Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi Q8 than in the Volvo EX30. The Volvo EX30 will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q8.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi Q8 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volvo EX30, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Audi Q8 is much wider than the Volvo EX30, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Audi Q8, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volvo EX30.

Handling
The Audi Q8 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Volvo EX30, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi Q8 has a lot less horsepower than the Volvo EX30.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Audi Q8 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volvo EX30.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Audi Q8 and the Volvo EX30. With the Audi Q8, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Volvo EX30.
