2022 V90 Cross Country vs. 2022 Subaru Outback

The 2022 Volvo V90 Cross Country and 2022 Subaru Outback are two of the most popular midsize SUVs on the market. While they have significantly different personalities, both offer an excellent blend of luxury and practicality. But which one is right for you? Here's a look at how these two models compare in terms of design, technology, safety features, and performance specs to help you decide which one is best for your lifestyle needs:

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The 2022 V90 Cross Country exterior is sleek and modern, with some character lines along its body. This Volvo model has an elegant chrome grille that adds a touch of elegance to its overall appearance. You will notice that the headlights on this model have a unique shape, with LED daytime running lights in their bottom corners. The rear end has LED tail lights, giving it an appealing look from all angles.

When you compare it to the 2022 Subaru Outback, you'll find that both models have similar front ends but differ in design at their rear ends. For example, while both vehicles feature a panoramic moonroof as standard equipment (which allows passengers inside to enjoy more light), only the latter offers heated mirrors and side door glass as optional features-a major difference between these two rides!

• Interior Design

The 2022 V90 Cross Country has a more roomy cabin and lots of comfort features that are both standard and optional. It offers a heated steering wheel and rear seat heaters, as well as an 11-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos technology. You can also opt for heated front seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration (without having to go all the way to the Platinum trim), or even a 19-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system that's better suited for those who love their high fidelity music experience.

If you're looking for something even more luxurious, there's also an available Nappa leather interior upgrade with contrast stitching on every surface-from your armrests to your center console cup holders-as well as wood trim throughout your cabin so it feels like you're in a Scandinavian hotel suite rather than an SUV crossover.

The RAV4 Adventure offers some nice perks too: Its panoramic sunroof offers great views of your surroundings when parked at campgrounds; it comes standard with fog lights; it has automatic LED headlights; it offers power-adjustable driver's seatbelt height adjusters so if one person is taller than another, they can still sit comfortably inside this vehicle without straining their necks trying not.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 V90 Cross Country has a full suite of safety features, including lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking. There's a blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.

The Outback includes many features:

• Lane departure warning and automatic emergency braking
• Blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert
• Adaptive cruise control
• Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking

However, it does not include lane change assist or driver fatigue detection systems.

Performance

The 2022 Volvo V90 Cross Country comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 295 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This engine has an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four or front wheels as needed. The 2022 Subaru Outback also has a four-cylinder engine, but it's naturally aspirated instead of turbocharged: it makes 175 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque via a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

The V90 Cross Country is faster than its opponent in zero to 60 mph acceleration tests. However, this may be due more to the Subaru's low gearing than any superior performance characteristics on its part: the Volvo takes 6.1 seconds while the Outback gets there in 6.3 seconds.

The Bottom Line

So there you have it: if you're looking for an affordable luxury SUV that can handle any kind of terrain, the 2022 Volvo V90 Cross Country is your best bet.
