Audi Q7 Vs. Volvo XC90 Comparison: Specs, Engine, Interior, Towing, And More
If you are debating the Audi Q7 vs. Volvo XC90 three-row SUVs, you've stopped by the right place. These luxury vehicles have a lot to offer families of up to seven people, but we'll zoom in on some of their differences below.
Audi Q7 vs. Volvo XC90 Performance and Specs
When you go for the Audi Q7, you can choose between two powertrain options. The first is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine combined with 12-volt hybrid technology, giving you 261 horsepower. This standard engine is paired with an automatic transmission and AWD. This will allow you to tow 4,400 pounds when your vehicle is properly equipped. The other option is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 matched to a 48-volt hybrid system that produces 335 Audi Q7 horsepower and an EPA-estimated MPG of 18/22/20 (City/Highway/Combined).1
Similarly, the Volvo XC90 also has two mild hybrid powertrain options: the B5 and B6. The B5 contains a four-cylinder direct injection turbo engine and delivers 247 horsepower. It, too, comes with an automatic transmission and AWD, but it has superior towing capacity to the Audi Q7, enabling you to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. The B6 is more powerful than the B5, being both turbocharged and supercharged, and offers you 295 horsepower. It has better fuel economy than the most powerful Audi engine, making an EPA-estimated 20/26/22 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).2
However, the real winner in the Audi Q7 vs. Volvo XC90 race is the Volvo XC90 Recharge. This is a plug-in hybrid version of the former SUV, making 455 Volvo XC90 horsepower and offering superior fuel economy, including a pure-electric range of 32 miles,3 allowing you to take short trips from home without using gasoline.
