Compare the Audi Q7 vs Volvo XC90
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you need a luxurious seven-seater, both the Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7 provide wide second rows that comfortably fit three adults abreast, alongside sliding and reclining middle seats. Both also offer third rows that can accommodate adults on short journeys. However, stowing the rearmost seats requires pulling a manual lever in the Volvo, whereas the Audi folds its third row electronically at the touch of a button. When hauling heavy loads, the Audi Q7 can tow more than the XC90. Around town, both cars feature automatic gearboxes that shift almost imperceptibly, but while the Q7 is hugely comfortable over broken surfaces, the XC90 has suspension that feels a little firm at low speeds.
