2021 Volvo V90 vs. 2021 Chevrolet Blazer

The 2021 Volvo V90 is sure to tick most of the boxes for drivers looking for a luxurious yet fuel-efficient SUV. The 2021 V90 has a spacious cabin and a generous luggage area. All these combine to make this SUV very versatile. Yet the engine delivers a superb ride that goes beyond what you would expect of a car in this category.

The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer is a crossover that is beautifully styled and delivers a fairly adequate ride quality. Drivers may struggle with a could of issues such as gas consumption and handling but since Chevrolet was not going for sporty performance, it should be okay for most drivers.

Let us compare these two vehicles and see which one emerges at the top.

Design & Style

When it comes to the  2021 V90, the interior styling is superb. The cabin is full of premium materials and the instrument panel is ergonomically designed. The exterior is also highly stylish and follows the Volvo design cues. With large sporty wheels and a road-hugging stance, this is a vehicle that will turn heads wherever you go.

The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer is equally good-looking. For 2021, Chevrolet has gone with a slightly retouched bumper and improved headlights. The interior remains largely the same, however. It is comfortable, although not luxurious in any sense of the word. Hard plastics and sub-par fabrics are all over the interior.

Technology & Safety

The 2021 V90 comes with a host of luxury features that all drivers are sure to love. It features a vertically-oriented 9-inch screen that delivers crystal-clear graphics and is very intuitive. Other features on the 2021 V90 include Android and Apple smartphone integration, Lane assist, and much more.

The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer also comes with a decent array of tech as well. Infotainment is controlled via a touchscreen display and the car also has smartphone integration as standard. The audio system in the car is not what one would expect but Chevrolet offers a Bose Audio system as an option.

Performance

Under the hood, the Volvo V90 comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that provides ample power to the 2021 V90. Whether cruising on the highway or accelerating from a traffic light stop, the V90 will not disappoint. Handling is superb and the car features an excellent suspension system. When it comes to the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer, you get a similar four-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers 194hp. Though fairly powerful, it does not compare with the 250hp that the V90 turns out. The result is a shaky ride that sometimes feels inadequate. It does not help matters that the 2021 Blazer struggles around corners as well.

The Bottom Line

While these cars have a lot to offer, there is no question that the 2021 Volvo V90 is a superior car in every sense of the word. It offers real luxury and delivers a superb ride. This makes the 2021 V90 the clear winner in this comparison.
