Q. FOR 60LAKHS VOLVO S90 or LEXUS ES IS GOOD CHOICE ?
  • Both the cars are good enough and have their own forte. The Volvo S90 now comes with radar-based safety tech, which makes the car even safer to be in. The updated safety kit includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, collision warning, and blind-spot detection. The previous model scored a 5-star safety rating in the Euro NCAP. Moreover, the Volvo cars are well known for their brilliant build quality and safety features. The Volvo S90 has 1 Diesel Engine on offer. The Diesel engine is 1969 cc. It is available with Automatic transmission. Depending upon the variant and fuel type the S90 has a mileage of 18.0 kmpl. If you are looking for a particularly sporty luxury sedan and looking to spend around Rs50-60 lakh, the Volvo S90 should be on your shopping list. Expected to be priced at Rs 55 lakh, this Inscription variant of the S90 offers you a very competitive package. Yes, it misses out slightly in terms of the back seat, but when you consider the style, the features, the ride comfort, and the sense of space you get, the S90 makes it clear that it is taking luxury very seriously. On the other hand, if you had experienced the sixth-generation Lexus ES 300h, this new one will feel like a proper update. It now has style along with substance, unlike the car it replaces. The Lexus ES 300h is no longer just a car you should buy because it offers space, luxury, a hybrid powertrain at a competitive price, and a highly sought-after ownership experience. It is also stylish enough to stand apart from the German, Scandinavian and British crowd, spacious and quiet enough to be the ultimate chauffeur-driven car, and sporty enough to occasionally offer thrills. The ES 300h has finally transcended the badge on its grille. It is tremendously comfortable and offers refinement and noise insulation levels no other car in the segment can match. The Lexus ES has 1 Petrol Engine on offer. The Petrol engine is 2487 cc. It is available with Automatic transmission. Depending upon the variant and fuel type the ES has a mileage of 22.37 kmpl. In terms of safety, the Lexus sedan gets ten airbags, ABS with EBD, hill launch assist, vehicle stability control, tyre pressure monitoring system, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. The ES 300h also comes with comfort features like cruise control, a head-up display, and three-zone climate control. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test drive for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for the dealership.
