The 2022 V40 Cross Country and the 2022 Audi A6 Avant are two great options in the class of luxury mid-size SUVs. They both offer you a ton of standard features, and they both come in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations. While similar on paper, there are significant differences between these two models that you should consider when deciding which one to buy. Let's dive into these differences so you can make an informed decision about which car best suits your needs.

Design & Style

  • Exterior Design

If you want a class-leading exterior, then look no further than the 2022 V40 Cross Country and 2022 Audi A6 Avant. With light aluminum body structure and unparalleled dynamic design, these two are easily ahead of their competitors. Both automakers have also used bold lines on their models to showcase every subtle change in format from front to back. This bold line is a signature element that separates these two from others in their category. These two are both very much aligned with their parent company's vehicles in terms of brand identity. It's clear by looking at them side-by-side that there are many similarities between them.

  • Interior Design

The 2022 V40 comes with a good amount of space inside and a unique interior design. With fresh new colors, sleek interior design, and a modern feel, you won't be disappointed when looking at things on your own time. The seats are made with comfort in mind, which you'll notice immediately once you get inside. There is plenty of room for both passengers and drivers alike; no one will have to sacrifice for anything else if they don't want to! 

Technology & Safety

These vehicles are outfitted with several modern technologies to help keep drivers and passengers safe. These include autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, lane departure warning systems, blind-spot monitoring, and more. All of these features can be found on both models and help set them apart from other similar options available in 2022's automotive market (which is already jam-packed). 

Performance

The 2-liter turbocharged engine in 2022 V40 Cross Country produces 295 hp (150 kW) and 310 lb·ft (359 N·m) of torque at 2,100 pm. The engine is a close relative to Volvo's Drive-E family of engines; it even uses an aluminum cylinder block designed using techniques borrowed from Ford's EcoBoost program. Compared to its competition, it falls in line with other luxury compact SUVs on paper.

The Audi A6 Avant E-Tron gas engine is a powerful 4-cylinder, turbocharged, 2.0 liter that packs 325 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque under its hood; it's also EPA certified to be as fuel-efficient as its TFSI counterpart at 33 mpg in highway driving and 22 mpg in city driving, with an electric range of 34 miles on a full charge.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that neither car loses out in terms of features, performance, or comfort. Both vehicles have a lot to offer, and neither takes a backseat when it comes to technology and safety. It's tough to pick a winner here, as it really boils down to your personal preferences (and budget). But if we had to choose one, we would give our vote for 2022 V40 Cross Country for overall better performance and fuel efficiency and better customer service from dealerships.
