2022 Audi A7 vs. 2022 Volvo S90
The 2022 Volvo S90 is a swanky automobile with blistering powertrains, relaxed handling and extensive tech. But is all this enough to beat the 2022 Audi A7, a car which has been praised for its sultry appearance, posh interior and hybrid plugin option?
Design & Style
The A7 is one of the most powerful cars sold by Audi. It carries five passengers and its newest feature for the year includes the introduction of the Premium trim along with optional twenty one inch alloyed wheels. Its exterior profile is conservative yet classy, with a pinched roofline that extends smoothly to the back bumper, creating a fastback appearance. Inside, the cabin is equally impressive and forty nine cubic feet has been reserved for cargo space.
The Volvo S90 also seats five and a number of changes have been made to it this year. The previous turbocharged engine has been phased out for a state of the art hybrid variant which is called the B6. It has an extensive wheelbase with lots of room even in the back seat and like the A7 takes a conservative approach, with the minimalistic style that the brand has become famous for.
Technology & Safety
Volvo is known for being a safe automotive brand and the S90 retains this reputation, having earned the coveted Top Safety Pick+ via the IIHS. It has yet to be tested by the NHTSA, but comes with all the modern features drivers want, like activated lane control, blind area monitoring, emergency automated brakes and a camera with surround view. Comforts within its interior include crystal geared knob, sound system from Harmon Kardon, climate control, leather seats that can be cooled or heated and air suspension.
The IIHS is also fond of the Audi A7, giving it a Top Safety Pick+ due to its outstanding performance. It has every single safety function found in the Volvo, including a camera with surround view, activated lane control, adapted cruise control, airbags and standardized automated emergency brakes. Its cabin comforts include a sound system from Bang & Olufsen, advanced illumination, the option of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, ten inch infotainment displays, and soft shut doors with climate control.
Performance
The Audi A7 is powered by a V6, 3 liter engine that can generate 335 horsepower. This enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 5 seconds. The Volvo S90 is powered by an inline 4, 2 liter engine that is supercharged and capable of generating 295 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
While both cars seat the same number of passengers and are tied when it comes to safety accolades, the Audi A7 edges out the Volvo when it comes to performance, and its hybrid variant provides superior fuel economy. And this combined with the S90’s tiny trunk makes the Audi A7 the winner.
