2022 Volvo XC90 vs. 2022 Genesis G80

It's a great time to be in the market for a new car. The list goes on, you can get an eye-catching luxury ride, a sporty SUV, or even an economical commuter vehicle. But with so many choices available, which one is right for you? That depends on what matters most to you as an individual. Do you want to save money? Would you prefer more luxury features? Will it help your career if your car has extra space for clients? All of these things-and more-are important when deciding which new vehicle will fit best into your life: The XC90 and Genesis G80 are two such vehicles that offer an excellent blend of comfort and performance, but which one is better? Let's dive deeper into each vehicle to find out!

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The 2022 Volvo XC90 has a more streamlined design than the 2022 Genesis G80. The front end of the Volvo is very smooth and has no obvious character lines, but the vehicle still has a modern look. The grille is small and has no character lines, while the headlights are large and curved on top. These two elements combine to create a very aerodynamic design that helps with fuel efficiency while giving off a feeling of speediness when you get behind the wheel.

The front end of the Genesis G80 features some prominent character lines, including a crease line between its headlights (which are smaller than those on its rival), as well as another crease line below them which starts at an angle before curving around underneath each side window where you'll find another signature feature: fog lamps (which are also visible here). The creases help add depth and interest to what would otherwise be an otherwise flat surface; however, they don't go too far into being overly dramatic like they could have been with other designs out there today where these types of features might have gotten taken advantage by designers trying too hard without thinking about whether or not something makes sense from an aesthetic standpoint.

• Interior Design

The interior of the Volvo XC90 is roomier than that of the Genesis G80. The G80's seating capacity is 5 seats, while the XC90 can hold up to 7 passengers. You'll be able to fit more friends or family members in the XC90, which makes it a better option if you need to travel with a group.

The G80's cabin feels more luxe and comfortable than that of its competitor. The materials used are softer and finer; however, this comes at a cost: it doesn't have as much storage space as other models offer.

On top of all this, some nice touches like ambient lighting and touchscreen displays for climate control should help you make your decision easier-if only by stopping you from having to choose between these two excellent SUVs!

Technology & Safety

The XC90 features a host of advanced safety features, including lane departure warning and assist, which will help you signal for a turn if your car is about to drift out of its lane. It also offers lane keep assist, emergency braking (with pedestrian detection), blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and front and rear collision warning.

The G80 offers similar technology in the form of a driver alertness monitor (that monitors your reaction time), a front collision avoidance system with automatic braking and pedestrian detection (as well as road sign recognition).

Performance

The 2020 XC90 features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission in front-wheel drive models. The 2022 G80, meanwhile, has a 3.3L V6 engine that makes 333 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque with a ten-speed automatic transmission on AWD models or an eight-speed automatic transmission on FWD models.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Volvo XC90 is a great option for those looking for a luxury SUV that's among the best in its class in many areas. It offers excellent performance, great technology, and an impressive list of safety features-all at an affordable price point.
