"Driving the 2022 Volvo XC90 is a serene experience." - Kelley Blue Book
The 2022 Volvo XC90 offers a 2.0L I-4 engine that has two different power curves but couples with the same 8-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is available with T5 trim pushing out 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. While, the twin-charged version of that engine is hosted inside the T6 configuration that can belt out 316 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
Speaking of the platform, the Volvo XC90 2022 features both FWD and AWD layouts. However, the FWD remains exclusive to the XC90 2022 T5 Momentum that upgrades to AWD after spending an extra $2,500. That being said, its off-road maneuvering is further assisted by its inherent long suspension travel. And, the aluminum double-wishbone complements the road holding performance and steering characteristics.
In terms of performance, the Volvo XC90 does the 0-60 MPH in 7.5 seconds while the quarter-mile run ticks 15.7 seconds, in its base configuration. The 2.0L twin-charged engine does the same 0-60 sprint in 6.1 seconds. As far as towing is concerned, the rated capacity stays at 5,000 lbs for both powertrains. On the contrary, the 13.6-inch front and 12.6-inch rear disc brakes limit the surge along with Brake Assist and 4-wheel ABS.

New steering responsive headlights improve the safety of the 2021 Volvo XC90
While both the SUVs are priced similarly for the AWD drivetrain, the MDX gets a more powerful naturally aspirated engine which makes it the quicker of the two. Both offer similar towing capabilities, but the XC90 offers better fuel efficiency figures thanks to its turbocharged engine. The Volvo is more spacious in the third row, while, the MDX offers more room in the front two rows and the trunk. However, it is that better safety and more standard technology which makes the XC90 the preferred choice.
The Audi Q7 is one of the most VFM propositions in the segment today. It offers a lot of space on the inside and comes with a tried and tested drivetrain too. However, all this performance comes at the cost of fuel efficiency. The Volvo, on the other hand, is the better SUV in terms of looks and has certainly got a clear edge over the Audi on the safety front, thereby, settles the score betwen them.
2022 Volvo XC90 vs 2022 Lexus RX 350L
