2020 Volvo V60 vs. 2019 Lexus NX

With a sporty look, the 2020 Volvo V60 knows how to make car buyers drool over its beauty and masculinity, all rolled into one. It may have dropped the T6 version, but it still continues to attract with its Cross Country model. Spacious seats welcome five passengers aboard this ride.

Meanwhile, the 2019 Lexus NX decided not to incorporated major changes. Nonetheless, it still is proud of its comfortable seats as well as its excellent predictability rating.

Design & Style

The V60 is praised for having the most comfortable seats that you will ever find in the market for wagons. Inside the cabin is ample legroom, allowing taller passengers to stretch and feel relaxed during the entire ride. Standard to this car in terms of design are the wood trims and leather upholstery. Oozing with elegance and sportiness, this car is truly an eye-catcher.

The Lexus NX, sadly, is not as sporty as that of the V60. It lacks cargo space even in its spacious cabin. It has been designed to look good, but not really as great as that of its Volvo counterpart. It is good that it can accommodate up to five adults comfortably inside.

Technology & Safety

With an already reliable Sensus infotainment system equipped with a nine-inch vertical touch screen display, what else can you ask in the 2020 Volvo V60 in terms of technology? This car promises dependable smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. On top of that, it is loaded with other tech features like the 10-speaker audio, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and satellite radio. There are plenty of safety features apart from the rearview camera. Now standard for this car are advanced driver aids like lane keep assist, lane departure warning, pedestrian detection, road departure mitigation, forward automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, and oncoming collision mitigation.

Using a Remote Touch controller for its infotainment system, the 2019 Lexus NX now has a more reliable infotainment system than it had in the past. However, it still misses out on including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and lane-keep assisting are present in this ride.

Performance

Giving the 2019 Lexus NX 235 horsepower in terms of output is its four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine. In the case of the 2020 Volvo V60, the base engine is found in the T5 setup. This is a turbocharged four-cylinder version, packing 250 horsepower. The second engine is Polestar Engineered. Found in the T8, which is a new addition to its lineup, this yields up to 415 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The modern and sporty appeal of the Volvo V60 makes it a wagon that attracts the attention of car buyers out there. Combining plenty of reliable technologies with its astonishingly beautiful interior, this is one car to watch out for.
