[@LsIQIs2K]

Car Wow is good too. I prefer older ppl reviews but this was better than I expected

[@TheMichaelRN]

XC90 is the oldest but the design makes it timeless. Just shows you don't need humongous grille, complicated lighting, thousands of lines, etc to make a classic.

[@joecool9739]

Sorry dude but of theres any company out there making timeless designs, its Audi. The 2014 Q7 was the last year for the 1st Gen Q7. It still looks like a new design.

[@davis6123]

The XC90 is classic, old school luxury. I love how elegant and timeless it is. The Q7 looks good now but in five years I can see it starting to look dated. It’s just so modernized and trendy, so if consumer preference changes even slightly, it might suffer. Great comparison!

[@mooriabdul3861]

Only the Volvo has airbags in the third row. That is what ultimately led to me choosing the XC90. Can’t wait until it’s delivered ☺️

[@kitlai768]

XC90 for me especially in the R Design trim with 22inch wheels. The comfort & refinement is top notch and them Bowers & Wilkins sound amazing 😍

[@Alberts_Kviesis]

road noise is very noisy on 22inch wheels, XC90 has poor road noise sound isolation

[@shunt8084]

Had the B&W system in my XC90, and must admit it sounded better than my upgraded B&O ( Advanced ) in my Q8. The B&W has better mid range and had more options to tweak the sound.

[@beaman7263]

I‘ve owned my XC90 R Design T8 model for 2 years, it has fully loaded specs, yes 22in is noisy on the rough road, but there is not much difference on the motorway. And you will never get bored with Bowers & Wilkins

[@onelove3748]

I have an xc90 R design myself and I can tell you, that car will blow any luxury suv out of the water on reliability alone. At that price we could’ve bought any one of them and we chose reliability over badges. This is coming from a BMW owner too. Audi starts making reliability a priority and then we can talk. All these light gimmicks?! Idk, tricks are for kids is how I see it.

[@tanaytoshniwal8518]

Bang and Olufsen System for Audi Q7 is far better

[@SammyLeau]

I've never been a big fan of Volvo cars up until last year. But something about this XC90, I'm just loving the look of it. I'm actually looking at getting one of these one day.

[@pyrocat14]

Our xc90 is so fantastic. Never regret buying it.

[@Tebbulator]

Volvo for sure, only thing that disappoints me about the Volvo is the I-4 engine, definitely had to wrap my head around that one

[@ivanlowjones]

As a Volvo XC90 owner, I will admit the Q7 was on my short list vs the Volvo back in 2017. This 2020 Q7 definitely has the edge in powertrain performance along with its Google Earth maps and navigation. Too bad the boys didn't choose a Bowers & Wilkins audio equipped XC90 Inscription trim which would have been worth 2 points on its own. Lastly, Volvo still offers free Over the Air vehicle software and infotainment updates and free downloadable navi map upgrades.

[@MrRover30]

I was in the same boat as you. I was literally test driving the Q7 in 2017 and the paper work was all about complete accept for my signature. Durning the test drive I seen for the very first time the Crystal white pearl Volvo XC90 Inscription at a red light and was thinking thats a Volvo? The way the detail of the chrome and smooth front end and the Pearl came together. 2 days later I was driving one! Since they were fairly new around that time and people were not sure how the 4 cyc. Was going to hold up. But it’s a champ. I mostly drive around in dynamic mode and the Bowers can make you feel like your at a concert! Lease is up and now I’m thinking about the 21 S90 Inscription Recharge which replaces the T8!

[@ivanlowjones]

@@MrRover30 I was looking at a well optioned Q7 Premium Plus that stickered for about $600 more than my XC90 T6 R-Design. That Q7 lacked air suspension, the top of the line audio system, auto self parking, and the full suite of driver and safety aids, which were only available on the Q7 Prestige trim (about $10,000 more). My XC90 came with all those options.

[@ivanlowjones]

@Jesus Anaya 42,000 miles approximately. No major issues so far.

[@ivanlowjones]

@Jesus Anaya These new generation of Volvo's are designed in Sweden and built in Europe with the exception of the S90 and hybrid XC60's. Geely funds Volvo's R&D and is fairly hands off otherwise from what I've read. Most Volvo's will be built in the U.S starting next year in South Carolina.

[@varunmenon474]

I was in the market deciding between these two but finally went with the XC90. Audi definitely has more tech and is performance oriented. The Volvo has good power too if you drive it in the dynamic mode. It all came down to two factors the design and comfort. I absolutely loved Volvo's design, sleek and sexy on the outside and so minimalist on the inside and the deciding factor was the those Volvo seats which were so damn comfortable and the cabin was so quiet I loved it.

Just bought a 2019 XC90. Has everything for its trim level, got a really great deal in a T6 Momentum. Other than not having the Inscription leather and sound system, it has everything else. Well, doesn’t have the air ride suspension, but I’ve had that on other cars and I just never really “needed” it. Love this car so far, Volvo has been good for us.

