2026 Volvo Towing Capacity Guide

Volvo makes vehicles that are extremely safe, comfortable, and offer great cargo space. As such, they're popular road trip vehicles. And while not everyone tows a trailer on a road trip, towing capacity is an important piece of information for a popular road trip vehicle. It might even be the deciding factor when choosing between two different Volvo models, and that's why we put together this guide, so you can see at a glance how much you can tow.

Volvo V60 Cross Country Towing Capacity

In addition to the brand's incredible safety record, the Volvo name was built on offering the best wagons in the industry. The V60 carries on that tradition, and the V60 Cross Country adds light off-road capability to the winning formula of Volvo wagons. The B5 drivetrain comes with a mild hybrid system and all-wheel drive as standard features, adding to the stylish utilitarian appeal of the V60 Cross Country. In addition to the massive 60 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seats, the V60 Cross Country has an excellent towing capacity.

Volvo XC40 Towing Capacity

The XC40 shows just how much you can pack into a compact platform. Available all-wheel drive and a robust mild hybrid drivetrain give the XC40 the ability to out-tow not just the competition in the compact segment, but quite a few larger vehicles as well. Interior cargo space is much bigger than you'd expect, and a power tailgate comes standard. And to go with all of that, the XC40 boasts a supremely comfortable interior, complete with all of the high-end materials and sleek Scandinavian design that Volvo is famous for. You just can't beat the bang for your buck that comes with the XC40.

Volvo EX30 Towing Capacity

Most subcompact vehicles aren't rated for towing. Some of this is because many don't offer all-wheel drive, but a lot also don't come with very much power, which is fine if you only need to move a small vehicle around, but becomes a huge problem when you need to tow. The EX30 is no ordinary subcompact though. The electric drivetrain gives it capabilities that other subcompacts lack. In fact, the Twin Motor drivetrain is so powerful that the EX30 has the quickest 0-60 time in the entire history of Volvo road cars. That's why the EX30 easily out-tows a huge cross section of the automotive market.

Volvo XC60 Towing Capacity

The XC60 is mechanically very similar to the S60, but there are some important differences. The first is that, while the S60 is available with front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive is standard on the XC60. The B5 and T8 drivetrains make the same power in the XC60 that they make in the S60, but the XC60 still has a higher towing capacity. Like the S60, the XC60 is available as either a mild hybrid or a plug-in hybrid, with the plug-in hybrid once again coming with some serious power. The XC60 does come with a lot more cargo space though, a maximum of 63.3 cubic feet, quite a lot for the midsize segment.

Volvo EX40 Towing Capacity

There are a few small differences, but overall, the EX40 has the same body as the XC40. That's certainly a good thing, but you might be wondering why Volvo needs two of these models. The answer is that the EX40 is an electric vehicle, with two available drivetrain configurations. The Single Motor drivetrain is standard, and sends power to the rear wheels. Upgrade to the Twin Motor and you get all-wheel drive, along with noticeably more power. The interior is the same one you know and love from the XC40, except you get to enjoy it more, since you don't ever have to stop and get out at a gas station.

Volvo XC90 Towing Capacity

When you need a higher towing capacity and/or more seats, you can't go wrong with the XC90. You'd have a hard time finding a vehicle that has been praised by the automotive press more than the XC90 as well, and it's not hard to see why. The XC90 comes with standard all-wheel drive and a choice of three different drivetrains. Two of these are mild hybrids, while the third is the T8 plug-in hybrid option offered for a number of other models. And even though the XC90 is the biggest vehicle in the Volvo lineup, complete with seating for 7, T8-equipped models will still go from 0 to 60 in just 5 seconds.

Volvo EX90 Towing Capacity

The EX90 is made to fill the same role as the XC90, but is built on a different platform with different drivetrains and different styling. Essentially, the EX90 is the flagship for Volvo's electric models, while the XC90 is the flagship for gasoline-powered models. The EX90 comes with a choice of three impressively powerful electric drivetrains, available all-wheel drive, and the most advanced safety technology on the market. It's easy to be distracted by the 305-mile maximum range, or the shockingly quick 4.0-second 0-60 time, but the EX90 is a technological powerhouse in more than just a couple of areas. It's even a great tow vehicle.
