What Drives a Volvo XC60 vs. an Audi Q5?
The Volvo XC60 is powered by a 247-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and standard AWD to give you quick acceleration combined with a reassuring level of control. Its double-wishbone front suspension and integral link rear suspension with a transverse lightweight leaf spring contribute to its responsive handling.
The Audi Q5 can come with a 201-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder or a more expensive 261-horsepower available engine. For some, that extra 14 horsepower may be important, especially as it lends the SUV some extra towing capacity. However, others may prefer the Volvo SUV's superior fuel efficiency and 489-mile range,1,3 which makes it capable of going further than either Audi engine between gas station visits. Those near Miami, FL, could make it to Georgia or Charleston on one tank of gas.
Of course, for those primarily interested in strength, there is the Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid, which not only boasts 455 horsepower but also limited all-electric driving capabilities and a stellar MPGe rating.
How Much Does Size Matter?
The Volvo XC60 is only slightly longer than the Audi Q5. However, you will notice a real difference on the inside, where the Volvo SUV offers drivers 41.5 inches of legroom and up to 63.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity. An Audi leaser will get 40.9 inches of front-seat legroom and up to 54.1 cubic feet of storage space for their groceries or gear.6
