The Volvo XC60 and Audi Q5 are two-row luxury SUVs aimed at drivers who want premium comfort in a manageable size. Both offer all-wheel drive and modern cabins. Their differences show up in cargo capacity, interface design, and powertrain choices.
Cargo and Technology
The Audi Q5 has 27.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind its rear seats. The Volvo XC60 has 21 to 22 cubic feet of cargo space, depending on the configuration. That advantage may matter for families carrying luggage or sports equipment. The Q5 also has a larger 14.5-inch central touchscreen, while the refreshed cabin of the Volvo XC60 uses an 11.2-inch display.
The XC60 emphasizes refined cabin materials, while the Q5 leans into a more screen-focused cockpit. Lexington, SC, drivers should try both layouts and consider which feels easier to use.

The Audi Q5 reaches 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. The Volvo XC60 mild-hybrid reaches 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. The Volvo XC60 also has a higher combined EPA fuel economy of 26 mpg.
