Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus RX 350 than in the Volvo XC90.
The Lexus RX 350 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC90, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.
Convenience

Drivetrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Lexus RX 350 transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Volvo XC90.
Handling

Utility
