2020 Volvo XC40 vs. 2019 Cadillac XT5

The 2020 Volvo XC40 is filled with exciting features that make it one of the most sought after SUVs in the market these days. It also has a roomy interior, enough to accommodate the needs of taller passengers.

The 2019 Cadillac XT5, on the other hand, promises plenty of additional safety features for its upper trims. It also has a roomy and upscale interior to match its beautifully, rugged body.

Design & Style

With a rugged-looking exterior and handsome components to complement that, the 2020 Volvo XC40 goes easy on the eyes of anyone who gets to see it. It has been solidly constructed from the inside to the outside. Seating up to five people inside its humongous cabin space, taller passengers will truly name this as one of their top SUV choices. Cabin comfort is also defined by cloth cushion coverings and synthetic leather bolsters with its T-Tec upholstery. There is also good outward visibility for this car.

For the 2019 Cadillac XT5, you also get a car that has 18-inch wheels for the base trim. It has LED daytime running lights, and automatic headlights too. Inside it, you will notice how attractive and modern the car is. However, visibility has been compromised with the existence of thick pillars inside.

Technology & Safety

The 2020 Volvo XC40 carries with it the Sensus Connect infotainment system, whose functions are supported by its nine-inch vertical touchscreen. It also offers Wi-Fi hotspot and integrates with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The standard rearview camera is there together with plenty of advanced driver aids. The long list includes lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, traffic sign recognition, oncoming collision mitigation, and road departure mitigation.

The 2019 Cadillac XT5, on the other hand, creates a great impression too in terms of technologies. The navigation and touchscreen systems have been upgraded. Problems with voice integration may be encountered though. Only basic safety aids like rear parking sensors are available for the trim level. You need to invest more to get other advanced safety features.

Performance

The 2020 XC40 has two engine variations. One of these engines generate 187 horsepower, while the other oozes with output amounting to 248 horsepower. The XT5, meanwhile, has a V6 engine that allows it to generate 271 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

Brilliant in all aspects that have been presented above, the 2020 Volvo XC40 clearly wins over the 2019 Cadillac XT5. It has an impeccable design, plus it has been gifted with a long list of technology and safety features too. Do not forget that its engine variations are powerful enough to bring you where you want to go without any hassle at all.
