Choose the Volvo XC90
If you discount the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid, the Audi Q7 has a bigger, more robust engine. That said, our Volvo XC90 lease deal selection in Coconut Creek, FL, lets you experience a considerably comfortable drive at motorway speeds, uninhibited by slopes or passing other vehicles. The Volvo XC90 SUV also has significantly better MPG ratings across its two available engines - and electric-only capability for the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid.
Both vehicles highlight smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmissions, letting you accelerate, hold cruising speed, and slow to a stop with pristine efficiency.
The Volvo XC90 features an optional active air suspension add-on, keeping your ride exceptionally stable by automatically maintaining ride height. It takes road bumps exceedingly well and offers an off-road mode to improve ride height and keep your family - and your investment - safe on the roads less traveled. The comfort adaptive air suspension on the Audi Q7 Prestige attempts to do the same, though it offers less additional functionality - at a higher price.
Audi lease specials are null and void even when stacked up against the Volvo XC90 base price. If you're on the hunt for comparable Audi Q7 lease deals in South Florida, quit while you're ahead.
