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!

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 ☺️

Our xc90 is so fantastic. Never regret buying it.

Really like your compare/contrast reviews - they touch on those features most consumers would consider important presented objectively, free of bias. Esthetically both are beautiful cars with similar features - one can easily check elsewhere for reliability & maintenance issues. Great job, guys!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

In the future could you play the same song in each car so it's easier to compare the difference.

that is a pretty big difference in terms of scores (a 20% difference).

After seeing this video and the comparison video between XC90 vs Q7, I purchased XC90 2020. I love the SUV but I am really disappointed by the cabin voice level. At the intersection with engine turn off I can hear all the cars passing by and even going on the highway at speed of 75mph I can hear most of the noise from the road. I traded in my 2015 MDX for XC90 and MDX had much better noise level. I got my XC90 checked at the dealership to make sure that there was nothing wrong with my XC90 but they said that this is the general noise level from all XC90s. I want to ask you guys am I suppose to hear all the cars passing by when I am standing at the intersection with the engine turned off?

Excellent comparison. I prefer the appearance of the Volvo, inside and out. The rest is so close as it makes no difference.

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.)

What options do you have on the Q7?

I'm from Brazil and left my like

Right now these are my two favorite brands.

Owned both but I prefer the Q7. More comfortable solidly built.

gle,q7,xc90, aviator, rx350..shopped, test drove....bought xc90 at the end. here is my thought all of them are good car, just personal preference at the end.

In the long run, for the money and overall value, I gotta go with the Volvo. And I could do without some options at the price level shown to take the price down even further if there's any.

Q7 tail light , front light are so cool 😎

I had Escalade,bmw,Mercedes,Audi,Volkswagen.gmc,ford,navigator most likely everything on the market,and I only keep them no more the 2 year’s but with the xc90 inscription 2017 I bought it in 2017 and is been 5 years and I will keep it for more years it’s classic beautiful Run perfect inside us beautiful outside is beautiful,

Can we compare the XC90 electric package with the Tesla?

“Now let’s see how they drive”.".. goes down a one way in the wrong direction. 😂😂

The costly repairs for the turbo charged and super-charged Volvo engine will be interesting and fun to when it start having issues. Only reason why I avoided getting one.

In Europe the xc90 2020 car is mild hybrid, what car would you rather be in in the event of a crash? The Volvo.

I don't think the price is difference is as much of a differentiator for people buying these types of vehicles. 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.

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.
