2022 Audi Q5 vs. 2022 Volvo XC60
Praised for its lavish and sporty design, the 2022 Audi Q5 clearly suits the requirements of small families out there. This luxury SUV is rated high in terms of technologies and standard features. Add to that, you can count on its engines too.
Spacious and lavish inside, the 2022 Volvo XC60 is a ride that has robust powertrains to offer. The vehicle replaces its T5 and T6 with the B5 and B6. It gets a refreshed exterior styling as well.
Design & Style
Gifted with a classy cabin, the 2022 Audi Q5 definitely knows how to combine materials to make it look even more luxurious than its rivals. It is fitted with standard leather seats which can be upgraded to Nappa leather upholstery. Accentuating the interior are wood trim pieces that can be converted into aluminum and carbon fiber inlays for an additional investment. Sitting five people comfortably inside, this one meets the family's expectations.
Stylish and well-built from the inside to the outside, the 2022 version of the XC60 oozes with a good look. It uses premium cloth upholstery, although it allows upgrades to leather seats. That makes the Q5 better in terms of design than its Volvo counterpart. It has been configured to sit five, with plenty of room to stretch in for both rows.
Technology & Safety
Quickly responding to user inputs, and displaying crisp graphics all the time for the 2022 Audi Q5 is a 10.1-inch touch screen display for is infotainment system. This also features wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 10 speakers, Wi-Fi hot spot, HD radio, two USB ports, wireless device charging, and Bluetooth. There is a long list of driver aids which includes a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and forward collision warning.
The 2022 XC60 is one with a large touch screen, but still uses a volume knob and a few buttons to get the entertainment going. These ones are reliable but it still lacks a tuning knob that is supposed to be used when switching radio stations. It has a nine-inch touch screen, Wi-Fi hot spot, 10 speakers, and wireless device charging, but only integrates Android Auto. It has plenty of safety features, and all of them are part of what the Q5 offers.
Performance
Given a base turbo-four engine under its hood, the 2022 Audi Q5 generates up to 261 horsepower. This goes up to 362 horsepower in its plug-in hybrid version. The XC60, on the other hand, puts off 247 horsepower for its four-cylinder engine, with the other engine version resulting in 295 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2022 Audi Q5 definitely knows how to tickle the pickle of car buyers out there. It has a lot to offer in terms of design, technologies, and even engine performance. The 2022 Volvo XC60 is a worthy opponent, but does not surpass the Q5.
