2020 Volvo XC90 vs. 2020 Genesis G80

The 2020 Volvo XC90 is a welcome addition in the fleet of cars that Volvo offers to car buyers out there. This has removed the four-seat configuration from the lineup, and replaced it with a six-seating capacity instead.

The 2020 Genesis G80 has a comfortable cabin to meet the requirements of its users. You will be impressed by its intuitive infotainment system as well.

Design & Style

Designed to meet the expectations of athletic drivers out there, the XC90 is very refreshing to look at. With its well-defined corners, you know that the brand means to bring masculinity at its finest. Inside, you will find a posh cabin designed with an assortment of premium quality materials. You can also trade in the second-row seats and transform the seven-seating capacity to six. There is plenty of legroom and headroom too, perfect for passengers of different sizes and shapes.

Blessed with 18-inch alloy wheels, and xenon headlights with automatic high beams, the 2020 Genesis G80, on the other hand, also deserves a second look for those in the lookout for impressive cars. Interior space has been well-taught of. However, rear headroom has been compromised with the new design. Thick pillars also obstruct outward visibility.

Technology & Safety

The 2020 XC90 has the nine-inch touchscreen for its Sensus infotainment. This provides smartphone integration using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and has a navigation system, two USB port, and Bluetooth. It has the standard rearview camera and rear parking sensors. Advanced driver aids include adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, road sign recognition, and a driver drowsiness monitor.

The 2020 Genesis G80 also impresses in terms of technology. With Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integrated with its Genesis Connected Services telematics system, you will truly be impressed. However, it lags a bit behind the S90 with only an 8-inch touchscreen display and a seven-speaker audio system. Safety wise, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning and intervention are included. The blind spot monitoring system does not include rear cross-traffic alert, though.

Performance

The XC90 gives you an option to choose from the T5, T6, and T8. The T5 contains a turbocharged four-cylinder, 2.0-liter engine to generate 250 horsepower. Meanwhile, the T6 combines a supercharged and turbocharged engine to rate 316 horsepower. The last one is the T8 that combines the twin-charged engine with an electric motor to produce 400 horsepower. Meanwhile, the 2020 Genesis G80 is equipped with a 3.6-liter, V6 engine, thus allowing it to reach 311 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The 2020 Volvo XC90 is one of the best luxury SUVs out there. It can be configured depending on your needs, plus it has a refreshing exterior which revamped the previous version. It has a long list of technologies and safety features too. Engine performance is great at all engine variations.
