The Volvo XC90 offers contemporary styling blended with innovative technology to create an unmistakable luxury SUV.

What the Critics Say

"One reason we like the XC90 so much is that it's far prettier than any of its competition. It's easy for a three-row crossover to turn out as a dull box, but Volvo's designers manage to drape delicate sheetmetal over the XC90's bones in a way that draws the eye. On this tester, the graceful Denim Blue bodywork contrasts against chrome and brushed-metal accents. Bold lighting elements, with LEDs and the well-known "Thor's Hammer" running lights, also add curb appeal." -- Roadshow by CNET

"After driving the XC90 again, it reminded me of why I fell in love with it initially. The style, the easy-going driving experience and the well implemented safety features still make it a standout in this class - the sum is somehow greater than the parts." -- Cars.com

What's New for 2025.5

Not content to wait for 2026, Volvo has given the XC90 a mid-year update with a number of improvements. The 2025.5 XC90 brings with it a new grille design that we can expect to start seeing on other gas-powered Volvo models, as well as an updated version of the "Thor's Hammer" headlight design. Wheels have been upgraded too, with the standard set now measuring 20 inches, in place of the 19-inch set. Inside, you'll find that the infotainment touchscreen has grown to 11.2 inches, fitting into a redesigned dash. There are new interior material options as well, including premium textiles.

Volvo XC90 Features

Volvo XC90 T8 Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain

Multiple Powertrain Options

The two most popular powertrain options found on the XC90 are the B5 and B6 engines. While the B5 and B6 are each 2.0 Liter 4-Cylinder engines mated to a mild hybrid system, they have different states of tune.

You'll enjoy 247 horsepower from the B5 which is offered in all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard. By comparison, the B6 delivers 295 horsepower, but AWD and 7-passenger seating still comes standard. With the assistance of the mild hybrid system, the XC90 can hit 60 mph in 7.3 seconds with the B5 drivetrain, or 6.4 seconds with the B6. And it can achieve that while delivering 26 mpg** combined with the B5 and 23 with the B6.

Volvo XC90 Interior

Luxurious Interior

Dynamic Scandinavian craftsmanship gives the interior of the XC90 an elegantly stylish look that's both luxurious and functional. A 50/50 split third row delivers best-in-class legroom of 31.9 inches along with up to 85.7 cubic feet of cargo space for all of life's necessities. Open the standard Laminated Panoramic Moonroof with Power Sunshade to fill the cabin with fresh air and natural lighting. A standard 4-Zone Electronic Climate System helps all occupants enjoy the drive in complete comfort.

Volvo XC90 Towing Capacity

Volvo XC90 Towing Capacity

Capable of hauling your biggest toys, the Volvo XC90 delivers a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, perfect for towing a small pop-up camping trailer, a pair of jet skis, or a small boat. Combined with a generous 65.5 cubic feet of cargo space, the XC90 is perfectly prepared for your next adventure. An available air suspension system on all four wheels comes in handy when hitching up a trailer or loading cargo. A simple press of a button inside the cargo area lowers the rear of the vehicle by up to 2 inches, providing easy access to the rear.

Volvo XC90 Safety Features

Advanced Safety

Standard BLIS™ technology supports you when you're changing lanes in busy traffic. It will provide an alert when a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches fast from behind, and the Steer Assist function can gently guide you back into your lane if necessary.
