The updated SUVs from the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 have become very good for families, it won't work out right away which one is better, so let's see the characteristics of each.
As mentioned earlier, Audi unveiled its completely redesigned Q7 SUV, and it didn't take long for updates from Volvo to unveil the all-new XC90. Both manufacturers have made many changes to their models, but still it's hard to say which one is better, so let's compare the characteristics.
The old Audi Q7 was bulky and could not be called a family SUV. Large on the outside and little space on the inside. In the new Audi Q7, the opposite is true, there is more space inside. From the outside, the new one has become elegant, and not so bulky. Many people say that it is much better in interior and interior design than the BMW X5 or similar bulky SUV.
As for the XC90, the previous model was also bulky in body. But here's a new model, with beautiful bodywork, making the XC90 more attractive. Volvo has made the new SUV the safest in terms of safety standards and intends to continue to hold this position.
The biggest difference between Volvo and Audi starts under the hood. Suffice it to recall the previous Audi Q7, with a 4.2 liter V8 engine. and a capacity of 315 hp. In the new XC90, a two-liter engine with a capacity of 400 hp is hidden under the hood. This is achieved thanks to the turbocharging and reserve on the electric motor.
As for the new Audi Q7, unlike the old one, they hid a 3-liter diesel engine under the hood. with a capacity of 218 hp. on a conventional engine or 272 hp on a hybrid. As already mentioned, sales of the hybrid Q7 e-tron have started in Germany. In Russia, it is not planned to sell Audi such a complete set, although no one forbids bringing it. The third row of seats in the Volvo XC90 is made more comfortable, with a roomy leg opening and good head restraints. The second row of seats can move forward, USB charging ports are also available for them. The Audi Q7 has the same set, but the headroom is slightly less. But still, in front of Swedish competitors, Audi takes over, comfort and control location, a front console divided into several airflow zones, a rich set of buttons and control menus, which will take at least a couple of weeks to figure out. The XC90 has just a few buttons on the front console and a large touchscreen display.
In terms of shape and acceleration, the Audi Q7 is a little faster and more economical, if you are not going to carry a lot of passengers every day or travel a long distance with passengers in the third row of seats, then it may be suitable for a family.
On the other hand, the Audi Q7 is a little uncomfortable, since with the seats open in three rows, there will be no room in the trunk for things, and the third row of seats will be convenient only for children who are not an adult, since the height from the third row of seats to the ceiling is completely small. What can not be said about the Volvo XC90, there is enough roomy trunk, an adult can sit on the third row of seats and there will be enough space. Therefore, we can say that in this comparison, the Volvo XC90 is considered the best family SUV.
