The 2023 Volvo S60 or the 2022 Honda Insight? Which car should you get? And which one would you recommend to other drivers? In this article, we will compare the specs of these two cars and see how they differ in terms of performance, technology, and other features. Then we'll discuss which car wins the battle between the 2023 Volvo S60 vs. 2022 Honda Insight and tell you what makes it so unique in our honest review!
Design & Style
- Exterior Design
2023 Volvo S60 has a better exterior design than the 2022 Honda Insight. That being said, there is one thing that both cars have in common, and that is their sleek bodies which make them look as if they're moving even when they are not! The car is longer than any other car of its type and offers more space for passengers to sit comfortably inside while they travel through traffic jams or on those long trips where comfortability is everything you care about. The front has been redone to give it a sleeker appearance, and new LED headlights were fitted to ensure maximum visibility even at night (or early morning) when your eyes are less adjusted to seeing in low light conditions.
- Interior Design
The interiors of both these cars look super sleek and clean, giving you a relaxing vibe that lasts while driving around town or on long road trips. It will be interesting to see how well they hold up to time, though, as some previous models have shown too many improvements lead to customer dissatisfaction when older customers aren't satisfied with new updates. With proper updates, both cars should do fine for most drivers; 2023 Volvo seems better equipped for easy repairs in long-term testing so far, though.
Technology & Safety
While it is more expensive, Volvo's patented assisted technology (featured in several commercials) makes driving safer and more accessible. This technology includes an advanced blind-spot monitor, automated braking system, and lane assist. The 2022 Honda Insight also has excellent safety features such as adaptive cruise control, side/curtain airbags, rearview camera and sensors, tire pressure monitoring system, and hill start assist. Instead of an integrated touchscreen system (found in other models), Volvo opted for a more streamlined solution by including inductive charging pads on both front seats so you can rest your smartphone atop them while they recharge wirelessly.
Performance
The 2023 Volvo S60 is lighter, which means better performance than previous versions. Its engine specs are as follows: 2-liter 4-cylinder with variable valve timing and turbocharged (VVT/TVT) generates 313 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque (standard). A high-performance version that produces 395 hp is available at an extra cost - is powered by a 3-liter V6 (combined fuel economy 19/25 mpg). This engine model is also available in a hybrid powertrain configuration with 2 electrical motors that generate 80 kW (109 hp) and 185 lb.-ft of torque.
The Bottom Line
Both 2023 Volvo S60 and 2022 Honda Insight will have an easy time reaching 60 MPH in about 5 seconds, which means even these more mid-level cars are still fast enough to pull off some impressively quick 0-60 times. But both of these vehicles do more than just get you from point A to point B-they provide a high level of performance at speeds well beyond what most drivers will ever see on city streets.
