2023 Audi Q3 vs. 2023 Volvo XC40

2023 Audi Q3

vs 2023 Volvo XC40 in Greenville, SC

Searching for the perfect luxury SUV that provides plentiful cargo space but doesn't sacrifice style? Look no further than the new 2023 Audi Q3. Its wide stance and sweeping lines make it a standout in any crowd, especially when equipped with the S line® appearance package. Standard on the Audi Q3 45 TFSI®, the S line® design includes several exterior upgrades, like a side fender badge, S line® side sills and S line® bumpers. Dramatic LED headlights and dynamic LED tail lights illuminate the road ahead for a premium final touch. But don't worry — its distinct German style doesn't distract from what you need to get through the week. Practical convenience features, such as a power tailgate, an optional keyless entry system known as Audi Advanced Key (which also allow you to start and stop your vehicle remotely) and aluminum roof rails, make life that much easier. Its split-folding 40/20/40 rear seatbacks can be folded down to reveal 48 cubic feet of storage capacity or folded up to include three additional backseat passengers in your travels. Need more? Cargo nets, under-seat storage compartments and luggage area lighting are all included. The new 2023 Audi Q3 truly has it all.

Not if the new 2023 Volvo XC40 has anything to say about it. If you've come across the Volvo XC40 in your car search, take a look at the table below. We've compared a few features of the two SUVs that we're sure you'll want to see for yourself.

Are you seeing what we're seeing? It appears that the new 2023 Audi Q3 is the champion in this race. While the new 2023 Volvo XC40 has many admirable qualities, performance, convenience and safety aren't its strong suites. Let's start with the drivetrain. An SUV without standard all-wheel drive is like, well, a fish out of water. The Audi Q3 dominates the road with its classic quattro® all-wheel drive system, while those driving in their Volvo XC40 front-wheel-drive-only models will merely stare with envy. Moving on to the interiors of these vehicles, the disparity only widens. Both SUVs provide space for five total passengers and standard heated front seats, but only the Audi Q3 has a standard power panoramic sunroof and a tri-zone automatic climate control system. Only on higher (and more expensive) trims of the Volvo XC40 will you find a power panoramic moonroof and dual-zone automatic climate control (which is still one zone less than that of the Audi Q3). The difference between the available audio systems is also marked, so we'll sum it up: Receive two additional speakers, four channels and 80 watts of power with the Sonos® Premium Sound System with 3D sound, available only on the Audi Q3.

We didn't even touch on the division that Audi pre sense® basic makes — but maybe you'll have time to hear about it in person. After all, we're sure you're on your way to our dealership to test-drive the new 2023 Audi Q3. We'll start the engine for you.
