Why the 2023 Volvo XC60 Is a Better SUV Than the Lexus NX
December 15 2022,
The modern car market is full of options, and it can be difficult for consumers to decide which vehicle is right for them. To make things a bit easier, let’s look at how two popular crossover SUVs compare—the Volvo XC60 and the Lexus NX. After reading this article, you’ll see why we think that the XC60 is a better option for you and your family.
Safety First
Volvo has been leading the way in automotive safety since its inception in 1927. The Volvo XC60 offers an array of advanced driver assistance features that are designed to help keep you safe on the road. It comes with City Safety technology, which helps to detect cars and pedestrians ahead of you, as well as lane-keeping aid to help keep you in your lane and adaptive cruise control to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. The Lexus NX doesn’t come with some of these features as standard or optional equipment.
Powerful Performance
The base Volvo XC60 also offers superior performance when compared to the Lexus NX. The 2023 XC60 comes with a powerful turbocharged engine that produces 247 horsepower, while the Lexus only offers a measly 203 horsepower from its 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. While both models offer a PHEV variant, the Volvo is more powerful than the Lexus thanks to its 455 hp and 523 lb-ft of torque.
Comfortable Interior
Finally, let’s talk about comfort—and here again, the Volvo XC60 reigns supreme. With Nappa leather front seats and genuine wood trim accents throughout its cabin space, as well as a crystal gear shifter, it exudes luxury and class like no other SUV in its class can match. And with optional cooled seats and additional USB ports throughout its cabin space, everyone will stay comfortable during even long trips together as a family. The Lexus NX, on the other hand, does not offer an as polished and luxurious interior.
There are many great cars out there on today's market, but when it comes down to selecting one for yourself and your family, there's no better choice than the Volvo XC60 for safety features, power performance and comfortable interior amenities over competing models like the Lexus NX.
