The Volvo V90 Cross Country and Lexus ES are both luxury SUVs. They're similar in a number of ways: both have 4-wheel drive, both have 8-cylinder engines, and both have spacious interiors. But they also have some notable differences. If you're considering one or the other for your next purchase, here's what we think about each vehicle's strengths and weaknesses.
Design & Style
- Exterior Design
The 2022 V90 Cross Country is a sharp-looking car, but it doesn't stand out from other luxury sedans like the 2022 Lexus ES. The V90's grille and headlights are similar to those of other Volvo cars, but its body sides differ with their sloping rear edges. The 2022 Lexus ES has a long and low front end that's familiar to the brand, but its headlights are slim and don't extend into the hood like most Lexus models.
The V90 also has some unique features that set it apart from its main competitors-including an optional roof rack system called "Roof Rail System (RRS)" that allows cargo accessories to be attached. It also comes standard with heated mirrors and windshield wiper deicer functionality in cold weather conditions; these items may not be available as options on competing vehicles.
- Interior Design
The 2022 V90 Cross Country's interior design is nothing ordinary for an SUV. It has plenty of storage space and a large center console, making storing your phone or other small items easy. The dashboard also has a digital display with easy-to-use buttons that allow you to change your radio station or adjust temperature settings.
However, the 2022 Lexus ES features more elegant rear seats that are easier to fold down than those in the 2022 V90 Cross Country. This makes loading luggage into this model's trunk easier than its competitor's. Additionally, both vehicles have climate control systems with automatic defrosting features, so they won't get too hot on warmer days while driving through hot climates like Arizona or Florida!
Technology & Safety
The 2022 V90 Cross Country and the 2022 Lexus ES are equipped with various safety features that help protect drivers in various situations. However, they differ greatly in what they offer and how they work. In terms of automatic braking, both come standard with forwarding collision warning and automatic emergency braking (AEB). The Lexus ES also has blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, which allows you to see if any cars are pulling up behind your vehicle when driving down a road. Both vehicles also have lane departure warning systems, but only the Lexus offers adaptive cruise control that can adjust speed automatically based on traffic conditions ahead of you.
Performance
The 2022 V90 Cross Country has a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission that produces 295 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Lexus ES has a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission that produces 204 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque.
The 2022 V90 Cross Country is significantly more powerful than the 2022 Lexus ES, so it should be able to accelerate faster than the ES, especially in fuel efficiency mode when you have less power from the engine.
The Bottom Line
The Volvo V90 Cross Country is a better car than the Lexus ES. The V90 Cross Country has better safety ratings, a more powerful engine, and more standard features for its price. Additionally, it's cheaper to maintain and comes with a longer warranty.
