2022 Audi Q7 vs. 2022 Volvo XC90

Getting a luxury three-row SUV is a large investment that requires you to compare your options carefully. With so many SUV models being sold now, where should you start? If you feel lost in the face of a myriad of options, we are here to aid you in making a wise decision. Stylish, tasteful, and powerful, the 2022 Audi Q7 is a great choice that will meet your standards. Another popular spacious SUV is the 2022 Volvo XC90. We will compare the two SUVs so you can understand how they differ.

Design & Style

As a sporty SUV, the XC90 does not really encompass designs that achieves the sportiness. With its squarish style, the XC90 is a lot more traditional than the Q7. In contrast, the Q7 is a perfect embodiment of the grand size of an SUV and the classic athletic vibes of an Audi sports car. With specially-designed turn indicators at its rear, the Q7 signals your turns to drivers behind in style with flashy, animated lights.

Technology & Safety

Whether you are an Apple or Android device user, you will be pleased to know that both the Q7 and XC90 have systems in place to let you sync your device to the SUV. However, the Q7 triumphs over the XC90 in other areas of technology that comes standard. This includes having two screens instead of one so you can customize and access your frequently used functions conveniently.

The Q7 also prevails in safety. While both SUVs come standard with pre-crash braking and rear parking sensor, the Q7 outdoes the XC90 by having a standard front parking sensor to accommodate different parking situations.

Performance

At the entry level, the XC90 produces slightly more horsepower than the Q7, but the Q7 has a significantly stronger engine so it can accelerate faster. With the right equipment, you can get the Q7 to tow up to 7700 lbs., but only 5000 lbs. on the XC90. Furthermore, it is expectable that you will sometimes have to drive on rougher terrains like unpaved or gavel roads. Thus, the standard Q7 will serve you better with its four-wheel drive. To get this upgrade in the XC90, you will have to pay extra.

The Bottom Line

While the starting price of the Q7 may be more than that of the XC90, it is justified in that the Q7 provides a lot more value and luxury that the XC90 does not. While you can upgrade the XC90 to include more features that the Q7 offers, there are just some features that are unique to the Q7. This is why we nominate the Q7 as your top choice in an SUV.
