See How the Volvo XC90 Recharge Compares Against the Competition

The Volvo XC90 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid is the latest in innovative hybrid SUVs from the Volkswagen brand. The largest crossover from Volkswagen now comes electrified, with an exceptional performance and lots of comfort. While some average brands cannot compete the XC90 Recharge has some strong challengers in its own luxury crossover market. We invite shoppers near baton Rouge, LA to learn more about how the Volvo XC90 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid compares to the competition. You will find the new Volvo XC90 Recharge available for purchase or lease at All Star Volvo Cars of Baton Rouge. Our store is conveniently less than 17 minutes outside of Denham Springs, LA.

Volvo XC90 Recharge vs BMW X5 PHEV

Against the top luxury PHEV from the BMW brand, we see that the XC90 Recharge has a lot more to offer for less. Each trim of the new XC90 features lots of standard driver-assist safety features as well as seating for seven four USB ports, and power rear child door locks. Most of these features only come available on the BMW X5 PHEV and must be added for an extra fee. The X5 typically seats five with manual child safety locks instead of power ones.

The BMW X5 is also the less efficient of the two crossovers, traveling up to 20 mpg on gas-engine performance alone and 50 mpg-equivalent on gas and electric power. The XC90 recharge can travel 27 mpg on its gas engine alone, with 55 MPGe on gas/electric performance.

Volvo XC90 Recharge vs Lincoln Aviator PHEV

Lincoln is another well-known brand for its sophistication and style, but the Aviator SUV falls short a bit in terms of substance. The Aviator has a total cruising range of up to 460 miles on gas and electric performance, whereas the Volvo XC90 Recharge can travel up to 520 miles before you count it out. The Aviator also features manual child safety locks, rather than power locking ones, and features available Active bending LED lights, which are standard on the Volvo XC90 Recharge. Our plug-in electric hybrid SUV from Volvo gives Prairieville, LA shoppers all of these features and performance for over $5,000 less.

Volvo XC90 Recharge vs Lexus 450h

With the Lexus 450h, we see an SUV quite comparable in price, but lacking in many standard features. The Volvo XC90 features standard four-zone automatic climate control and wireless smartphone charging. While the latter feature comes available on the 450h, four-zone climate control does not. Likewise, the Volvo XC90 Recharge is the only SUV of this listing that features standard power child safety door locks, versus manual ones. The hybrid performance of this Lexus hybrid SUV ultimately does not push its fuel economy numbers past that of the Volvo CX90 Recharge.
