Audi Q7 vs. Volvo XC90
What may seem like a huge price advantage for the Volvo XC90 is partially offset by the Audi Q7's standard all-wheel drive. Still, a comparably equipped new XC90 costs thousands less than the Q7. The XC90 features conservative Scandinavian design, both inside and out, whereas the Q7's exterior styling is sharper, and the interior emphasizes technology. While both SUVs have comfortable seating for seven across three rows, Volvo's seats are legendary for their comfort and support. The Q7's touchscreen infotainment system is a bit more user-friendly and responsive. Both SUVs come with a standard hands-free power liftgate, but the XC90 offers significantly more cargo space. Audi has a significant performance advantage with the SQ7 and its 500-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V8. The Q7 can tow more, as well. The Q7's suspension is tuned for athletic handling, whereas the XC90 emphasizes comfort and smoothness. The XC90 is much more fuel-efficient than the Q7 and even offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain that provides 18 miles of all-electric range.
