Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi A8 than the Volvo S60. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Audi A8 and the Volvo S60 in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Audi A8 as you will with the Volvo S60, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi A8 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volvo S60, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Audi A8 is a little wider than the Volvo S60, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Audi A8, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volvo S60.

Handling
The Audi A8 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Volvo S60, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi A8 has a much more powerful engine than the Volvo S60. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Audi A8 does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Volvo S60.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Audi A8 and the Volvo S60.
