2023 Volvo XC90 vs. 2023 Audi Q7

If you're looking for a premium SUV, the Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7 are two of the most popular choices. Both cars offer plenty of space, excellent handling, and impressive off-road capabilities. But which is best? We've compared both models to help you make the right decision.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design 

Regarding exterior design, the 2023 Volvo XC90 and 2023 Audi Q7 are two of the most stylish luxury SUVs on the market today.

The 2023 Volvo XC90 has a sleek and modern exterior reminiscent of other Swedish cars like its siblings, the S90 sedan and V60 wagon. It features an assertive front end with a large grille flanked by slim headlights. The rear end is rounded off with vertically stacked taillights plus slim exhaust tips at each corner of the bumper (a design element shared with its predecessor).

The 2023 Audi Q7 shares many of these same design cues but adds some flair in areas such as its chrome accents around its headlight housings; angular creases running down from each side mirror; wraparound tail lights with integrated LED fog lamps below them; and integrated spoiler above said lights which also houses dual exhaust tips when activated via button press or voice command ("Engine Start").

• Interior Design   

In the 2023 Volvo XC90, you'll find a modern cabin with high-quality materials and an elegant design. The SUV's interior features comfortable seats that are easy to adjust and plenty of storage space in the front and back. It has all the latest tech features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, automatic parking assist, and much more!

The Audi Q7 has an equally impressive interior design, including spacious seating for up to five passengers and plenty of legroom for everyone inside the cabin. The dashboard comes equipped with touchscreen technology, making it easy for drivers at any level of experience to operate their vehicle's infotainment system without any problems!

Technology & Safety  

The XC90 is a technology powerhouse, and it's not afraid to show off its capabilities. The center console features a large touchscreen that displays all the information you need, plus it can be used to control your music or phone calls. You can even use voice commands to ask the car questions like "Where are we?" or "How long until we reach our destination?"

The Q7 also has many tech features, but they're less cool than those on the XC90. The steering wheel has buttons for controlling climate settings and other functions.

Performance

The 2023 Volvo XC90 has 4 engine options: a turbocharged 2.0-liter I4 and 3.2-liter V6 (each with 247 hp) and a plug-in hybrid T8 model combining the 2.0-liter turbo with an electric motor for an output of 400 hp. The Audi Q7 offers only one engine choice: a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 rated at 335 hp that's mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission (and also available in the rear-wheel drive).

The Bottom Line    

The bottom line is that the 2023 Volvo XC90 is a better choice for most buyers. It's more spacious, offers more tech and safety features, and has a higher quality feel than its competitor.
