2022 Volvo XC60 vs. 2022 Cadillac XT5

The 2022 Volvo XC60 is an SUV with attractive styling in the interior and exterior with enhanced infotainment, a hybrid engine and award winning safety features. But how does it stack up against the 2022 Cadillac XT5, an SUV which has received praise for its outstanding driving dynamics, intuitive infotainment and spacious cabin?

Design & Style

The XT5 is a moderately sized crossover that has become Cadillac's top selling SUV model. Its newest features include standardized Brembo brakes which are red in color along with the Sport Trim and the option of twelve spoke, twenty inch wheels that are nickel plated. The leather seats are extremely comfortable and passengers will have lots of cargo space to carry luggage, groceries and other goods.

The Volvo XC60 seats a maximum of 5 passengers and has appeared in two generations so far. Its latest features include a rear and front bumper which have been enhanced, updated wheel options, Android infotainment, USB type C ports in front and a tailgate release which is gesture operated and available in every trim level.

Technology & Safety

Volvo has built a stellar reputation for the safety of its vehicles and the XC60 upholds this. It has received a five star rating from the NHTSA while the IIHS gave it the prestigious Top Safety Pick award. It is equipped with the entire newest driver assistance tech such as blind area monitoring, automated windshield wipers and high beams, lane management, frontal impact alerts and emergency automated brakes. Luxuries within its cabin consist of wifi, nine inch touch displays, digitized gauge cluster, climate control and premium audio from Harmon Kardon with fifteen speakers.

The Cadillac XT5 has also earned a five star rating from the NHTSA and while the IIHS gave praise for its crash test performance, its headlights were rated marginally. It has most of the driver assistance features which are seen in the Volvo, including a camera with 360 degree view, reverse automated brakes, and back pedestrian assistance. Luxuries within its cabin include wifi, keyless entry, remote start, climate control and the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

Performance

The Cadillac XT5 is equipped with a V6 engine that is 3.6 liter and capable of generating 310 horsepower with 271 pounds of torque. Those that purchase the Volvo XC60 T8 will get an engine that is capable of generating 415 horsepower with 472 pounds of torque.

The Bottom Line

Aside from the fact that the Volvo XC60 has superior horsepower and performance, the Cadillac XT5 is mired by its marginal headlights, cheap cabin materials and unrefined drivetrains, which makes Volvo the winner.
