2021 Volvo V90 vs. 2021 Honda CR-V

The 2021 Volvo V90, just like its predecessor, is well-received by car buyers out there. While the ride does not have as much change when compared to the previous version, it still easily impresses in a lot of aspects. Topping that list is its opulent and modern interior.

As for that of the 2021 Honda CR-V, there is not really much to expect especially because it decided to maintain the same look as that of its 2020 counterpart. The cabin, however, is filled with great quality materials.

Design & Style

The 2021 Volvo V90 has more than enough cargo area for its five passengers' suitcases who want to go out on a weekend and spend time together. When the rear seats are not in use, the area increases capacity from 19.8 to about 54 cubic feet. This wagon has a comfortable seating configuration not just in front, but also at the back. Adding to its elegant cabin is the use of Nappa leather seats, wood and aluminum accents, as well as soft touch surfaces all throughout.

One of the marketing points of the 2021 Honda CR-V is its humongous cargo area that can accommodate 75 cubic feet of belongings when the rear seats are not in use and are folded. While it promises to be roomy in front, the back tells an entirely different story. It lacks legroom in that area. There are plenty of great quality materials inside, but it still lags behind the V90 in terms of elegance.

Technology & Safety

The 2021 V90 uses a nine-inch touch screen with buttons found on the center of the dashboard for audio, navigation, and window defroster functions. There is another control knob for the audio volume too. For other features, you will praise it for including 14 speakers, voice recognition, satellite radio, wireless device charging, Bluetooth, and voice recognition. It also has been equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Pilot Assist active driving system, adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, oncoming collision mitigation, and a long list of other driver aids await those who will buy this ride.

Meanwhile, the 2021 Honda CR-V is kind of boring in this aspect. It only has a five-inch screen, without touch capabilities. It does not respond very well to inputs as well. When it comes to safety, it falls short of features because it only offers a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, road departure mitigation, and forward collision warning.

Performance

The V90 gets power from its turbocharged four-cylinder engine that manages to reach up to 250 horsepower in terms of results. Aside from that base engine, there is another version that easily releases 316 horsepower. These numbers are quite threatening for that of the CR-V, since its turbo-four results in 190 horsepower only.

The Bottom Line

The 2021 Volvo V90 certainly knows how to create an impression in all aspects. The 2021 Honda CR-V bows down to it.
