2022 Lexus GS vs. 2022 Audi A6 3.0 BiTDI
If you're in the market for a luxury sedan, you probably have two options: the Lexus ES and the Volvo S90. Both cars offer excellent performance, great interiors, and plenty of space. But which one is right for you? We've taken a look at their specs to make it easier to decide.
Design & Style
- Exterior Design
The 2022 Lexus ES is a sleek, low-slung sedan with a smooth shape and long and lean profile. The front end is dominated by two large headlights and the grille, which is diamond-shaped for a more modern look. The headlights are accented with chrome trim around their bottom edges, further bringing attention to them as you drive by.
The 2022 Volvo S90 has an aggressive front end with sharp angles that give it a more masculine appearance than its competitors in the luxury segment: It's not quite as sleek or elegant as some other models on the market—but then again, it doesn't have to be! The car's design also features clean lines throughout its bodywork; nothing sticks out too much from where it should be (or shouldn't be).
The small details make all the difference when trying to decide between these two cars: For instance, both use LED headlamps instead of traditional halogen bulbs—but only the Lexus ES has standard LED fog lights for improved visibility in bad weather conditions.
- Interior Design
The ES' interior design is very modern. It has a classy, clean look with simple lines and a minimal amount of buttons on the dash. The S90's design is also modern, but it has more touches of luxury that add to its elegance. For example, you can get an in-car massage function through its optional massage seats. The ES doesn't have that feature at all.
Both cars offer great legroom and headroom for passengers in back seats—but if you're shorter than 5'5", the rear seats may feel too far away from each other for comfort (as they are in both vehicles). The Lexus offers more cargo space than the Volvo—36 cubic feet vs. 31 cubic feet—but only because its trunk lid opens up higher than in the S90; otherwise, they're virtually identical in this regard: both provide plenty of room for luggage or groceries but not much else beyond that (there's no pass-through into either vehicle).
Technology & Safety
The 2022 Lexus ES has an impressive suite of safety technologies, including a Backup Collision-Avoidance System, which helps you avoid hitting other cars when you're backing up. It also has a Pre-Collision Braking system, which can help stop your car from hitting something in front of it if the driver doesn't respond to warning lights or beeps in time.
The 2022 Volvo S90 has similar features to those of the Lexus ES, including a backup camera and parking sensors. However, it also has several unique features, including pedestrian detection and automatic braking at intersections if someone unexpectedly crosses your path.
Performance
The Lexus ES has a 2.5L V4 engine that generates 176 hp and 163 lb-ft of torque, while the Volvo S90's 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 250 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. The Lexus gets an EPA fuel economy estimate of 23 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined. Meanwhile, Volvo's comparable figures are 20/28/23 mpg city/highway/combined.
The Bottom Line
In conclusion, the Lexus ES is a great option for those looking for a luxury vehicle with an affordable price tag. It offers plenty of luxury features and performance at a fraction of what you'd pay for similar vehicles from other manufacturers.
