AI generated from our expert reviews

The Audi Q4 e-tron has a bigger boot than the Volvo XC60, though the XC60 can tow more. When dealing with potholes and speed bumps, the Q4 e-tron absorbs them with ease, whereas the XC60 has suspension that is a touch less comfortable than you might expect. In the back, sitting three abreast is a bit of a squeeze in the Audi, while the Volvo provides enough space for three grown-ups to sit next to each other without feeling over-familiar. Up front, you will find that adjusting the climate controls on the screen is harder or a bit fiddly to use on the move in both cars.
