2019 Volvo XC90 vs. 2020 Land Rover Discovery

Offering a new set of standard safety features, the 2019 Volvo XC90 also has a seven-seating capacity. This also has a spacious and elegant cabin to boast to all car buyers in Manhattan.

As for the 2020 Land Rover Discovery, it now comes packed with the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. It is praised for its excellent road handling as well as its expansive cargo space.

Design & Style

Featuring a solidly constructed body, there is a lot of things to experience in the 2019 Volvo XC90. It knows how to define ruggedness and modernity outside with its LED headlights, and grille assembly. The ride has leather and wood trim pieces in the cabin for that elegant vibe. It can also comfortably seat up to seven people with its base configuration.

The 2020 Discovery seats five people but you can upgrade the ride to seat seven instead. There are spacious seating arrangements on its first two rooms but the third row is a bit tight. This car comes standard with leather upholstery. It has a lesser cargo space when compared to its predecessor.

Technology & Safety

There are plenty of technology and safety features in the 2019 Volvo XC90. There is the nine-inch touchscreen display that supports the functions made via its Sensus infotainment system, including smartphone integration. It also carries a Bluetooth interface and a navigation system for a better riding experience. Pilot Assist for semiautonomous driving, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and the automatic emergency braking are among its driver aids.

This Discovery is fitted with the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system with a 10-inch touchscreen. The screen fails to impress though as it responds slowly to a command entered into the system. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a 10-speaker audio system are provided. Safety features in the car include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, park assist, lane keep assist, rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic high-beam headlights, fog lights, driver drowsiness monitoring, and emergency braking, among others.

Performance
