When comparing safety in the Volvo XC90 vs Audi Q7 debate, the Volvo XC90 takes the lead. Standard features like Pilot Assist Driver Assistance, City Safety Collision Avoidance, and a Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert make navigating crowded streets in Corona and Riverside safer. 

In contrast, many of these features on the Audi Q7 require optional packages, increasing its price. With the XC90, families can enjoy safety technology without a compromise on affordability.  

Comfort & Convenience

The Volvo XC90 excels with up to 85.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity, surpassing the Audi Q7's 69.6 cubic feet. Inside, passengers in Rancho Cucamonga will appreciate the XC90's ergonomically designed seats and thoughtful third-row legroom, which the Q7 struggles to match. 

For added convenience, the Volvo XC90 features Keyless Entry and hands-free tailgate operation, making loading and unloading a breeze. It also offers a Bowers & Wilkins high-fidelity audio system with customizable soundscapes like "Concert Hall" and "Jazz Club," providing a luxurious experience that stands above the Q7's audio options. 

The Volvo XC90 includes Google built-in, providing intuitive voice-activated navigation and smart home integration. The Audi Q7 counters with its MMI touch response system, but the XC90's interface is simpler to use and comes standard. Pair this with Volvo's available 360-degree camera and adaptive air suspension for a smoother, smarter ride. 

Performance & Efficiency

Under the hood, the Volvo XC90 offers a variety of powertrain options to suit different driving preferences. The B5 delivers 247 horsepower, while the B6 increases that to 295 horsepower with a 0-60 mph time of 6.4 seconds. For those seeking even more power and speed, the XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid takes performance to the next level with an impressive 455 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of just 5 seconds. 

In comparison, the Audi Q7, equipped with its 335-horsepower V6 engine, accelerates slightly slower than the hybrid XC90 with a time of 5.5 seconds. However, the Q7 falls behind in fuel efficiency, offering a combined 22 MPG compared to the XC90's standard 26 MPG and the hybrid model's remarkable 58 MPGe. 

For drivers in Ontario and beyond, the XC90 not only provides the thrill of speed but also superior efficiency. The XC90 stands out as the clear choice for those who value both performance and savings at the pump.
