2022 Audi TT vs. 2022 Volvo S90

The 2022 Volvo S90 is a large and luxurious vehicle. Its elegant yet reserved appearance, robust powertrains and unassailable safety tech makes it one of Sweden’s most popular cars. But can it go toe to toe with the 2022 Audi TT, an exciting car which thrills due to its turbo 4, driver centric cabin and active safety functions?

Design & Style

The Audi TT is a roadster with magnificent power. It has an oval shaped exterior with a design that is sleek and low slung, and the cockpit is immaculately trimmed with various gauges and a dash which is covered by leather with roundish vents nearby. The seats are also leather covered, with nappa to be exact, and its magnetic dampers further refine the riding experience.

The latest Volvo S90 has received a number of enhancements. The first of these is the turbocharged base engine, which has been replaced with a hybrid variant that can be super or turbocharged. The V90 wagon has also been discontinued, and the S90 wheelbase has been extended which provides greater room in the rear seats.

Technology & Safety

Since the Audi TT is a high end vehicle, federal agencies are reluctant to crash test it, but it has most of the modern safety features that drivers demand and expect, like blind area monitoring, parking sensors and airbags. Luxuries within its cabin include heated seating in front, audio from Bang & Olufsen, and a digitized gauge cluster and navigation system.

The Volvo S90 has many of the safety countermeasures found in the Audi TT, such as airbags, cruise control that is adaptive and the ability to monitor blind spots. However, its headlights were only found to be “acceptable” rather than “good” as was the case with previous editions. Passengers in the cabin will have access to luxuries such as a camera with surround view, leather seats that can be heated or cooled, climate control and an audio system from Harman Kardon.

Performance

The Volvo S90 has an inline 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 295 horsepower that is connected with a forty eight volt style starter generator. The Audi TT also has a turbo 4 engine which can generate 228 horsepower with the ability to go from zero to sixty in just 4.4 seconds, with a maximum top speed of 155 mph.

The Bottom Line

While the Volvo S90 has plenty of engine power, it also comes with headlights that are inferior to previous editions, which is a big deal given that drivers need them to see in dark environments. For its asking price, the headlights should be nothing short of good, and when combined with its small trunk the Audi TT is definitely the winner.
