    2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge vs. 2022 Audi Q5 TSFI e: Next-Generation Technology Pulls Ahead

    December 13 2021,

    2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge vs. 2022 Audi Q5 TSFI e: Next-Generation Technology Pulls Ahead

    The 2022 XC60 Recharge represents some of the newest advancements Volvo offers. This plug-in hybrid features a refreshed design, mid-size room, and built-in Google technology that does more than your phone. Whether you are purchasing the XC60 recharge for yourself or your family, it also meets a wide range of other needs. 

    Segment competitors are vying for position, too. Here, we compare the 2022 XC60 Recharge to the Audi Q5 TSFI e. 

    The 2022 XC60 Recharge is a true hybrid

    Volvo's hybrid powertrain features outstanding output for 2022. Each XC60 Recharge features a turbocharged 2.0L gas engine and electric motor that combine to create a true hybrid system. The Volvo XC60 offers longer full electric range.

    The Recharge Inscription and R-Design trims output a combined 405 horsepower, and the Polestar Engineered edition increases output to 420 horsepower. The Audi Q5 TFSI e peaks at 362 horsepower, an expected reduction since an additional electric motor is not used. 

    Although the Q5 TFSI e has a slight advantage in city fuel economy, the XC60 Recharge gains an edge on the highway. Overall, the Recharge's significant power advantage only results in a small .2 L/100km difference in combined fuel consumption when compared to the Q5 TFSI e, too. 

    The 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge goes all-in with Google

    The XC60 Recharge delivers hands-free operation while you drive, and each model integrates Google to make that possible. You won't find this depth of capability with the Audi. Here's more. 

    "Hey Google" initiates a variety of functions. Google Assistant makes it easy to communicate with friends, family, and business associates hands-free on every trip. Navigation is made simple with fully integrated Google Maps, and you can learn about traffic conditions and find re-routing in real-time. 

    Another outstanding feature of the Google-integrated XC60 Recharge is you can connect your favourite apps and devices to work and play more efficiently. Do you want to check on things at home? You can easily connect smart home devices while in the car for peace of mind and convenience.

    It's a great time to experience these and other features for yourself. Come and see the XC60 Recharge today! You can shop for your car online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
