2022 Lexus GX vs. 2022 Volvo XC90
If you're looking for a luxury SUV, you've come to the right place. Both the Lexus GX and Volvo XC90 are great vehicles with tons of space and amenities. But which one is right for you? We've created a few scenarios to help you decide which SUV is best for your lifestyle.
Design & Style
- Exterior Design
The 2022 Lexus GX is a big SUV that's been around for a while but still looks great. It has large, wide tires, an aggressive front fascia, and two chrome-clad grille slats below the large Lexus emblem. The headlights are long and pointed like those on older SUVs, but they look LED and modern.
The 2022 Volvo XC90 isn't quite as old as the 2022 Lexus GX, but it's not exactly new either—it was first introduced in 2016. While the exterior design hasn't changed much since then, the interior has been redesigned to make room for more tech features like a virtual cockpit display and voice control.
Even though both vehicles were designed before 2021 standards came into effect and therefore don't have any autonomous driving features (yet), there are some differences between them when it comes to safety technology.
- Interior Design
The interior design of the Lexus GX seems to be meant to evoke a sense of adventure, with its large armrests and console that are designed to hold items like water bottles and phones. The Volvo XC90 also has large armrests and consoles, but its design is more modern, with smooth edges and clean lines. The dashboards are also similar in shape but differ in material—the Lexus GX features a soft-touch dashboard, while the Volvo XC90's dashboard has hard plastic inlays on top of it.
Technology & Safety
The 2022 Lexus GX and the 2022 Volvo XC90 have a lot in common when it comes to technology. Both vehicles offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot for passengers to use. The Lexus GX also has an optional heads-up display (HUD) with speedometer readout, lane departure alert with steering assist, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high beams.
The Volvo XC90 offers similar features but adds parking assist distance control (PAD), which allows you to park your vehicle by simply activating the gear selector into reverse gear.
Performance
The GX's 4.6L V8 engine pumps out 301 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque, a slight bump from the 2018 model's 290 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the XC90 boasts a 2.0L turbocharged inline 4 that puts out 302 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque (although it can be optioned with a more powerful Supercharged T8 engine).
The Bottom Line
Thanks to its performance and luxury features, the 2022 Lexus GX is the clear winner here. While it may not have as many seats as some of its competitors, it makes up for it with excellent handling, comfort, and a great infotainment system. If you're looking for an SUV that can do everything you need without breaking the bank, this is your ride.
