 Shopping a luxury AWD SUV around Lodi usually means balancing three things: budget, mileage, and how much space you actually need. Right now at A&W Auto & Truck Wholesalers, there are three premium SUV choices under $21,000 that hit different buyers: a 2019 Audi Q7 Premium Plus 55 TFSI quattro at $15,997 with 93,268 miles, a 2021 BMW X5 xDrive40i at $20,997 with 147,702 miles, and a 2019 Volvo XC60 T6 AWD Momentum at $12,999 with 113,642 miles. All three are AWD sport utility vehicles, but they are not the same kind of buy.

Audi Q7: three-row luxury with the lowest mileage here

The Audi Q7 is the one to start with if you need three rows. This 2019 Q7 Premium Plus 55 TFSI quattro is listed at $15,997 with 93,268 miles. It has a Carrara White exterior, automatic transmission, AWD, and a 3.0-liter V6. For a North Jersey family, the big point is simple: it gives you luxury SUV comfort and extra seating without moving into a $25K to $35K price range. The mileage is also the lowest of the three vehicles in this comparison, which matters when someone wants premium features but still wants the numbers to feel reasonable.

The Q7 makes sense for buyers who carry kids, relatives, clients, or gear and do not want to give up the premium feel. It is larger than the XC60 and has a different mission than the BMW X5. If your daily routine includes school runs, weekend trips, or needing the third row once in a while, this Audi is the practical luxury pick of the group. As always with a used luxury SUV, the smart move is to look closely at condition, tires, brakes, service history, and how it drives on a real test drive.

BMW X5: newest model year and modern premium feel

The BMW X5 is the newest vehicle here: a 2021 X5 xDrive40i Sports Activity Vehicle listed at $20,997 with 147,702 miles. It has a Dark Graphite Metallic exterior, automatic transmission, AWD, and a 3.0-liter straight-six engine with gasoline/mild electric hybrid setup. The mileage is the highest in this group, but the model year and driving feel are the reasons a shopper would look at it. BMW’s X5 is built for someone who wants a sharper, more modern luxury SUV experience and is comfortable judging value by condition, equipment, and road feel, not mileage alone.

For commuters from Lodi to Hackensack, Teaneck, Passaic, or across Bergen County, the X5 can be the one that feels the most current from behind the wheel. It is priced just under $21K, so it sits at the top of this comparison. The right buyer is someone who wants the newer body style and BMW feel, and who is ready to inspect it carefully because 147,702 miles is a real number. If it checks out in person, the value is getting into a 2021 luxury AWD SUV for used-sedan money compared with many newer premium SUVs.

Volvo XC60: lowest price and easier daily size

The Volvo XC60 is the budget-friendly premium option. This 2019 XC60 T6 AWD Momentum is listed at $12,999 with 113,642 miles. It has a Pine Grey Metallic exterior, automatic transmission, AWD, and a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. Compared with the Audi and BMW, the Volvo is smaller and more manageable around town, but it still gives you a premium cabin feel and AWD confidence for wet roads and winter mornings.

The XC60 is a strong fit for someone who does not need three rows and does not want to spend near $21K. At $12,999, it leaves the most room in the budget while still putting you in a 2019 luxury-brand SUV. It is the easiest one to recommend for a single driver, couple, or small family that wants comfort, safety-minded design, and a smaller footprint for parking around Lodi, Garfield, or Hackensack.

Which luxury AWD SUV should you test drive first?

So which one should you test drive first? Start with the Audi Q7 if you need three rows, lower mileage in this group, and a luxury family SUV under $16K. Start with the BMW X5 if you want the newest model year and the most modern premium driving feel, and you are comfortable with higher mileage. Start with the Volvo XC60 if you want the lowest price and an easier-size AWD luxury SUV. All three are available through A&W Auto & Truck Wholesalers at 23 US-46 West, Lodi, NJ 07644.
