and a rearview camera.

Performance

The C-Class comes with a 255-HP turbo-four engine mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. It has ample muscle for daily driving, but may experience lag when on highways. When you hit the throttle hard, the engine can be a bit loud. Fuel efficiency is not the best in class.

If you are a spirited driver, you may want to consider an option like the 2020 Volvo S90, which is quite impressive in most driving situations. Mated to an eight-speed transmission, S90 does enough to procide smooth acceleration with high fuel efficiency.

The Bottom Line

The opulent Volvo S90 is a strong contender in this competitive segment of luxury cars. You may not find a better infotainment operation or handling in other rivals.
