2022 Subaru Outback vs. 2022 Volvo V60

The 2022 Subaru Outback boasts of a lot of things. This one has high-end cabin materials and an abundant cargo capacity. It offers a smooth and balanced ride with its powerful engines. Now standard for this ride are steering-responsive headlights, as well as a rear-seat reminder.

The 2022 Volvo V60 is praised for its lavish interior too. This also guarantees a reliable set of standard features. It has automatic LED headlights, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert in its standard list of technologies.

Design & Style

The 2022 Outback is gifted with huge cargo space that can expand to 75.7 cubic feet when rear seats are folded. Even when the seats are upright, the area is still spacious at 32.5 cubic feet. When it comes to comfort, there is plenty of room to seat five adults. It has supportive seats and gives the driver good outward visibility. There is also an abundance of high-quality materials inside.

The V60, meanwhile has a smaller cargo space when compared to the Outback. This one only reaches up to a maximum of 50.9 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded, and 23.2 cubic feet without that configuration. There is a seating accommodation for five people. Both rows of seats are spacious in this ride. Wood accents and leather upholstery are standard in its cabin design.

Technology & Safety

When it comes to technology, expect that the Outback has the most reliable features as well. This comes with two seven-inch touch screens that support all other functionalities like the Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, two USB ports, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and four speakers. Safety features include the rearview camera, seat belt warning for rear-seat occupants, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning.

Inside the V60’s cabin are the nine-inch touch screen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for its Sensus infotainment system. While the interface is decent, it takes some time mastering the entire thing. There are several menus that may confuse the user while using the setup. Other features include the 10-speaker audio, two USB ports, satellite radio, voice command, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Safety wise, it is equipped with rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, traffic sign recognition, and rain-sensing windshield wipers, among others.

Performance

Carrying a 2.5-liter base engine, the Outback is capable of generating 182 horsepower. Move to another engine trim and get a result of 260 horsepower. This turbo-four in the V60 rates at 250 horsepower only.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Volvo V60 may look good, but it does not compare to the modern touches in the 2022 Subaru Outback. Definitely, the Subaru wins this comparison.
