The Lexus RX offers a range of features and interior comforts to suit everyone. But how does it compare to the Volvo XC60, and which luxury SUV is right for you? The Keyes Lexus team has pulled out the key differences between these two models to show you why Lexus wins the day.
Performance
When you take the Lexus RX on the road, you’ll immediately note its solid performance. The standard 2.4-liter inline-four turbo engine generates 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. By contrast, the Volvo XC60 features the standard B5 powertrain that delivers just 247 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Lexus offers additional powertrains on the Lexus RX, with a maximum output of 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque.
Passenger Space
Both vehicles seat five passengers, but if you’re looking for more room in the cabin, the Lexus RX is the way to go. It has up to 39.5 inches of headroom in the front and up to 38.6 inches in the rear. This beats the Volvo XC60, which has 38.9 inches of headroom in front and only 38 inches in the rear, thanks to its lower flat top.
Audio Technology
You’ll love the available Mark Levinson® system inside the Lexus RX. This audio setup features PurePlay™ Surround Sound for enhanced sound quality, along with an impressive 21-speaker setup. Inside the Volvo XC60, you can opt for 15 speakers via the Bowers & Wilkins® sound system, which is a solid choice, but with fewer surround options compared to the Lexus SUV.
