2022 Volvo XC60 vs. 2022 Chevrolet Blazer

The new 2022 Volvo XC60 is a blessing for people who love SUVs and have high expectations of their vehicles. It's fast, handles like a dream, and comfortable for long drives. The Chevy Blazer may not be as luxurious or powerful as the Volvo XC60, but it does offer plenty of space for passengers and cargo alike.

This article will discuss the differences between these two vehicles to help you decide which one best suits your needs!

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The 2022 XC60 is a compact SUV with a strong presence. It has an athletic, muscular appearance reflects Volvo's long-standing commitment to safety and performance. The front of the car features a large hexagonal grille and slim headlights with LED daytime running lights. On either side are sleek-looking fog lights stretching across the entire car width, along with rugged bumpers and body cladding.

The 2022 Blazer boasts an aggressive exterior design that expresses its rugged nature in every angle and line on its bodywork. With its tall profile, it looks like it'd be more at home on top of a mountain than cruising down city streets; however, it remains surprisingly nimble when navigating tight turns or parking spaces due to its short wheelbase (front-to-back distance between wheels).

• Interior Design

As for interior design, the 2022 Volvo XC60 and 2022 Chevrolet Blazers both come with high-quality materials and modern tech, but the Volvo has a clear advantage. The XC60's cabin is spacious, well-designed, and feels like a premium product. Its touchscreen interface is intuitive, even if you don't speak Swedish (which isn't necessary - it's all in English). The XC60 also has plenty of storage compartments for your valuables and small items so that everything feels secure inside your vehicle.

The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer has more of an old-school vibe than its Swedish competitor. While it has some nice design touches, such as leather seats, they lack overall refinement compared to those on board the XC60. The Chevrolet also uses buttons instead of touchscreens for its infotainment system, which can complicate things when navigating through menus or accessing certain functions such as navigation or climate control options.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Volvo XC60 and the 2022 Chevrolet Blazer offer a wealth of technology, but only one comes with safety features like lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking. The Volvo also has some other advanced safety features that could come in handy if you're looking for a safe SUV.

Performance

The 2022 Volvo XC60 is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged I4 engine that delivers 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer, on the other hand, has an all-new 2.0L twin-turbo V6 engine that produces up to 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with an eight speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels through the new All-Wheel Drive system.

The Bottom Line

While the 2022 Chevrolet Blazer does have some nice features, it doesn't feel as refined or as high-quality to drive as the 2022 Volvo XC60. If you're looking for a midsize SUV with plenty of cargo space and an upscale interior, we recommend taking a closer look at the 2022 Volvo XC60.
