Volvo XC60 2013 vs Toyota RAV4 2015
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Manual/Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.4 Diesel | 2.5 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Volvo XC60) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota RAV4) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

Volvo XC60 2013: This Volvo has Haldex Generation V proactive automatic four-wheel drive. It analyzes input from the ABS and engine control units and can increase pressure on the multi-disc clutch for faster application when needed. During normal driving, the torque split is 100% to the front and no torque to the rear. If wheel spin is detected, torque can be split evenly between the axles (50% to 50%). Toyota RAV4 2015: It has proactive automatic four-wheel drive with Auto, Lock and Sport modes. In Auto mode, the car has front-wheel drive under normal conditions. If wheel slip is detected, torque is transferred to the rear wheels via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. In Sport mode, torque is transferred almost instantly between the front and rear wheels to enhance cornering performance by sending up to 50 percent of engine power to the rear wheels. Lock mode can be activated when driving below 40 km/h (25 mph) and provides constant four-wheel drive. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 230 mm (9.1 inches) | 177 mm (7 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Volvo XC60 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||

Volvo XC60 is larger. Volvo XC60 is 4 cm longer than the Toyota RAV4, 5 cm wider, while the height of Volvo XC60 is 4 cm higher. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 495 litres | 501 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
1455 litres | 1633 litres | |
| Despite its longer length, Volvo XC60 has 6 litres less trunk space than the Toyota RAV4. This could mean that the Volvo XC60 uses more space in the cabin, so the driver and passengers could be more spacious and comfortable.
