2021 Volvo S90 vs. 2021 Chevrolet Malibu

The 2021 Volvo S90 is like its predecessors when it comes to charm and masculinity. Add to that, this ride offers a comfortable seating arrangement for its passengers. Another thing to expect is the standard 316 horsepower base engine.

In the case of the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu, you will find one ride that offers a great adventure to users. Thanks to its smooth and balance handling, and it does that. Expect smartphone configuration as a new addition to the vehicle.

Design & Style

The 2021 version of the Volvo S90 carries a base 13.5-cubic feet configuration at the back. Inside it, you will find comfortable seats, with lots of legroom and headroom to offer. Even the rear seats are impressive with a size of 40 inches in the legroom department. It is as if comfort is not enough, there are well-bolstered seats to support you during the trip. For its overall cabin design, you will notice opulent materials like wood and aluminum trims accentuating the cabin.

For that of the Chevrolet Malibu's 2021 edition, there are seats configured to accommodate five. While that of the S90 is roomy, this one only provides comfort if you seat three kids in the rear area. In terms of overall cabin design, you will be disgusted with its use of hard plastics all over.

Technology & Safety

The S90 carries that of the Sensus infotainment system with a nine-inch touch screen. Just like the one found in the S60, this one is quick to respond to user commands, and displays vivid graphics as well. Other features to love are the 10 speakers, wireless device charging, Bluetooth, navigation, satellite radio, and smartphone integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. When it comes to your safety, there is a long list to enjoy as part of the standard driver aids. This one includes adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and Pilot Assist active driving system, among others.

The Malibu is one with a straightforward infotainment system. Thanks to the eight-inch touch screen that responds quickly to user inputs and you will tend to love it. It is disappointing that the display does not really reflect much of a crisp presentation, though. While it has other features like six speakers, a USB port, and Bluetooth, you will find it quite lagging behind the S90 in terms of safety since it only offers a rearview camera as a standard driver aid.

Performance

The 2021 Volvo S90 carries a base engine that combines super and turbo charging capacities. This one allows it to result in 316 horsepower. There is another engine that generates 400 horsepower. That of the Malibu can only produce up to 160 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

The 2021 Volvo S90 is gifted with a charming cabin, handsome exterior, long list of reliable driver aids, and a great performing engine. All these aspects defeat what the 2021 Chevrolet Malibu offers.
