Volvo XC90 D5 Diesel VS Audi Q5 TDi Diesel: Car comparison
Article by Raza Ahmed
Performance:
The Volvo has a smaller engine of the two and its definitely not a sports SUV. Delivering 185bhp, it’s a jump in and go, practical SUV. Its 5-cylinder 2400cc engine is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission delivers un-interrupted torque on tarmac. And so much more home when off-road.

Used Car Review of the Audi Q7
Article by Kaushik Chakraborty
History of the Vehicle:
The Q7 was the first venture by Audi into the full sized 4×4 segment. The vehicle did achieve good enough results. With an attractive badge at the front, comfortably seating seven people and its solid built, the vehicle could tackle rough surfaces in fully loaded positions quite easily. Though the vehicle is best suited for driving on roads, its air-suspension system can lower or raise its height for tackling off-road drives with equal ease. The vehicle looks a bit unsettling when driven at lower speeds, but this goes away once you pick up speed. The vehicle can surprise you with its agility, given its size. It has good grip while taking corners and overall good-enough [...]
