2022 Volvo S90 vs. 2022 Dodge Challenger

The 2022 Dodge Challenger is a moderately sized car that offers marvelous looks, power, options and speed. But is it enough to compete with the 2022 Volvo S90, a car widely considered the best in its class due to its stately appearance, standardized safety features and excellent handling?

Design & Style

The Volvo S90 is designed for luxury but has plenty of power. The revisions made in the newest edition have been moderate, as it still retains the classic style that enthusiasts love. The gray leather interior in particular looks amazing, especially when combined with the wooden trim. The LEDs in front are shaped like headlights and the cabin is airy and relaxing, with lots of passenger space and comfortable seats.

The Dodge Challenger has a style which lives up to its name. It has the appearance of a muscle car which is a throwback to the 1960s and 70s. Its haunches are broad with a lengthy hood and build that can be customized in all sorts of ways, from larger wheels to hood scoops and wider LEDs. Within the cabin the layout and controls are canted to drivers and the materials are also retro with emblems, badges and hounds tooth cloth.

Technology & Safety

The Dodge Challenger has received a five star rating from federal testing agencies, with good scores from the IIHS. Those that purchase the top trim will get frontal collision warnings along with multiple airbags, but no Challenger comes with lane control or automated emergency brakes. Perks within the cabin include Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, seven inch displays, and powered seats that can be adjusted multiple ways.

The Volvo S90 has received a Top Safety Pick award due to its superb outward vision, lane control, and blind area monitoring and emergency automated brakes. It also has Pilot Assist, which offers a degree of autonomous operation for brief periods of time. Luxuries within the cabin include a camera with surround view, panoramic sunroof, nine inch displays, ventilated seats and an audio system from Harman Kardon.

Performance

The Volvo S90 is equipped with an engine that can generate 316 horsepower with 295 pounds of torque, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just six seconds. The Dodge Challenger is equipped with a V6 engine that can generate 303 horsepower that is wedded to an automatic eight speed transmission.

The Bottom Line

Given the fact that the Dodge Challenger doesn't have automated emergency brakes or lane control in a day and age where almost every other car offers them, this alone makes the Volvo S90 the winner.
