When it comes to choosing a luxury 3rd row SUV the competition can be stiff. The Volvo XC90 is in direct competition with the Audi Q7 and while some would argue that it comes down to brand loyalty we don’t agree. Even the most brand loyal driver can be swayed by the right features and price points, and there are definitely some features that put the Volvo XC90 as a front runner. With a sleek design and Scandinavian comfort, it will be hard to find a reason the Volvo XC90 isn’t for you.
Volvo XC90 vs Audi Q7 - Interior Design
The comfort that is felt from the moment you sit in the Volvo XC90 will have you wanting to skip the test drive and drive straight off the lot. Volvo put a lot of thought into the design and features that have been added to this model. From the Napa leather to the real wood accents the design is both thoughtful and luxurious. While the Audi Q7 definitely rivals the XC90, it can’t beat the overall luxurious feel that comes with riding in a Volvo.
Volvo XC90 vs Audi Q7 - Innovative Tech
Both vehicles have upgraded tech and infotainment systems that allow for hands-free access to your smartphone, music, navigation and so much more. While we did expect the Audi Q7 to offer more cargo space between the two due to its label as both a family SUV as well as an SUV for adventures, the XC90 comes out on top for available cargo space at 12.6 cu. ft. of trunk space. Both vehicles offer the same amount of passenger space.
Volvo XC90 vs Audi Q7 - Performance
Both of these 3-row luxury SUVs are crossover hybrids that offer 3 engine types with electric options being one of the available options. The available engine options on the Volvo XC90 include: the base 2.0-liter turbo-four engine, the power upgraded 316 horsepower turbocharged engine, and the hybrid. Where the Volvo XC90 really stands out is for its impressive fuel economy. Featuring 26 MPG on the highway, the XC90 puts the Q7’s 21 city MPG to shame.
Volvo XC90 vs Audi Q7 - Pricing
2020 Volvo XC90 Starting Price: $48,350
2020 Audi Q7 Starting Price: $54,800
What really sets these two hybrid 3rd-row luxury SUVs apart is the price point. They both offer similar features and luxuries but they don’t offer the same pricing. This can be a game-changer for some drivers. We work hard for the money we earn and we want to get the most for every dollar that we spend. The Volvo XC90 offers more value for your dollar without sacrificing features and luxury. Luxury plus value equal an overall better luxury SUV.
So when it comes right down to it, the Volvo XC90 is a better option for drivers. Not only does it have all of the features and specs that drivers want in a luxury SUV but it is more financially accessible to a larger group of buyers.
