When it comes to luxury compact SUVs, the 2025 Volvo XC40 and 2025 Audi Q3 are standout choices. Each brings its unique strengths to the table, appealing to Waterloo drivers seeking style, performance, and comfort. Let’s dive into what sets them apart.
The Volvo XC40 features a hybrid 2.0-litre engine delivering 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, it offers smooth handling with a combined fuel efficiency of 9.0 L/100 km. Perfect for longer journeys, its 54-litre fuel tank supports a range of around 600 km.
The Audi Q3, meanwhile, provides two engine options. The 40 TFSI produces 184 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque, while the 45 TFSI ups the ante to 228 hp and 258 lb-ft. Both trims feature an 8-speed automatic and Audi’s Quattro AWD. Fuel efficiency is slightly less favourable, with the 45 TFSI achieving a combined 10.2 L/100 km.
Volvo’s XC40 interior boasts Scandinavian minimalism, with a tablet-style infotainment system and premium materials. While visually stunning, the lack of physical buttons for HVAC controls may take some adjustment. Its cargo space offers 578 litres with the rear seats up, expanding to 1,328 litres with them folded.
The Audi Q3 leans heavily into advanced technology. Its Virtual Cockpit includes a reconfigurable 12.3-inch digital driver display (on higher trims) paired with a 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen. Rear passengers will appreciate the adjustable 40/20/40 split rear seats, with cargo ranging from 671 to 1,359 litres.
Safety is a cornerstone of both SUVs. The Volvo XC40 is engineered with an ACE™ structure, offering top IIHS safety ratings. Driver aids include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and emergency braking.
The Audi Q3 matches this with its Audi Pre Sense® suite, offering forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control on higher trims. Both vehicles excel in safety, providing peace of mind for Ontario’s unpredictable roads.
