Audi Q7 vs Volvo EX90
Verdict
The Volvo EX90 is cheaper at RM442,888 versus RM462,272 for the Audi Q7, yet it has more power at 510 hp against 333 hp and is quicker to 100 km/h, 4.9 seconds playing 5.6. The Audi hits back with a 250 km/h top speed, an 85-litre tank and a much larger 770-litre boot. For Malaysia, this is a straight choice between EV punch and warranty cover, or petrol-hybrid range flexibility and luggage space.
Pick the Audi Q7 if you want the bigger boot, higher top speed and the reassurance of an 85-litre petrol-hybrid tank.
Pick the Volvo EX90 if you want full-electric drive, stronger acceleration, longer warranty cover and the lower asking price.
