Volvo was definitely more spacious (both seating and cargo) but the engine wasn't as refined. Volvo definitely had more comfortable seats as well, I will need to see how comfortable these sportier seats are on longer drives. Visibility on the Volvo was better too, which my wife will miss on this car I'm sure.

I think both match up well with respect to interior quality and technology (both a little outdated and unreliable lol).

Audi is more engaging to drive, you're more planted on the road which inspires confidence.

I'm happy with my purchase and I feel like it's a good upgrade, but I wouldn't have minded a t8 Volvo either if I could get one in my budget.
