2022 Audi A3 vs. 2022 Volvo S60
The Audi A3 and Volvo S60 are both compact luxury cars from automakers with deep roots in Europe. But which one is the best? We'll break down the major differences between these two cars so you can decide which is better for you.
Design & Style
- Exterior Design
The 2022 Audi A3 and 2022 Volvo S60 offer unique and timeless designs that appeal to many car buyers. The Audi A3 has a sleek profile, with an elegant front end and sculpted side panels. It also comes with standard LED headlights and taillights, dazzling at night. The Volvo S60 features a sleek, well-balanced roofline with its curvy bodywork. It also uses standard LED headlights and signature daytime running lights to give it an eye-catching look at all times of day or night. - Interior Design
You get a lot of features in the 2022 Audi A3, and it's got the look and feel of luxury. The interior is sleek and modern, with plenty of legroom for all passengers. The seats are comfortable, with memory settings for the driver's seat position when you want to set up a more relaxing ride. The dashboard controls are easy to use, including touchscreen displays on both sides as well as controls on the steering wheel that allow you to control things like music volume without taking your hands off the wheel.
The 2022 Volvo S60 has a similar interior design to its counterpart from Audi--it's sleek and modern, with plenty of legroom for all passengers. The Volvo S60 does offer slightly more cargo space than its German counterpart; however, neither can hold as much stuff as either vehicle's hatchback cousin (the Audi A3 Sportback or the Volvo V60).
Technology & Safety
The Audi A3 has a standard feature called the MMI Navigation Plus system, which is included in all trims. It provides real-time traffic updates and can be used with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as well. The 2022 S60 only offers voice control to access Siri or Google Assistant through its infotainment screen when equipped with the optional IntelliSafe Pro package.
The 2022 Volvo S60 has some extra perks related specifically to safety: one feature called Safe Exit Assist uses cameras along with sensors that detect cars around you while backing out so that it can keep you from hitting other vehicles while reversing out into traffic; another feature called Pre-Collision Braking senses an upcoming collision then alerts you via flashing lights in order to give yourself time before impact so that no one gets hurt or damaged property comes into play (if this often happens enough).
Performance
The 2022 Audi A3 will come equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged I4 engine that provides up to 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The 2022 Volvo S60 also comes equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged I4 engine that provides up to 250 horses and 258 lb-ft of torque.
The engines in both cars are impressive, but the 2022 Audi A3 seems to have the edge thanks to its higher horsepower rating and lower curb weight (by 28 pounds). However, the 2022 Volvo S60's better fuel efficiency could make it more appealing for those who want better fuel economy.
The Bottom Line
If you're looking for a stylish, comfortable car with great performance, the 2022 Audi A3 is an excellent choice. It has plenty of room for you and your friends, plus it's fun to drive—especially when equipped with the optional Quattro all-wheel drive system.