[@m.8442]

Air suspension is the only thing that the Volvo needs

This is THE MOST comprehensive, thorough, detailed comparison I have EVER seen. You two guys do an INCREDIBLE job of putting vehicle against vehicle, and you should be EXCEPTIONALLY proud of this video. I'm more of an Q5 / XC60 buyer (and forgive me, but I just can't buy a Mexican-built Audi, no matter how wonderful), but you've given me the BEST, most PROFESSIONAL comparison between Audi and Volvo that I've ever seen. THANK YOU, GUYS. You're both just amazing!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks, George! We really appreciate the kind words! 😁

[@timlwin]

Reliability and over-all ownership experience superiority goes to Volvo. All Volvo enthusiast and owners would agree. Thanks for the great review guys!

[@rayc1503]

I've owned a 2015 Q7 3.0 tdi and now own 2017 T8 inscription. I had to change for low emissions regulations. Imho the Volvo is much more balanced to drive and the pickup on the T8 is way better. Running costs the XC90 wins again. I like to try the Q7 Etron.

[@goodq8]

3 things that the Volvo wins in that are not mentioned in this review are: 1- Crash test safety. the XC90 is the safest car in the world 2- Offroading capabilities. The XC90 can literally take you anywhere and I myself first hand tried my T6 XC90 in the Kuwaiti desert many times 3- on the XC90 inscription trim you can get the 19 speaker B&W sound system which is the first of its kind in the world and it is better than any other car i have tried.

[@ievastrupaite3906]

Do you have a source to share that VOLVO is the safest car? Very interested

[@rwhunt99]

With no offense intended for the Car Confections Channel, when you're spending that kind of money for a car, you really need to do the footwork and test drive the cars you are interested in. I find my tests indicated a far higher score for Volvo than Audi. That is surprising for me, as I was more interested in Audi than Volvo. As it was I got involved in the OSD (Over Seas Delivery )program with Volvo. I ordered the Xc90 and (planned) to picked it up in Sweden - Gothenberg and was taking a two week vacation then dropping it off and they would then deliver it to my dealer.This including round trio air fare, one night in a 5 star hotel and dinner along with a brunch and a tour of the factory with a substantial money savings to boot. Due to the Covid-19 issue things came to a grinding halt in March. I have since picked up the car at my dealer and I'm very happy with my choice

[@bighands69]

It really comes down to personal choice. I like the X90 looks but would prefer the drive of the Audi and I prefer Audi as a brand but it is all about personal choice. I am not into the whole sporty feel of cars that everybody bags on about in reviews and just prefer the more planted and smooth drive of a car especially for a family car.

[@VK-sc6mf]

We have Volvo XC90 D5 (235 hp diesel), bought new back in January 2018 and it's really great with economy (open road 7.2 L / 100 km or about 32 mpg). I just drove it this evening without any destination in mind and was just enjoying Bowers & Wilkins sound. It's out of this world when your sound comes from 19 speakers, each and every one of those sounds isolated in perfect harmony. What I dislike about it is 4 stroke engine. It needs 6 or 8 cylinders to be proper SUV. That's the only reason why I was looking at Audi, or to be specific at SQ7 4.0 TFSI. Only problem holding me back is second thing I dislike about Volvo, residual... I probably lost over 50-55% in these almost 4 years of ownership, and on top of sale value, I'd need to add almost full price of brand new standard Volvo to get in SQ7, only to face another residual nightmare in few years time. Leasing is not option for me. So far, I decided not to change anything and keep enjoying my XC90 with less than 50k kilometers on clock (it's my second/third car, mostly used for trips, etc.)

[@bighands69]

Audi produces beautiful interiors as well.

[@DerLangolier]

You guys did a really great job side by side. Like that. We bought a 2019 XC90 last year and after a year of ownership we are still absolutely in love. That little 4 cyl. Has no problem on the Autobahn Here in Germany. By far one of the most comfortable cars owned. So far we only needed an oil change and quick recall update on the auto brake /self driving function. When the roads were wet or the sun very bright it did try and steer you into the Jersey walls.

[@DerLangolier]

@Jesus Anaya so far after a year it's just fine. Although we only have like 17,000km or 10k miles. It's still very smooth shifting... We took it on a trip up north this summer about 10 hours each way. Was a joy. The only issue we did have was with the auto driving function wanting to drive me into a wall. But that was a known issue and corrected by a recall this spring. 😁

You guys ever consider doing a nighttime review to highlight exterior & interior lighting (including ambient)?

Just a thought.

I would reduce the amount of points awarded for price differences when the prices are above $60,000 or make it proportional to the price.

