Interior Comfort

No matter if it's a road trip to Seattle or your daily commute to Federal Way, you want to be able to settle into a premium cabin that keeps you comfortable no matter the distance. The overall width of the Volvo XC60 is more than the Audi Q5 giving you more room to stretch out. The seats are specifically designed to be supportive and morph to you your shape, so you don't feel pressure and get out of the vehicle feeling sore.

Powertrains and Efficiency

Both the Audi Q5 and Volvo XC60 share a lot in common when it comes to underneath the hood. The Audi Q5 features a 3.2-liter V06 and Quattro all-wheel drive as standard, although the Volvo XC60 does come equipped with an eight-speed transmission while the Audi Q5 only comes with a seven-speed transmission, which means the Volvo XC60 comes with more driving versatility. The Volvo XC60 now comes with a 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline-six that pumps out an impressive 281 horsepower, making it a better performer.

Safety Features

Newer Volvo XC60 models come equipped with a host of standard safety features that make your drive that much more confident. You'll be equipped with top safety technologies like City Safety and Run-off Road Mitigation, a head-up display and much more, all coming standard as part of their IntelliSafe program.

Both models do come with standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, as well as side-impact airbags. If you are looking for more standard safety equipment that is easy-to-use than we suggest the Volvo XC60.

When it comes to design, this is a more personal preference to shoppers, but we find that the unique design of the Volvo XC60 brings it out on top. Once you settle into the cabin, you'll be greeted by more simplicity and calming interior in comparison to the Audi Q5. The touchscreen is better integrated into the dash making it safer and easier to use.

The Volvo XC60 also features quite tuning technology that does a better job at hushing the busy roads of Seattle. The goal of the XC60 is to create an oasis for the driver. There are diamond-cut finishes throughout the cabin that adds an additional touch of luxury. This detail can be found on the stunning control shifter and has been specifically designed for Volvo.
