2021 Volvo S90 vs. 2021 Audi A7

The 2021 Audi A7 has received praise for its refined exterior and interior, as well as its quick acceleration and sleek profile. What happens when it goes up against the 2021 Volvo S90, an extravagant vehicle with cutting edge technology, outstanding fuel efficiency and formidable performance?

Design & Style

The S90 is a true Scandinavian gem, and is the most powerful sedan to be offered by Volvo. It manifests a unique personality which separates it even from its European rivals, not to mention the rest of the world. Whereas other automakers prioritize power and handling, the engineers at Volvo instead prioritized serenity and comfort, while still displaying rocket level performance when needed. The front bumper in the latest edition has been revised, along with the fog lights, wheels and spoiler, and all of them look fantastic.

The Audi A7 is part sedan and part hatchback, with a frame that is smooth and sleek. It has a turbocharged powertrain which offers serious performance along with traction that excels in every season. Those that purchase the Convenience package will gain access to a camera system with top view while the Premium Plus offers standardized cruise control that is adaptive.

Technology & Safety

The Audi A7 is outfitted with a variety of new generation driver assistance, which includes stop and go tech with emergency automatic brakes, frontal collision alerts and night vision. Drivers will also have access to blind area monitoring, alerts for cross traffic in back and lane management. Luxuries within the cabin consist of climate control which covers three zones, panoramic sunroof, leather seats that can be heated, wifi and an infotainment system that includes dual screens.

The Volvo S90 is equipped with the entire safety and driver assistance tech seen in the A7, including frontal impact alerts, cruise control that is adaptive, automated emergency brakes and lane management. Its luxury features include nine inch touch displays, open pore style wood, brushed metallic surfaces and authentic leather. The seats can be power adjusted fourteen different ways and climate control is also available along with the option of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Performance

As Volvo's most powerful sedan, the S90 doesn't mess around when it comes to performance. Those that go all out and purchase the T8 will get an engine that is capable of generating 400 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 4.5 seconds. The most powerful Audi A7 is only capable of generating 362 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

While the Audi A7 is certainly impressive, it doesn't offer enough to beat the Volvo S90, which has far superior horsepower and performance.
