2022 Volvo V60 vs. 2022 Lexus ES

The Volvo V60 and the Lexus ES are two very different cars. While the Lexus is a luxury sedan, the Volvo is more of a sporty wagon that can fit many people and things. The Lexus has many years of experience making vehicles that look good, drive well, and last forever; however, it has less history with wagons or performance vehicles like the V60. This article will compare these two cars to see which would suit your needs!

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The 2022 Volvo V60 is sleek and modern, with an elegant windshield and tall grille. The car's rear has been designed to look like an SUV, with protruding taillights on each side.

The 2022 Lexus ES is also quite classy in appearance-it has a much more traditional two-door sedan shape than its Volvo counterpart but still has some sporty styling cues about it (like its large wheels and aggressive front end).

• Interior Design

If you're looking for a car with an elegant and luxurious interior, the 2022 Lexus ES is a great choice. The dashboard has been redesigned to be more modern, with a steering wheel similar to what you'd find in a sports car. The seats are comfortable and offer legroom for front and back passengers. We found that although there's ample room in the trunk, it could be larger for holding groceries or luggage for two people on vacation. However, the storage bins throughout the cabin were well-designed and easy to reach from either front or rear seats-so this probably isn't something you'll have trouble with on your daily commute either way!

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Volvo V60 offers a no-charge satellite radio in all trims and a standard auto-dimming rearview mirror. The ES only comes with an optional satellite radio package for the premium trim level, which is packaged with other amenities like heated front seats and power-adjustable lumbar support.

The 2022 Lexus ES has Apple CarPlay functionality, while you'll need to upgrade to the Platinum trim level of the V60 for this feature. This means that your smartphone can mirror its display on the touchscreen in your car's dashboard to look like it's running on your phone instead of the vehicle's display screen. You can use apps such as Spotify or Google Maps (or any app really) right from there without having to take your hands off of the wheel or eyes off the road!

Performance

In terms of engine performance, the 2022 Volvo V60 has a more powerful engine than the 2022 Lexus ES. The 2022 Volvo V60's standard engine is a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder, which develops 240 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Lexus ES' standard engine is a naturally aspirated 3.5L 6-cylinder, which produces 252 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque.

The Bottom Line

This is a tough one. The Lexus ES is a luxury sedan with incredible interior space and comfortable seats, but its performance is lackluster. The Volvo V60, on the other hand, has more power than you need and offers all the bells and whistles you could ever want. It's also sportier than most people expect from a wagon.
