The 2014 Volvo S60 vs. The 2014 Lexus IS 250

If you're shopping for a premium sport sedan, you've got a tough decision to make! Here at Lovering Volvo of Nashua, we're partial to the 2014 Volvo S60 ? we just don't think any other car matches up in terms of good looks, high tech features, and smart, elegant design. The Lexus IS 250 may come close, but at the end of the day we'd simply rather drive the Volvo. Here's why:

Performance and Efficiency

The Volvo S60 and the Lexus IS 250 both clock in at 30 mpg highway and 21 mpg city. Pretty impressive for sport sedans. But keep in mind that the Lexus requires premium fuel, so the actual cost of use is higher than the Volvo's. The Volvo also pushes out a whole lot more power: 250 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque in the base model compared to 204 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque in the Lexus IS 250. And with Volvo, you can go with the S60 T6 or T6 R-Design for even more muscle.

Safety and Convenience Features

These two exceptional sedans both come very well equipped. But when it comes down to safety features, Volvo comes out as a clear leader. The Volvo S60 comes with City Safety, an auto braking feature that can help prevent collisions before they even happen. Other high tech systems are available, too, including blind spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, and a pedestrian detection system.

The Lexus is available with some of those features, but pedestrian detection and City Safety are both unique to the Volvo. Another cool new feature that the Volvo offers is an infrared based touchscreen: since it isn't touch based, like the one available in the Lexus, you can operate the information and communications functions even while wearing gloves.
