NJ Volvo Dealer Compares Volvo S60 to its Competition

March 9th, 2011

For car shoppers looking for one of the most exciting, powerful sedans on the market, there is really only one option. The 2012 Volvo S60, available at the leading NJ Volvo dealer Prestige Volvo, is ahead of the competition in power and safety features. When the Volvo S60 is compared to other vehicles in its competitive class, the S60 comes out on top.

NJ Volvo dealer Prestige Volvo put the model up against the Lexus IS250. While both vehicles are considered five-passenger luxury sport sedans, differences between the two cars are evident.

When the vehicles’ engines are compared, it’s easy to see that those looking for power will choose the Volvo. The Lexus IS250 is powered by a 2.5 liter V6 engine that produces 204 horsepower, while the Volvo S60 is fueled by a powerful turbo, six-cylinder engine that churns out 300 horsepower.

The power is seen when put to the test: the IS250 goes from 0 to 60 in 8.3 seconds, which the Volvo S60 does in an impressive 6.2 seconds. NJ Volvo dealer Prestige Volvo is proud to offer this impressively fast and powerful sedan.

While the vehicles do have similar standard features and a price within a few hundred dollars of each other, there are features that Lexus drivers just won’t find on the IS250. Lexus drivers won’t find is memorized settings for various comfort elements of the car, including memorized settings for three drivers and climate control.

Important features that give Volvo the edge are safety features, says the leading NJ Volvo dealer. Volvo is always a leader in safety, and the innovations on the S60 won’t disappoint. Optional safety features available at the NJ Volvo dealer but not on Lexus IS250 models include the new Pedestrian Detection System, which combines a radar unit in the front grille and a camera at rear-view mirror level. They work together to spot pedestrians on the road ahead of the vehicle and if the driver fails to react in time, the system automatically activates full braking power. Adaptive Cruise Control can also be added to the car, which maintains a set gap to the vehicle in front and can operate at low speeds and can even operate at a standstill. Other available safety features include Front and Rear Park Assist and Blind Spot Information System.

For car shoppers looking to add packages onto the car to further customize it to their needs, the Volvo has more packages and options for drivers to choose from. The leading NJ Volvo dealer offers five packages, Premium Package, Sport Appearance Package, Technology Package, Climate Package and Multimedia Package, which the Lexus IS250 only has four available.
