Comparison Review

Comfort
The Lexus RX 500h offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Lexus RX 500h and the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Lexus RX 500h will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid.

Dimensions
Since the Lexus RX 500h is much slimmer than the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Lexus RX 500h, which is slightly longer than the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid.

Handling
The Lexus RX 500h has a larger turning radius than the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Lexus RX 500h will do just as well as the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Lexus RX 500h has a little less horsepower than the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Lexus RX 500h does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Lexus RX 500h and the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid. The Lexus RX 500h has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volvo XC60 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid.
