Under the hood, the Volvo XC60 and Audi Q5 both have impressive engines. Thrill-seekers and commuters alike will appreciate the peppy handling they get with the standard 2.0L turbocharged I-4 engines under the hood of either of these SUVs.
Even though the Volvo delivers more all-around power than the Audi, both SUVs can still help you traverse those hilly and rain-slicked roadways with all-wheel drive (AWD) systems.
The Volvo XC60 takes things to the next level, however, with its available 2.0L turbocharged and supercharged mild hybrid 4-cylinder. Unfortunately, the Audi doesn't offer a supercharged option. Here's how these two luxury vehicles compare in terms of performance.

The Volvo XC60 and Audi Q5 provide craftsmanship at every turn. You can look forward to the highest-quality features in either SUV, including leather upholstery, hands-free smartphone connectivity, and power memory front seats.
However, the interior of the Volvo XC60 may be brighter with a standard open-and-tilt panoramic roof that lets you enjoy a fresh breeze. Plus, if your hands are full, the standard hands-free power tailgate makes it easy to open the trunk of your Volvo XC60. This feature is available on the Audi Q5, but only with a package upgrade.
Speaking of cargo, let's see what each of these SUVs offers in terms of cargo volume:
- Volvo XC60 maximum cargo volume: 63.3 cubic feet
- Audi Q5 maximum cargo volume: 54 cubic feet
As you can see, the Volvo XC60 has an impressive maximum cargo capacity of 63.3 cubic feet. You can easily store groceries, luggage, or gear. The Audi Q5 only has a maximum cargo capacity of 54 cubic feet. When it comes to interior options and cargo space, it's no contest: The Volvo XC60 is the clear winner.
Luxury SUVs are so much more than eye-candy - both of these powertrains prove it! If you’re heading out to your lake house or to the beach, both the XC60 and the Q5 are up to the task of towing your boat or jet skis.
Though it churns up a decent amount of torque with its top powertrain, the Audi Q5 can only tow up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. While that may be enough to tow a rowboat, it won’t be enough to haul heavier items.
The XC60 on the other hand? It can tow as much as 3,500 pounds when properly equipped! You can carry your fishing boat, a pop-up trailer, and so much more!