[@robyoungquist5803]

Uuum guys ... the Volvo T8 Inscription is the top level. I ❤️ mine. I have the Crystal White pearl exterior/blonde interior. I chose the Volvo because of its uncluttered Scandinavian look (yes I’m Swedish) and thankfully devoid of the piano black facia. I leave my Bowers & Wilkins sound system on “concert hall” mode ... it’s as though I’m sitting 15 yards away from the Conductor of the National Orchestra of Sweden in Gotenburg except I’m sitting in a heated, leather seat that’s much more comfortable. The sound of the string, brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments is energized and precise. And driving in Southern California, we LIVE in our cars 🙄. The only advantage Audi has over Volvo in IMHO is Google Maps which is outstanding BUT I already know where I’m driving so it wasn’t something I couldn’t live without. Add in the 3 year maintenance being covered and it was a no brainer for me. Finally, as you know, SAFETY is of paramount importance at Volvo. Btw, out here Pasadena, Rusnak Auto Group has the Audi, BMW, and Volvo dealership so it was an easy comparison between the two. I say two because I’d NEVER own a beemer. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@marcusteschner2812]

After 20.000 miles with the XC90 I never achieved anything close to the announced consumption. I simply do not drive WLPT test, but real life. Electric power is just good for 10-12 miles, then you just have a front wheel drive small engine iwth big turbo reaching just 18 MPG when never exceeding 85 mph. Except the fake consumption, there are many more things related to the concept so different from the Q7, you do not mention. Given the low availability of the electric power (range and shut-down at 75 mph), the reliably available power is not 400 hp but only the 300 from the petrol engine, and this only after waiting 2 full seconds for the turbo delivering pressure. Given that on this kind of car you need power not for the racetrack or the quarter mile but in unpredicted situations (e.g. passing slow vehicles on short distance, moving-on on crossroads), the real feeling of power remains that of a much too small engine for the car. Adding to that, the 4 cylinder is built in cross, this means power is assymetric and when you finally manage the 300 hp to wake up, they all pull on the front wheels in an unpredicted direction and you have to keep them on track. But, you are right, the seats are ok, but this is not enough for a money you can get a real V6 or V8 with real 4WD.

[@bighands69]

The consumption is not fake it is optimum meaning the best that could be achieved.

Based purely on looks XC90 is a clear winner for me. Understated elegance and attention to details in a minimalistic language.....

[@nikhilsr1]

You guys are very lucky, for the Indian markets they started REDUCING the safety features even for the high end XC90 Inscription trim too and we pay a much much higher price than the other markets Which means that they are planning on exiting from this market, as I always thought that SAFETY was THE CORE VALUE OF VOLVO Also for the 2020 model they have removed the total safety features of the backside and is not such a safe car anymore in India. I was shocked to know that VOLVO who claim their core value to be be SAFEST cars, have done away with nearly 30% of the safety systems in the Indian market

Are indian auto import taxes high. If they are it probably explains what is happening.

Owned a 2016 XC90 RDesign, and now have a Q8. The new Q7 shares a lot of the Q8, but differs in cargo room and styling. That being said, I I find both interiors to be high class and well made. Seats are comfortable in both. The Volvo T6 engine with the added Polestar tune gave me ample passing and on-ramp power for the heavy vehicle it is. However, the Audi V6 sounds better and has better overall pulling power through upper revs. The Volvo sounds raspy. The Audi excels at sound insulation and ride quality, even with 22 inch wheels on my Audi. Lastly, I find that screen orientation matters. While the center stack screens are close in size, I find the horizontal layout of the Audi preferred. If you use CarPlay, the vertical orientation ruins the CarPlay experience as the CarPlay is intended for a horizontal viewing experience. I see the comments on the piano black trim and finger prints on the touchscreens. You don’t really see finger prints head on when the screen is active. But it is no big deal to stash a microfiber cloth on the console and wipe it down every now and then. No biggie.

I have the 2016 XC90 and the 4 cyl engine has adequate acceleration but I don't enjoy driving it as much as my Audi as it feels like a 4 cylinder engine working as hard as it can. Much harsher feel and sound to it. I also don't like the MMI near as much, trying to change radio stations can be a chore. They both are very well equipped and feel equally luxurious. The Audi is much smoother, the Volvo has better adaptive cruise. They are both great but I'd buy the Audi over the Volvo just because of the engine. I liked Audi's old MMI much better than the Volvo but not sure the 2020 Audi will be much better than Volvo's, I like some manual knobs it makes frequent adjustments much easier.

Volvo speaks exclusive...Audi speaks show-ff, I'm rich bitches.

[@cartik4296]

I don't know why everyone say Audi has the best quality... Lolz... It's 75 Grand and it has plastic all over.... Cheapp...

[@ca2blink266]

I think so too, audi, bmw, has very expensive optional prices also relevant

[@onelove3748]

Cartik that goes for bmw too. I know from experience freaking cheaply made bs

[@jack32322]

Reply V for Volvo , A for Audi. Let me count

[@lakshmandalpadado9066]

Audi design is messy. That front grill looks hideous. Some would day downright ugly. Looks cheap compared to the Volvo. The XC90 on the other hand looks elegant and exudes class.

[@onelove3748]

Agreed! that front looks like someone went too far with the plastic surgery... and nobody’s told her yet. 😹

[@lolocorral8693]

GooooooooooD Job
