2022 Volvo S90 vs. 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

The year 2022 has finally arrived, and that means it's time to take a look at some of the best cars on the market right now. 

The new 2022 Volvo S90 and the 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-class are impressive luxury sedans, but they have different attributes that make each one more appealing to different types of buyers. So, if you're trying to decide between these two cars, you might be wondering what makes the 2022 Volvo S90 the best choice for your needs. These are some of the best ways the 2022 Volvo S90 wins out over its competitors in the luxury sedan market.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The 2022 Volvo S90 has a new, more streamlined look when compared to its predecessor and features frameless side mirrors that give it a sleeker appearance. Meanwhile, since it's a typical sedan, you'll have all-wheel drive as standard equipment and an available adaptive air suspension to help give it better handling in corners. LED headlights are also nice to see; these are both energy efficient and designed to look great.

• Interior Design

Volvo S90 has a great interior design for the 2022 edition. Comfortable seats and a larger touchscreen make it easy to drive inside. The seats are excellent for a long trip, so you don't feel tired about having a long trip with your family or friends or even alone. It also comes in various colors so that you can pick any color as per your choice and mood. But if we talk about comfort, then there is nothing better than the 2022 Volvo XC70 that comes with soft cushions along with new seat materials to give you more comfort in driving your vehicle without getting easily fatigued after a couple of hours on the road trip.

Technology & Safety

If you want to feel safe, it's important that your car gives you a sense of security as well as comfort and convenience. In terms of technology, there are many similarities between these two cars; both have automatic braking systems, for example. However, with models like Elantra coming out with crash avoidance features and Volvo with predictive alerting on vehicles like S90, new safety features keep popping up all the time! So, which is safer? It depends on what new advancements each company has come up with in their future lineups!

Performance

The 2022 Volvo S90 comes with an upgraded 2-liter turbocharged engine with a horsepower of 275 and is available in all three trims of the base, T5, and T6. The engine has been tuned for enhanced performance and torque; you will feel an exciting level of power for sure when you drive your car with that engine. The powerful 14/23 city/highway mpg fuel efficiency rating makes it one of the most fuel-efficient sedans on US roads too. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz E Class comes equipped with a standard 190 horsepower V6 turbo engine and a standard 9G Tronic transmission, making it more powerful than most other sedans out there in its class today but at a price point that is closer to mid-sized luxury sedan pricing overall because of its chassis size.

The Bottom Line

If you're in search of an affordable midsize luxury sedan, then you can't go wrong with either car, but based on its modernized cabin and better performance overall, we recommend trying out Volvo S90 first before settling on a Mercedes E-Class. With only minor differences separating them, both vehicles make for great picks for midsize luxury sedans.
