2022 Porsche Cayenne vs. 2022 Volvo XC-90

The Cayenne is an SUV that's been around since 2002. As the name implies, it was originally developed as a vehicle for off-road driving. Today, though, this car has been refined to be more of a luxury vehicle. Meanwhile, the new Volvo XC90 SUV was introduced in 2016 and is just now hitting its stride as one of the safest vehicles on the market today-but can it compete with Porsche? Let's compare these two vehicles head-to-head to find out!

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

First up is the 2022 Porsche Cayenne. This SUV has a unique look that makes it stand out from other SUVs on the road. It's got a bit of an old-school feel to it, with rounded edges and soft lines that make it look more like a sports car than an SUV. The front end has been redesigned for improved aerodynamics, making this one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the road today.

The 2022 Volvo XC-90 takes its design cues from classic Volvo models like their 240 series and 700 series cars; however, it still manages to keep things modern by using some cutting-edge technology in its construction process (more on this later). The back end features smooth curves while maintaining an aggressive look with sharp angles in all the right places. Like the Cayenne, this vehicle also features low suspension, so you can get into tight spots easily without having to worry too much about scraping against anything else parked nearby!

• Interior Design

The 2022 Volvo XC-90 is one of the few SUVs to offer an optional third row. However, you'll have to pay for the privilege. The third row of seats won't fold down until you unplug them from their storage location behind the second row, so they're not ideal if space is tight or you need to go off-road-they'd get in the way. In addition to folding into a flat position when not in use and on top of each other when needed, they can also be removed completely should your needs change.

In contrast, both rows of seats in the 2022 Porsche Cayenne fold flat into a single unit (what's called "easy stow"), making it easy to load items that don't fit inside, such as bikes or luggage racks. On top of this feature being convenient for practical usage cases like moving house or going camping but also being nice just because it's more comfortable than having everything packed tightly together where there's no room between passengers; It also means you don't have any obstacles blocking access between seats either if someone needs something quickly while driving AND gives passengers more privacy too!

Technology & Safety

Both the 2022 Porsche Cayenne and the 2022 Volvo XC-90 have a long list of safety features. Both vehicles have a pre-crash system, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and auto braking capabilities.

The one area in which the 2022 Porsche Cayenne has the edge over the 2022 Volvo XC-90 is its adaptive cruise control feature. The adaptive cruise control feature in the 2022 Porsche Cayenne allows you to set your speed without having to adjust it constantly as you drive through traffic or on highways. 

Performance

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne uses a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine that gives an impressive 335 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Volvo XC90, on the other hand, has a 2.0L 4 cylinder engine that boasts 240 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque - which is still pretty decent for this class of vehicle. So when it comes down to it, the 2022 Porsche Cayenne can outperform the 2022 Volvo XC90 in terms of power output with its higher numbers on all counts.

The Bottom Line

After considering the pros and cons of both cars, it's clear that the 2022 Porsche Cayenne is the more practical choice. You get more bells and whistles for your money when compared to its luxury crossover counterpart from Volvo. If you need something that's efficient, spacious, and fun to drive-and especially if you want a vehicle that will keep up with today's technology-go with the Cayenne.
