Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Explorer offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Volvo EX90. The Volvo EX90 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Ford Explorer, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Ford Explorer is a better financial choice over the Volvo EX90, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Explorer is much wider than the Volvo EX90, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Ford Explorer takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volvo EX90.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Ford Explorer will do just as well as the Volvo EX90, since they have about the same towing capacity. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Explorer has a lot less horsepower than the Volvo EX90.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford Explorer does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volvo EX90.

Utility
The Ford Explorer offers greater seating capacity than the Volvo EX90, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
