Engines

Both luxury SUVs are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The Volvo XC60's B5 AWD gas powertrain generates 247 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. While the Audi Q5 delivers 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, efficiency is somewhat compromised. Q5 models of the previous generation could only produce 201 standard horsepower.
