2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge vs. 2022 Lexus NX Hybrid : More Power and Technology in the XC60
February 08 2022,
The XC60 Recharge is the pinnacle of luxury and efficiency in a high-end compact SUV. With the Recharge version, it charges forward thanks to a well-honed reputation in preserving resources, but also because it can provide maximum performance by the same token.
Here, we compare the 2022 Volvo XC60 with the 2022 Lexus NX Hybrid.
Volvo has been mastering the balance between performance and efficiency for ages. And the T8 powertrain in the perfect example of this. Nestled under the hood of the XC60 Recharge, it uses a four-cylinder, 2.0 L turbocharged and supercharged engine mated to a powerful electric motor and a state-of-the-art battery.
This unit outputs 400 horsepower which is more than enough for this vehicle size. This powerful mill is mated to Volvo’s renowned 8-speed automatic transmission that channels the power to all four wheels quickly and efficiently for maximum handling around the corners and in difficult weather conditions. The 2022 XC60 Recharge can also travel for up to 50 km without using a single drop of gas.
The 2022 NX 350h is much less focussed on performance. It uses a naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre engine and electric motors to produce a very limited 239 horsepower. Also, Lexus has chosen to give this hybrid SUV a continuously variable transmission (CVT), a piece of equipment that severely impairs its driving dynamics.
More technologies and comfort inside the 2022 Volvo XC60
The Volvo XC60 uses a clever blend of refined materials and textures to give the driver and passengers a superior experience every time. The Lexus NX uses materials and textures borrowed from the Toyota catalogue, which are undeniably more budget-oriented.
This year, the XC60 gets upgraded with a more intuitive Android-based interface with a voice assistant, unlimited personalization options, and best-in-class navigation via Google Maps and more in-car apps.
The XC60 also gets upgrades to the radar, camera, and driver-assistance system sensors that keep it ahead of the Lexus NX hybrid in terms of active safety.
The 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge is the more powerful and dynamic choice in the segment and surpasses the Lexus NX on all facets. Call or come and see us today for more info. You can also shop for your Volvo online with us. Our representatives await your call and can answer all your questions.
