If you need to decide between the 2022 Volvo S60 and the 2022 Lexus IS, you will find this review useful. Both automobiles have a lot to offer drivers, and so it might be a little hard to decide. However, we are going to help you make that decision by looking at the two in three critical areas. We will then deliver a verdict on which of the two should be in your garage soon.
Design & Style
For 2022, Volvo has added some touches to the exterior and interior design of the S60. The 2022 edition comes with improved LED headlights as well as a retouched dashboard. The result is a comfortable cabin with ample legroom all around the car. This is thanks to an elongated chassis for the 2022 edition. Talking about space, this is precisely the problem with the 2022 Lexus IS. it has none, in fact, the back seat is hard to get into, let alone spend hours on the road. Luggage space is also woefully inadequate. For the interior, Volvo has given the S60 a superb premium look by using high quality materials in its interior. While the IS looks great, the same cannot be said about the hard plastics that feature in its interior.
Technology & Safety
Buyers of the S60 will enjoy a host of tech features such as wireless charging pads and much more. The infotainment system is very easy to use, intuitively designed and responsive. Safety features include blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and much more. With the Lexus IS, you get a fairly decent infotainment system, although the touchscreen can be unresponsive. Lexus must have known that because they added a host of buttons and controls to help you get around the infotainment system.
Performance
The 2022 Volvo S60 is powered by a 2-liter turbocharged engine that delivers a fairly impressive 188hp. This means that the S60 never feels under powered and is pretty nimble around corners. Volvo has done an excellent job when it comes to the suspension of the S60. All but the roughest effects of road imperfections are kept out of the Volvo S60's cabin, ensuring a top-quality ride. For the 2022 Lexus IS, you get a 2.5 liter turbocharged engine that is pretty responsive and powerful. The IS goes around corners fast and response when you floor the gas pedal is exactly what you would expect from a Lexus sports car.
The Bottom Line
While both the Volvo S60 and the Lexus IS have a lot to offer drivers, it is clear that only one of the two vehicles stands out as a splendid car. The 2022 Volvo S60 combines functionality with great ride dynamics, making it the better vehicle of the two.
