2022 Volvo V90 vs. 2022 Chevrolet Blazer

The 2022 Volvo V90 is a premium sedan that boasts an elegant design, impressive safety features, and cutting-edge technology. The car comes loaded with top-of-the-line features and innovative technology-and it's also fun to drive. It's easy to see why the 2022 Volvo V90 comes out on top compared to other luxury vehicles like the 2022 Chevrolet Blazer.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The V90 was designed with a sleek, clean aesthetic. The Volvo logo dominates the front end, which is surrounded by LED headlights flanked by LED daytime running lights. A floating roofline flows into the rear window, and a chrome strip runs below it.

The Blazer's design is much more in line with other Chevy vehicles. The front end has two upright grilles flanking vertical headlights and fog lights at each corner of the bumper. The hood also features an aggressive bulge that has been incorporated into many other recent Chevrolet models.

• Interior Design

Next, look at what you'll see when you open the door. The 2022 Volvo V90 has a modern design, including a leather steering wheel and an 8-inch touchscreen display. There are also plenty of USB ports and power outlets to keep your devices charged while on the road. The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer has an equally advanced interior design featuring large displays in both front seating positions and audio controls on the steering wheel. You can easily adjust volume or change stations without reaching your phone or tablet.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Volvo V90 has a lot of excellent safety features. The company says it's got the "world's first" system that can detect pedestrians and cyclists, then issue warnings or brake if necessary. It also has pedestrian airbag technology, which deploys a protective cushion from the hood to protect people from being struck by vehicles in front of their car at speeds up to 25 miles per hour (40 km/h).

The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer doesn't have those features yet but will soon. And it already comes standard with forwarding collision warning and automatic braking, lane keeping assist and lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Performance

The 2022 Volvo V90 comes with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 295 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer comes with a 3.6L V6 engine that offers up 305 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque.

The 2022 Volvo V90's fuel economy is good but not great. Its EPA-estimated combined mpg of 20 is a bit below average for the class and less than its predecessor.

The 2022 Chevy Blazer has a slightly better EPA-estimated combined mpg of 21 mpg, which is above average compared to other vehicles in this class.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Volvo V90 should be your first choice for a luxury crossover. It has a beautiful design, excellent safety features, and it's fun driving. The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer has some strong points too, but the lack of an available turbo engine and its higher price tag make it more difficult to recommend over the Volvo.
