For consumers, buying a luxury mid-size SUV requires not only face but also lining. Comfort and safety are also decisive factors in purchasing a car. So today we will take a look at which of these three popular luxury mid-size SUVs can stand out?
The three cars we compare today are: the 2022 Volvo XC60 B5 four-wheel drive Zhiyuan Sport with a guide price of 425,900 yuan, and the 2022 Cadillac XT5 2.0T light hybrid with a guide price of 402,700 yuan. The 2022 Audi Q5L 40T luxury dynamic model is a premium model with four-wheel drive and a guide price of 415,800 yuan. Although there is a certain gap in the guide prices of these three models, the prices after terminal discounts are relatively close, and they are all models with relatively popular configurations.
Appearance comparison: XC60 Nordic elegance/XT5 American style/Q5L German luxury
The XC60 is an SUV with well-coordinated lines and proportions and a strong overall appearance. The new shape has been optimized in details. For example, the brand LOGO has been changed to a 3D mirror design, and the body length has also been increased by 20mm. At the same time, classic Viking elements such as Thor's hammer headlights and Viking battle ax taillights have also been retained, giving it a distinctive Nordic atmosphere
Cadillac's image as an American luxury brand has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The XT5's angular shape has quite enough aura, continuing the luxurious and majestic design style of American cars. The shield-shaped air intake grille and the sharp tear-eye in-line headlights on both sides form the iconic design that Cadillac has long adhered to.
The overall Q5L still has a rounded and smooth shape, and the details are closer to the latest family-style design. The front face recognition is good and the design style is much younger than the old model. Perhaps many consumers are satisfied with such changes. However, compared to the other two cars, it is obviously much more mediocre. Although overall it is harmonious, it lacks some eye-catching highlights.
Interior comparison: XC60 is atmospheric and simple/XT5 uses solid materials/Q5L is technologically rigorous
The interior of the XC60 still maintains an elegant and simple design style, and the materials used also continue to be of consistently excellent standards. A large area of soft materials is used for wrapping, and leather and stitching are used to enhance the overall luxury of the interior. In addition, all models of the mid-term facelift Volvo XC60 are equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 9-inch vertical central control screen, which is of great help in improving the sense of technology in the car. Moreover, the new XC60 uses the native Android car system, and the experience of getting started is very similar to operating a mobile phone.Similar to previous car-machine systems, its biggest advantage is that its operation response is faster and its functions are more powerful.
The interior of XT5 is rich in layering, and the diamond-cut design language is also well displayed in the car. The center console, door panels, seats, etc. are all wrapped in leather. You can feel a strong American luxury atmosphere when you sit in the car. The atmosphere has its own technological style, and this style is more pleasing to today's young and middle-aged people. 
The interior of the Q5L follows a pragmatic design style, with a simple and refreshing center console and a very prominent sense of hierarchy. The center console is decorated with soft slush molding and stitching, but lacks leather wrapping embellishment. The new car model has canceled the MMI control button and replaced it with a storage compartment. Although it has become more practical, in terms of design, But it seems abrupt and cheap. 
In terms of seats, the XC60 adopts an integrated design of the seat, which is good-looking and more ergonomically designed, and has excellent wrapping capabilities for the occupants. In terms of functions, leg rest adjustment, lumbar support and other functions are all available, and both the main and passenger positions have electric seat memory functions, which is very rare in its class and deserves recognition. The XT5 and Q5L use traditional seats. The XT5 does not have leg rest adjustment, while the Q5L does not even have a main driver memory function. Compared with the XC60, the seat function is indeed slightly better.
- Configuration comparison: All three cars are comprehensive/XC60 driving assistance is more comprehensive
The three vehicles have little difference in mainstream configurations, such as AEB active braking, full-vehicle parking radar, reversing imaging, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, electronic handbrake, automatic parking, keyless entry, and one-button start. Electric tailgate, auto-dimming rearview mirror, remote start, electric seats, heated front seats and in-car navigation, etc. It is easy to meet most of the needs of users and is an excellent performer among its peers. 
The XC60’s native Android car system has great advantages compared to the other two cars. The system contains rich application ecological resource blessings, such as QQ Music, Tencent News, Himalaya, etc., to meet various car use scenarios. The built-in system of AutoNavi is superior in route selection and real-time traffic feedback, just like a mobile phone, and the online map operates independently. Even if a phone is connected during the navigation process, it will not directly affect the navigation operation. In addition, another highlight of the car is that iFlytek's voice control system includes two assistant systems: "Hello Xiaowo" and Alibaba's "Tmall Genie".
Volvo's safety configuration has always been its strong point. The new XC60 has upgraded the City Safety system. A new pedestrian detection system has been added, which can detect pedestrians over 70cm tall. The second upgraded emergency parking assist ESA, when the driverWhen there is no response to the warning, ESA will gradually brake the vehicle and turn on the warning light. During this process, the driver can cancel at any time by grabbing the steering wheel, pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal. The third point is the rear collision warning system + RAB rear automatic braking. Volvo's RAB rear automatic braking uses parking radar to automatically brake when reversing there is a risk of collision.
Power & Chassis Comparison: Both are 2.0T engines/XC60 suspension hidden secrets
All three models use 2.0T engines, but the XC60 is equipped with a more energy-saving and environmentally friendly 2.0T engine + 48V hybrid system power unit with a maximum power of 184kw, which is the most powerful among the three cars. The highlights of Volvo's hybrid system are that, first, it reduces the vibration brought into the cabin when the engine starts and stops, making the engine start and stop as silently as possible. The second is longer engine shutdown time. When the engine is shut down, the 48V system supplies energy to the vehicle's electrical equipment, thereby extending the engine shutdown time and reducing unnecessary idling fuel consumption. 
In terms of suspension, the XC60 adopts a front double wishbone and a rear multi-link independent suspension. The highlight is that the rear shock absorber uses leaf springs instead of metal coil springs. This spring is made of fiber reinforced composite Made of aluminum alloy, it is characterized by its light weight, small space occupation, and long durability. The car also uses more aluminum alloy materials in order to pursue a better control experience.
While the XT5 uses MacPherson independent suspension/rear five-link independent suspension, the Q5L uses five multi-link independent suspensions both front and rear. In contrast, the suspension form of the XC60 has inherent advantages, and the use of leaf springs also destined it to be more technical than the other two cars, so the handling and comfort will definitely be better.
Editor’s comment: After this comparison of the three cars, overall the three cars have their own strengths in overall performance. Cadillac XT5 shows a full American flavor, and Audi Q5L, as a veteran choice, also has very stable product performance. However, in terms of comprehensive evaluation, Volvo XC60 is undoubtedly a good choice in terms of configuration functions, luxurious atmosphere, and brand added value. . In addition, judging from sales volume and consumer reputation, the XC60 has transformed from a niche choice into a mainstream presence.
