2020 Volvo V60 vs. 2020 Lexus ES

Are you looking to choose between the 2020 Lexus ES and the 2020 Volvo V60? We know it can be a difficult choice among such tough competitors, but this comparison will highlight why most car shoppers choose Volvo over Lexus.

Design & Style

The Lexus 350 comes standard with well-cushioned seats; however, reviewers are divided on whether it has enough space to accommodate 5 adults. Power-adjustable front seats and Perforated NuLux are standard. The cabin looks to be well constructed, but it does need an upgrade like ambient lighting or aluminum trim pieces.

The 2020 Volvo V60 defines elegant cabin space with some of the highest quality of materials used. You can feel the lavishness the moment you step inside. There's enough room for 5 full-sized adults to take an extended trip with comfort. You also have a spacious trunk area to load your bags.

Technology & Safety

The tech features for Lexus ES gets an upgrade with the introduction of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, however the Enform interface remains one of the worst in the market. There's a lack of touch screen functionality, along with complicated menus which make it even more frustrating to use. Other key features include 8-inch display, Siri-Eyes Free, Wi-Fi hot spot and navigation system. For safety, you have the Lexus Safety System 2.0 that includes lane departure warning, road sign assist, automatic high-beam headlights, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision system and low-light pedestrian detection.

On the other hand, the 2020 Volvo V60 has an extensive range of tech features including Apple CarPlay, satellite radio, USB ports, climate control and 9-inch system. You can use the system without any hassle, especially when you are driving. There are plenty of driver assistance features including road departure mitigation, traffic sign recognition, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection and lane keep assist.

Performance

Performance is the backbone of any vehicle. Speaking of which, the 2020 ES comes equipped with a 302-HP V6 engine that feels refined in most situations. However, it is not a very quick car, as it takes around 7 seconds to go from 0 to 60.

If you are looking for a powerful combination of fuel efficiency and smooth acceleration, look no further than the 2020 Volvo V60. Not only does it offer athletic handling, but is also ideally suited for tough driving conditions.

The Bottom Line

Thanks to a high level of refinement and plenty of standard features, the 2020 Volvo V60 finds itself in  the top half of luxury midsize rankings. The relaxed performance combined with high tech features is a great recipe for an amazing automobile.
