Hyundai HX220A L vs Volvo EC220E

The Volvo EC220E is about 4% heavier than the Hyundai HX220A L (23,500 vs 22,500 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Engine output is effectively the same on both machines.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Hyundai and Volvo Construction Equipment in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
