At Faulkner Volvo Cars Trevose, we know that you have plenty of options when it comes to shopping for and purchasing a luxury SUV in the Trevose, PA area. It seems as if every carmaker around has a model in their collection that they tout as the best for families and single professionals. But the high-end, well-crafted Volvo collection at our East Street Road dealership speaks for itself.
Volvo produces not one, not two, but three impressive, luxurious SUVs, with something in every size and shape to appeal to our customers' personalities and lifestyles. In the middle of the pack, larger than a subcompact but smaller than mid-sized, is the 2023 Volvo XC60. A compact model for five people with two rows of seating, this model is highly customizable and ready to impress.
But the Volvo XC60 has competition from other luxury brands that may be vying for your attention. To illustrate what makes our model the better choice and to help you make the best selection for your needs, here's a quick look at how it compares side by side with the Lexus RX.
2023 Volvo XC60 vs. 2023 Lexus RX
- Standard safety features. Whether you're driving alone or you have a vehicle full of passengers, safety is always a priority. While both of these SUVs have a robust list of advanced driver's aids that come standard, the Volvo XC60 has more. For example, both models have forward emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring. But only the Volvo XC60 has traffic sign recognition, reverse auto emergency braking, and a drowsy driver monitor as well.
- Plug-in hybrid functionality. While the Lexus RX has traditional hybrid options available in its lineup, the Volvo XC60 ups the ante in terms of both efficiency and power, with a plug-in hybrid option. The top-of-the-line Volvo XC60 Recharge is a 455-horsepower plug-in hybrid SUV with 523 pound-feet of torque and a 36-miles electric-only driving range. Not only is it impressive, it's also more powerful and capable than the Lexus RX 350h hybrid model, which produces just 246 horsepower and 233 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, since it's not a plug-in model, it doesn't have an EV driving range.
- Interior volume and cargo space. Both of these SUVs have spacious and useful amounts of cargo space in the rear, behind the backseat. But when you need more space and flexibility for larger objects, the Volvo XC60 can accommodate more than the Lexus RX. Folding the seats of the XC60 can help you get up to 63.3 cubic feet of available space. Comparatively, folding the backseats of the Lexus model can help you get only up to 46 cubic feet in total available space.
- Passenger space and comfort. Sitting in the front seat or the rear, you and your passengers will be more comfortable and have more room to stretch your legs in the Volvo XC60 than in the Lexus RX. Both rows of our SUV have more legroom than the seats in the Lexus model.
- Technology and amenities. As a high-end Volvo model, it's no surprise that the latest Volvo XC60 models come with the amenities that our customers want. The list is long and comprehensive, and it includes a few features standard that you don't get standard on the Lexus RX, such as a panoramic sunroof and a wireless device charging pad. These features are only available on upper models or as optional add-ons for the Lexus SUV.
