Under the hoods of these Lexus and Volvo SUVs, you’ll see a lot of similarities. All-wheel drivetrains are available on each model, offering an adaptable driving experience while behind the wheel.

There’s a lot to consider when examining the RX 350 and the XC90’s engine specifications. Let’s take a look:

	Lexus RX 350	Volvo XC90
Engine	2.4L 4-cylinder	2.0L 4-cylinder
Horsepower	275 HP	247 HP
Torque	317 lb-ft	258 lb-ft

With more horsepower and torque, the maximum performance comes from the Lexus RX 350 2.4L engine. This allows you to seamlessly maneuver through traffic while packing a punch that draws attention.

Luxury shows its face with the offered technologies inside these two models, but how do these tech features break down? Let’s compare the technology features of the Lexus RX 350 and the Volvo XC90.

Both models have entertainment features such as:

• SiriusXM® Satellite Radio
• Bluetooth®
• Apple CarPlay®

There’s a suite of features you’ll find in the RX 350 that you won’t in the Volvo SUV. Although Apple CarPlay® comes standard on both models, only Lexus providesAndroid Auto™, making sure you can connect no matter which type of device you use. It's wireless in the RX 350, although you’ll need to pack a charging cord in the XC90.

In terms of safety, both the Lexus and the Volvo come with incredibly advanced features. Each model has cruise control and parking assistance as well as brand-specific versions of:

• Lane Tracing Assist - Monitors lane markings to keep your vehicle centered within its lane and provides steering assistance if necessary.
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist - Uses cameras to detect lane boundaries and alerts you if you begin to veer outside the lines. If you don’t respond, Steering Assist can take over temporarily to help avoid a collision.
• Road Sign Assist - Detects road signs using the built-in camera and displays the information on the instrument panel, so you’ll never miss a relevant sign.

The Lexus Safety System + 3.0 in the RX 350 comes standard with extra features:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Intersection Support - Uses radar and camera capabilities to detect surrounding motorcycles and other vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians to help prevent accidents.
• Intelligent High Beams - Defaults to high beams when roads are clear and switches to low beams when it detects oncoming traffic.
• Safety Connect - Complimentary for up to 10 years and connects you to assistance in the event your vehicle is involved in an accident or stolen.

Both SUVs help you drive securely; however, the 2023 Lexus RX 350 takes the extra step to help keep you safe.
