Volvo XC90 Recharge vs. Audi Q7 and BMW X7: Which 7-Seat SUV Wins in Pittston, PA
Even if you drive a luxury vehicle, fuel economy matters for modern drivers. Volvo has pledged to make sustainable vehicles that offer plush Scandinavian luxury while using less gasoline. The new Volvo XC90 Recharge is our flagship luxury SUV, offering a blend of refined Swedish design, pioneering technology, and incredible efficiency. Competing SUVs like the Audi Q7 and BMW X7 are also well-built, but they can't match the well-rounded excellence of the Volvo XC90 Recharge. At Ken Pollock Volvo Cars in Pittston, PA, we created the following comparisons to help you see its superiority for yourself.

Performance
Volvo XC90 Recharge
The new Volvo XC90 Recharge delivers all the power you need for merging onto highways around Scranton while helping you save at the fuel pump. Its plug-in hybrid T8 engine generates 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque, yet it earns an EPA-estimated 27 MPG. Commuters will appreciate that the Volvo XC90 Recharge can go 32 to 33 miles* on electric power only. (*Estimated full-electric range depends on factors such as vehicle upkeep, traffic encountered, and driving style.)
Audi Q7
The Audi Q7's strongest engine only produces 335 horsepower. Since it's not a plug-in hybrid powertrain, the highest gas mileage you can expect is 22 mpg combined.
BMW X7
The BMW X7 makes 375 horsepower with its standard in-line 6 engine. An available turbocharged V8 in the high-performance M60i delivers 523 horsepower. However, neither of these powertrains are plug-in hybrids, so the X7's best fuel economy ratings are just 23 mpg combined for the base engine.
Interior
Volvo XC90 Recharge
The new Volvo XC90 Recharge has an opulent yet uncluttered interior with supportive, power-adjustable seats. A standard Crystal Orrefors gear shift knob and available open-pore wood trim add a touch of elegance. Wilkes-Barre drivers can fit all their home improvement items in the back of the Volvo XC90 Recharge, which has over 85 cubic feet of cargo space with all its rear seats folded down.
Audi Q7
The Audi Q7 has an attractive cabin with top-notch materials. However, it only has 68.1 cubic feet of storage room with all the back seats folded.
BMW X7
The BMW X7 has a bit more cargo space than the Volvo XC90 Recharge, with 90.4 cubic feet of room when the rear seats are folded. However, the X7 is more conservatively styled, and its base model lacks flourishes like the crystal shifter.
Technology
Volvo XC90 Recharge
Staying entertained on long trips from Pittston, PA is easy in the new Volvo XC90 Recharge. Its Google-based infotainment system comes with an 11.2-inch touchscreen, Google Maps, and the Google Assistant for effortless operation on the go.
Audi Q7
The Audi Q7's standard infotainment touchscreen is only 10.1 inches long, and its displays can be challenging to operate while driving
BMW X7
The BMW X7's infotainment touchscreen is 14.9 inches long. Unfortunately, the interface isn't very intuitive. It often requires several taps into multiple menus to access a desired function or feature.
Safety
Volvo was founded on safety, and the brand continues its legacy of safe vehicles with the latest Volvo XC90 Recharge. Seven driver assistance features are standard, including a Road Sign Information (RSI) system that uses the front camera and onboard map data to identify speed limits and traffic signs, displaying them clearly on the driver instrument panel. This helps ensure you won't miss a critical traffic warning while you're cruising through Scranton.
Audi Q7
The Audi Q7 only comes with six standard driver aids.
BMW X7
The BMW X7 comes standard with seven advanced active safety features, but a traffic sign reader is not among them.
