The Honda Civic and the Volvo S60 are very popular and well-known vehicles. When you compare the two, you'll see that they share some similarities but also have many differences. They offer great performance and safety features, but each has a unique style and personality. From their exterior styling to their interior designs, we're going to break down how these two stack up against each other so you can decide which car would be best for you!

Design & Style

  • Exterior Design

The 2022 Volvo S60 is a compact sedan with a sporty design. It's available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations and features LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, a power moonroof, keyless entry and ignition, automatic climate control, and the Sensus Connect infotainment system with Apple CarPlay compatibility. The Civic Sedan comes standard with automatic climate control but lacks keyless entry/ignition or an infotainment system.

The Civic Sedan's exterior styling is clean and simple, while the S60 has more design flare on its front end, with its flashy grille opening up into the headlight assembly. The S60 also features a bolder rear end that incorporates large exhaust pipes - designed to give it a sporty look - and tail lamps that sweep back along the sides of the vehicle instead of being straight across like those found on the Honda Civic.

  • Interior Design

The interior of the 2022 Volvo S60 is a major step up from the 2022 Honda Civic. While you might argue that the new Civic has more features than its predecessor, it's obvious to anyone who has ever stepped inside either car that there's no comparison here. The interior of the 2022 Volvo S60 comes with built-in screens for climate control, GPS navigation, and other functions you'd expect from a high-end vehicle. The 2022 Honda Civic, on the other hand, only has screen-based controls in some models-and even then, they're not as user-friendly as they should be (we've seen one reviewer who said he had trouble changing radio stations).

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Volvo S60 offers a lot of technology and safety features that are not available in the 2022 Honda Civic. The S60 comes standard with an airbag for the driver, as well as one for the front passenger. It also has a seatbelt pretensioner system, which helps reduce the impact of a crash if it occurs. Its backup camera is also standard, so you won't have to pay extra for this feature. But if you want more options like blind spot monitoring or lane-keeping assist, they'll cost extra. The Honda Civic doesn't have any of these features as standard equipment but does offer them as options during your purchase process.

Performance

The 2022 Volvo S60 is available with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produces 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The Civic's 1.5-liter turbo four also produces 252 hp and 273 lb-ft, but it does so without the aid of forced induction.

The 2021 Honda Civic is offered with one engine choice: a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline four rated at 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that the 2022 Honda Civic and 2022 Volvo S60 are both very good cars, but there are some differences between them. The Civic is a little more fun to drive and has better fuel economy, while the S60 offers more luxurious accommodations with its larger interior. It all comes down to what you're looking for in a car and how much you want to spend on it!
