2020 Volvo XC60 vs. 2019 Chevrolet Blazer

Offering a high-performance Polestar model, the 2020 Volvo XC60 also offers a slight range increase for its T8 version. This car continues to attract avid fans as well as those who want to try the brand. Thanks to its posh interior and comfortable seats.

The Chevrolet Blazer, on the other hand, has taken a major comeback with its 2019 version. This fully redesigned car took years of preparation. With that long hiatus, it now offers a more intuitive and responsive infotainment system.

Design & Style

The 2020 Volvo XC60 simply knows how to define the varying needs of car buyers these days. This is evident in its outstanding exterior design, where rough edges meet stylish components to refine it a bit. Inside it, there is plenty of legroom and headroom, which works to the comfort of taller passengers. The top-notch interior is classy to look at and feels truly soft to the touch.

In the case of the Blazer, you will also find comfortable seats that can accommodate up to five adults. There is plenty of legroom on the second-row seats. Note, though, that this car's cabin lacks the character that its rivals offer in terms of design.

Technology & Safety

Like its other brothers from Volvo, the 2020 XC60 has the nine-inch touchscreen working with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite radio, Bluetooth, 10-speaker stereo, and all other functionalities integrated with its Sensus infotainment system. There is a rearview camera that comes standard with this ride. On top of that, advanced driver aids like oncoming lane mitigation, collision mitigation with active braking, driver drowsiness monitoring, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition and run-off road mitigation come with the base trim. There is also a feature that works for pedestrians, cyclists, and large animal detection.

The Blazer is gifted with the Chevy Infotainment 3 interface, which is paired with an eight-inch touchscreen. The display has clear graphics, as well as a simple and easy-to-comprehend with the layout. As for safety features, you only get to enjoy the rear-seat reminder and the rearview camera.

Performance

The Chevrolet Blazer's four-cylinder engine allows it to maximize results of up to 193 horsepower only. As for the 2020 XC60, there are four powertrains, the most basic of which is the T5 that produces 250 horsepower. The second engine version in the T6 is a supercharged and turbocharged engine that produces 316 horsepower. There is a T8 that combines the T6 with an electric motor to produce 400 horsepower, and lastly the Polestar Engineered version for a 415-horsepower register.

The Bottom Line

The 2020 Volvo XC60 is extremely remarkable in a lot of aspects. It combines design and style aspects really well, while also covering a long list of tech and safety features. Its different engine versions are way better than the one found in the Blazer, as well.
