The 2020 Volvo XC90 is a sturdy car with stunning interiors, spacious cabin, standard safety and good fuel economy. It is one of the top-ranking midsize SUV class for a memorable drive.
The 2020 Ford Expedition is a large SUV that has received decent ratings for its composed ride, elegant interiors and cabin space. However, handling its massive size is not everyone's cup of tea.
Design & Style
The 2020 Volvo XC90 has seven seats but you can trade the second-row bench seat for captain's chairs for the six-seat layout. Either way, it offers maximum comfort with cabin space and sufficient headroom & legroom. The third row is apt for kids. In each XC90, you get standard synthetic leather upholstery which can be modified to genuine leather. Volvo offers heated, ventilated and massaging seats to make each ride a memorable experience. It has a world-class interior that is the best in the midsize SUV class.
Comparing the design and interior of XC90 with Ford's Expedition, we would say that the former is better in every sense. The expedition is a massive eight-seater car which is suitable only for big families. Despite the size, this car snugs on cabin space. The interiors are decent with the premium material finish but you'd also see some hard plastic finishes turn off the vibe.
Technology & Safety
You get a great infotainment system in XC90 with Volvo's Sensus infotainment system that allows easy access and navigation with the 9-inch touch screen and a 10-speaker stereo. If you are a music lover, you are surely going to love this system. There are some additional options available for upgrade. This midsize SUV is not just about looks and music but also about safety. It is equipped with the latest safety features to ensure a safe drive. This includes driver drowsiness monitor, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, to name but a few.
The 2020 Ford Expedition is equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch display screen, virtual buttons, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The other features include climate control and audio adjustments whereas optional features are third-row USB ports, power outlet and wireless device charging. Considering the size of the car, these features are required. Expedition comes with the Ford Co-Pilot360 safety features bundle that has the same features as XC90. One main feature that is missing is cruise control.
Performance
The Volvo XC90 offers three engine options that you won't get in the Expedition. The engine of XC90 is robust with great passing power. The other powertrains are also better than the Ford Expedition.
The Ford Expedition has a V8 engine that helps in moving this bulky car. It produces 375 horsepower with 470 pound-feet of torque.
The Bottom Line
If you want a classy but comfortable car, we recommend the 2020 Volvo XC90. It has comfort, class, elegance and power. This midsize SUV is better than Ford Expedition which is a large SUV.
