Comfort
The Volvo S80 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Audi A4 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Volvo S80 and the Audi A4 in the front seats.
Convenience

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 Volvo S80 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Audi A4, which has a much lower MSRP.

For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Volvo S80, which is slightly longer than the Audi A4.
Drivetrain
