Three Reasons to Buy a Volvo XC60 Instead of a Lexus NX
September 27 2021,
The Volvo XC60 has always been on top in terms of style and performance. It constitutes a unique offer in the segment with a Scandinavian flair, while showcasing the best in terms of safety and infotainment technologies. The XC60 has the perfect size to comfortably sit five passengers with plenty of cargo.
Here, we explore three great reasons why you should buy a 2021 Volvo XC60 instead of a 2022 Lexus NX.
The 2021 XC60 wins the performance race
Performance is important in a luxury SUV, that’s why the XC60 offers a series of engines that caters to every need. The T5 powertrain is a 2.0 L turbo four-cylinder that delivers 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the T6 powertrain gives the XC60 an impressive 316 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
The XC60 also has a hybrid powertrain that perfectly pairs power and efficiency. This T8 powertrain boasts 400 horsepower, but thanks to several tweaks brought by the Polestar Engineered variant, it can deliver as much as 415 horsepower.
The 2022 Lexus NX has a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre engine that delivers 203 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, which is less than the T5’s output. The next available engine is in the NX 350 2.4 Turbo, which delivers 275 horsepower. This might be a little bit over the XC60’s base engine, but it is less than the T6 powertrain.
Hybrid engines on the NX offer 239 hp and 302 hp with the plug-in hybrid. The T6 engine and the T8 powertrains found in the XC60 provide much more power.
The 2021 XC60 offers you more cargo space
Space is important to all families, big or small. The Volvo XC60 offers plenty of it. When the second row is full of passengers, you can use close to 600 litres of cargo space. The Lexus NX only offers a little more than 500 litres, and even less in its hybrid variants.
The 2021 XC60 is all about unique style
All Volvo vehicles provide unique style thanks to Scandinavian design, which uses superior textures and materials that can only be found in a Volvo. The XC60’s infotainment system is also more intuitive and more advanced than the system in the NX.
