Default Q7 vs. XC90

Anyone compare these two before buying? I have an order for a Q7 but test drove a T6 polestar yesterday and I was impressed with the Volvo.

There are plenty of comparisons on here about the 2. Search... bottomline it comes down to preference.

I did the same exact comparison before I settled on the Q7. After a test drive and thorough look at XC90 interior, I dropped it.

Consumer Reports info for the 2 vehicles: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q7-...2908690/page2/

Even with the issues I have with my Q7, I still think it's a better vehicle compared to XC90.

Oops, meant to post this here...

After sitting in the XC90 for 5 minutes, I was concerned with the build quality. 5 more minutes in the Q7 and it wasn't even a question...

This is the longest wait I've had for any German car. Either this thing is sooooo popular, or a factory has burned down and they aren't telling anyone

Your dealer likely didn't have allocation and should have been upfront about that. My car landed in Houston yesterday after a 11/19 order. Should be here next week.

I think this is the case. I got the best deal from them but now i'm considering finding another dealer with an allocation.

haha, plus i'm thinking 2.0T production is probably taking some spots up as well.

Yup, we looked long & hard at both the Q7 and XC90, and it came down to the cost on a lease. For reasons I will probably never understand, the XC90 with a $62K list, the dealer wanted over $1000 per month for 36 months plus $4K drive off.... and they wouldn't budge a dime.

The Q7 with a $66K list, I was able to negotiate down to $725 per month for 36 months with a $500 plus we gave them our 2005 X5 with 115K miles and a bunch of body damage. I valued the X5 at $1500, maybe $2K.
