Planning on purchasing a new luxury mid-size SUV? Well, we at Porsche of Delaware in Newark, Delaware, recommend the 2022 Porsche Cayenne. And if you are looking for more information about the 2022 Cayenne and its advantages over its competitors, here is a comparison article between the 2022 Cayenne and the 2022 Volvo XC90 to give you a better idea.
Starting off with performance, the Cayenne is ahead of the XC90 by leaps and bounds. The Cayenne’s base engine is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that produces 335 horsepower and 332 pounds of torque. The XC90 is nowhere close to Cayenne’s performance. Its base engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Other than the base engine, the Cayenne can be spec’d with four other engines, the most powerful one of them being a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 that pumps out 631 horsepower and 626 pound-feet of torque. The Volvo XC90’s most powerful engine’s power output is nowhere close to the Cayenne.

Coming to the interior, both the SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) offer an amazing cabin. High-quality materials are used all around adding to the premium look and feel of the interiors. The XC90 benefits from third-row seating, something that the Cayenne misses. However, the Cayenne makes up for it with reclinable second-row seats. Second-row passengers, hence, can relax throughout the journey. The Cayenne gets leather upholstery as standard while the XC90 offers synthetic leather upholstery. Sure, the higher trims are dressed in genuine leather. But the absence of them on the base trim sure does hinder the overall reach.
The Cayenne comes with a precision-engineered infotainment system fitted with a wide range of infotainment features. The base Cayenne gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen display along with Android Auto™, wireless Apple CarPlay, HD Radio, and a 10-speaker sound system, to name some of them. The touchscreen’s feedback is flawless, and the overall usability is simple. Sure, the XC90 also offers a similar set of features. But the smaller nine-inch screen slightly takes away the user experience.
