Audi e-tron S vs Volvo EX90: what the numbers mean
Running cost over five years: at the EPA's 15,000-mile-a-year assumption the Volvo EX90 burns about $800 of fuel annually against $1,000 for the Audi e-tron S. That $200 yearly gap compounds to roughly $1,000 over five years and $1,600 over eight — often more than the price difference between two trims of the same vehicle, and the single largest running-cost line item separating these two.

Drivetrain and class: the Audi e-tron S is offered with All-Wheel Drive, the Volvo EX90 with All-Wheel Drive, Rear-Wheel Drive. All-wheel drive typically costs one to two mpg combined against the same vehicle in front- or rear-wheel drive, which is worth remembering when the gap between these two is small.
