When you buy a new SUV, you're not just purchasing a vehicle, you're making an investment. There's more to an initial price tag on a vehicle than the MSRP; you have to consider what it'll cost to own your SUV in the long run. That's why we took the time to lay out some specifications so you can see for yourself the long-term value of owning a Volvo.
In this case, we took the 2013 Volvo XC60 vs. 2013 Audi Q5. Right away you'll notice that the Volvo XC60 costs less than the Audi Q5. The savings don't stop there though. Five years down the road, the Audi Q5 will cost more in cost per mile, taxes and fees, financing, maintenance and car repairs than the Volvo XC60. Also the Volvo XC60 has better warranties than the Audi Q5. At the end of the line, it just doesn't make sense to pick the Audi Q5 over the Volvo XC60.
