Volvo of Fort Myers Compair the Volvo XC60 against the Q5

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Myers, Florida, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) June 2, 2011 -- When directly comparing the Volvo XC60 T6 and Audi Q5, you’ll see why the Volvo is the perfect fit for style-conscious buyers on the hunt for an extraordinary vehicle with plenty of safety and substance.

Against the Q5, the 2011 Volvo XC60 T6 offers plenty of advantages. To start, the XC60 T6's standard MSRP, at $38,400, is a whopping $4,100 below the Q5’s asking price of $42,500. Included in Volvo’s price is Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance for the first five years or 60,000 miles. Audi offers only one year or 5,000 miles of coverage.

The XC60 T6 offers more horsepower than the Q5, too. The XC60’s 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder spins out 300 turbocharged hp, and the full 325 lb/ft of torque is available from a low 2,100 rpm. The Q5, with its 3.2-liter V6, is shy of the XC60 T6's brawn by 30 hp and 82 lb/ft. Volvo's long experience with turbocharging makes the XC60 T6's engine flexible, and instead of requiring pricey Premium fuel like the Q5, the Volvo takes it easy on your wallet by requiring only Regular fuel.

All-wheel drive is standard in both vehicles, but the XC60’s 9.1 inches of ground clearance is 1.2 inches more than the Q5's 7.9 inches. That's a difference that can mean driving out of the woods instead of walking. More comfort on the drive is another XC60 advantage; there's more front and rear headroom in the XC60, and front-seat passengers have more legroom as well.

The XC60's standard HD Radio delivers crystal-clear sound while Audi doesn't offer you the option on the Q5. A standard Panoramic moonroof keeps the Volvo's interior feeling open and airy, too. There is a panoramic roof available for Q5 buyers, but it's not made of the safety- and serenity-enhancing laminated glass that the Volvo roof is.

Safety being Volvo's calling card, the XC60 T6 demolishes competitors by offering one of the most comprehensive suites of driver aids and protection technologies you'll find on any vehicle, regardless of price. The XC60 is the first vehicle in the world to offer Volvo's City Safety System, which can detect and avoid collisions, and the T6 carries it as standard equipment. Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake, Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist, Rear Park Assist Camera, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, Lane Departure Warning, Driver Alert Control and Blind Spot Information System are offered on the XC60, too, offering an unmatchable suite of technology. Trailer Stability Assist aids drivers that tow, and while the XC60 T6 offers it, the Q5 does not. Other XC60® features you won’t find on the Q5 include dual integrated two-stage child booster seats (a Volvo exclusive), front seat WHIPS whiplash protection (another Volvo exclusive) and front and rear park assist.

Standard Bluetooth® phone integration indicates that Volvo thinks driver distraction should be universally reduced. Audi makes Bluetooth an option. Only the XC60 offers the Intelligent Driver Information System, specifically designed to reduce distraction as well.

The 2011 Volvo XC60 T6 is not just the obvious choice, it’s the smart one, especially compared to the Audi Q5. The Volvo is strikingly styled, more luxurious, more powerful and less expensive. The XC60 T6 offers buyers a lot of gain in the premium crossover arena without extracting any pain.
