Volvo XC90 2002 vs Porsche Cayenne 2002
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.4 Diesel | 4.5 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Volvo XC90) 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 (Porsche Cayenne) 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." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 163 HP | 340 HP | |
| Torque: | 340 NM | 420 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 12 seconds | 7.2 seconds | |
|
Porsche Cayenne is a more dynamic driving. Volvo XC90 engine produces 177 HP less power than Porsche Cayenne, whereas torque is 80 NM less than Porsche Cayenne. Due to the lower power, Volvo XC90 reaches 100 km/h speed 4.8 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 9.1 | 14.9 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 9.3 l/100km | 16.0 l/100km | |
|
The Volvo XC90 is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Volvo XC90 consumes 5.8 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Porsche Cayenne, which means that by driving the Volvo XC90 over 15,000 km in a year you can save 870 litres of fuel.

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 560'000 km | 300'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Volvo XC90 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 5 years | 5 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 6 other car models, including Volvo V70, Volvo S80, Volvo S60, Volvo XC70, Volvo C30 | Used only for this car | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Volvo XC90 might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
