2021 Volvo S90 vs. 2021 Jaguar XF

The 2021 Jaguar XF is a car which is just as sleek, fast and powerful as the cat it is named after. Its potent V6 engine, sophisticated British design and cabin comforts are too much for most its competitors. But can it compete with the 2021 Volvo S90, a luxury car which many regard as the best in its class due to its fabulous interior, standardized safety features and excellent performance?

Design & Style

The Volvo S90 has a refined yet conservative exterior with a cabin that is large and spacious. It can carry up to five passengers comfortably and the nappa leather seats in front can be heated during winter and cooled during summer to maximize comfort. The back seats are just as good, offering lots of head and leg room (forty inches to be exact), and the cargo area is approximately 15.4 cubic feet (25.5 cubic feet in wagon variants). The Jaguar displays a number of classic design cues, such as the vertical grille in front, feline badge, mesh inserts and large wheels. The cabin is crisp and clean, with polished aluminum, authentic wood trim and the option of brown, red, black or grey color.

Technology & Safety

The Jaguar XF offers a large array of safety countermeasures, including lane departure alerts, back cross traffic notifications, blind area monitoring and emergency automated brakes. Drivers also get the option of a monitor with surround view and heads up displays. Luxuries within the cabin include a moonroof, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, USB port, two zone climate control and Bluetooth. The Volvo S90 has done well on every crash test thrown at it. This is one of the many reasons why it won the Top Safety Pick award. Outward vision is excellent, and it also lane and cruise control, automatic emergency brakes and Driver's Assist which ensures the car is always where it should be. Cabin perks include a sunroof which is panoramic, nine inch screens, wireless charging for smartphones and navigational systems.

Performance

The engineers at Volvo reduced the weight of the S90 without sacrificing performance, which means it drives softly while offering precise steering with high maneuverability. It is equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 250 horsepower. With a name like Jaguar, you know the XF is fast. It is also equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine which enables it to generate 247 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

It's a close call. Both cars are sexy, luxurious and extremely powerful. However, many of the Jaguar XF safety features are optional rather than standard, and its infotainment is a dated, so the Volvo S90 wins.
