Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus ES 300h than the Volvo S60. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Lexus ES 300h and the Volvo S60 in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Lexus ES 300h as you will with the Volvo S60, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Lexus ES 300h is somewhat more expensive than the Volvo S60.

Dimensions
Since the Lexus ES 300h is much slimmer than the Volvo S60, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Lexus ES 300h, which is slightly longer than the Volvo S60.

Handling
The Lexus ES 300h has a larger turning radius than the Volvo S60, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Lexus ES 300h has less horsepower than the Volvo S60, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Powertrain
The Lexus ES 300h has much less torque than the Volvo S60, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Lexus ES 300h and the Volvo S60.
