Our team compares the new Volvo XC40 against one of its top rivals, the 2024 Audi Q3, to show you why our luxury SUV model is the best choice.
Performance & Capabilities
Every 2024 Volvo XC40 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 247 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard to provide exceptional grip, traction, and handling. The Audi Q3 also offers standard all-wheel drive, but neither of its two available engine options matches the power and capabilities of the Volvo XC40 with a base turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that tops out at 228 horsepower. The Volvo XC40 is faster and more agile, with acceleration from zero to 60mph in 6.1 seconds, more than a second faster than the Audi Q3's 7.3-second rating.

Luxury Comforts & Design
The Volvo XC40 and Audi Q3 offer similar luxuries and comforts. On the exterior, both sport 18-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, deep-tinted rear privacy glass, and standard roof rails. You'll find a different take on luxury inside the upscale Volvo XC40. Traditionally, Volvo vehicles have boasted minimalist interiors, but the newest models come with whimsical touches, like the slim, concentric rectangular air vents with chrome details, driftwood trim, and a crystal shift knob on the upper trims. Modern design touches pair seamlessly with the high-end materials and amenities. While the design features may come down to personal taste, real practical features, like larger cargo capacity, make the Volvo XC40 the better choice.
Advanced Technology
The Volvo XC40 comes with many standard technology features, starting with a 9-inch center infotainment system where controls for entertainment, climate, and vehicle functions are readily available. The tech-forward dash also features a 12-inch digital instrument cluster that is highly customizable. The Audi Q3 comes with a smaller 9-inch instrument cluster, a slightly larger infotainment touchscreen, and similar safety features like automatic emergency braking, but only the Volvo XC40 is sophisticated enough to provide semi-autonomous driving.
