2021 Audi Q5 vs. 2021 Volvo XC60

The 2021 Audi Q5 receives praises from avid Audi followers in Eastchester New York. This is because of the fact that it has a user-friendly infotainment system, and also offers a robust engine lineup to users. The ride has also been rated high in terms of safety.

When it comes to the 2021 Volvo XC60, expect that there is one comfortable ride to bring you where you want to go. The ride has also been rated good for its driver assistance features.

Design & Style

The 2021 Audi Q5 is one luxurious ride, as evidenced by its cozy and upscale interior. There is plenty of room to seat five people in both rows, that is, regardless of size, shape, and age. Adding points to design and style for this ride are its ventilated front seats, and leather upholstery. There is even an option to upgrade to heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, and sport front seats. The cabin is filled not just with high-end materials inside, but also with wooden inlays, and soft-touch leather surfaces.

The 2021 XC60, just like the Q5, also seats five passengers from various age categories. It also has a handsome cabin, filled with some of the most excellent finishes that you are looking for. While the interiors are high-class for the ride, it does not really impress when compared to that of the Audi Q5.

Technology & Safety

The 2021 Audi Q5 uses a 10.1-inch touch screen display for its MMI infotainment interface. It has a great list of features, among them are two USB ports, 10 speakers, wireless device charging, Wi-Fi hot spot, HD radio, and Bluetooth. It also integrates smartphone apps via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety wise, it has the Audi Pre Sense City that detects imminent collision, and integrates automatic emergency braking, and low-speed forward collision warning. Other driver aids like lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, and blind spot monitoring are found in the Audi Side Assist. It offers a rearview camera, and front and rear parking sensors in this ride.

In the case of the 2021 XC60, expect that it has a nine-inch touch screen for its Sensus infotainment system. This one is not as user-friendly as the interface found in the Q5, though. It is difficult to change settings for the interface because of how the system has been configured. Safety wise, it is equipped with blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning, among others.

Performance

With a total of three powertrains, the Q5 starts with the base turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 261 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid version that adds an electric motor generates up to 362 horsepower. Lastly, there is a twin-turbo V6 that can reach up to 349 horsepower.

Results for the engine variations in the XC60 are not that exciting. This one only has a base engine that can reach up to 250 horsepower. The T6 can only reach up to 316 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

There are plenty of things to love in the 2021 Audi Q5. It is definitely better in terms of design, technologies, and engine performance when compared to the 2021 Volvo XC60.
