Q. Q7 2020 or Volvo XC90, which is the best?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. Audi Q7 offers Phenomenal ride quality, effortless performance from the 340PS V6 petrol, cabin insulation, space for the entire family, though the Q7 lacks road presence or wow features, it still remains luxurious and thoroughly comfortable 7-seater luxury SUV. On the other hand, the Volvo XC90 is a very interesting proposition not just for the individual who wants something slightly different and unique from his luxury car but for every luxury car buyer who doesn’t really care about 0-100kmph figures and cares more about interiors comfort and of course ride quality. And considering the fact that Indian luxury car buyers are generally chauffer driven, the XC90 fits the bill perfectly. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.
