2020 Volvo V60 vs. 2020 Volkswagen Golf

The 2020 Volvo V60 may no longer have the T6 but with its Cross Country configuration, car buyers are still interested in this ride, as usual. It is roomy and cozy inside, enough to accommodate five adults comfortably.

For the 2020 Volkswagen Golf, the large cargo hold makes it outstanding. It also has that handsome styling in the cabin that is hard to resist.

Design & Style

Made with the best design elements, the Volvo V60 is truly one of the most notable wagons to date. Inside it, you will find a hassle-free room for adults. Thanks to the spacious cabin with a reliable amount legroom to stretch out while travelling on a long and rugged road. It looks even more stunning with the combination of wood trims for its leather upholstery. This is what an elegant, modern, and sporty car looks like

The 2020 Golf, on the other hand, seems to have taken things a notch lower for this aspect. It may have a minimalist approach which can easily impress a lot of car buyers looking for simplicity, but that laidback approach does not work at all times. The cabin is handsome, plus it does offer plenty of cargo space. It lacks headroom though, thus limiting possibilities for taller passengers seating on the backseat.

Technology & Safety

The 2020 Volvo V60 has a reliable smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This is because of its nine-inch touchscreen and Sensus infotainment system. This has a 10-speaker audio, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a satellite radio. It is praised for its long list of advanced driver aids which now come as a standard (apart from the rearview camera). Lane keep assist, lane departure warning, pedestrian detection, road departure mitigation, forward automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, and oncoming collision mitigation are among them.

The 2020 VW Golf has the MIB II infotainment system which is supported by a smaller 6.5-inch touchscreen display. It has a USB port, Bluetooth, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A rearview camera, pedestrian detection, and automatic emergency braking are standard.

Performance

The 2020 VW Golf has a base engine, that is, a turbocharged four-cylinder, 2.4-liter allowing it operate at a maximum yield of 147 horsepower. Its four-cylinder, 2.0-liter version yields 288 horsepower. An electric motor lithium-batter pair up gives it a maximum result of 134 horsepower.

These numbers do not compare to the two engine versions in the 2020 Volvo V60. The T5 setup carries a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, to pack 250 horsepower. It also has the Polestar Engineered engine in the T8, a new addition to its lineup, generating up to 415 horsepower.
