As with what you wear, what you drive says a lot about your style. Of course, style is more than what’s presented in outward appearance. This form of personal expression reflects your values, choices, and intentions—and the Volvo XC90’s understated elegance, inside and out, speaks volumes without having to shout.
Like its siblings in the Volvo lineup, the XC90 features a contemporary yet timeless design marked by Volvo’s signature clean lines. Its sophisticated simplicity commands attention without being flamboyant.
For the latest model year, the Volvo XC90 sports:
- New front fascia
- Updated bumper and fenders
- Streamlined headlights
- Sculpted hood
Simply put, the XC90 continues to evolve while remaining the epitome of understated elegance.
Elegant metallic and shimmering pearl paints in muted yet distinctive shades reflect stately sophistication. With a variety of 20-inch to 22-inch wheels in Silver alloy or Black Diamond Cut, you can further enhance the design of your Volvo.
After a day of conducting meetings, handling school drop-offs, and running errands to benefit your family, you deserve a respite. Entering the clean, serene cabin of the Volvo XC90 offers that sense of calm. The spa-like environment perfectly translates to Volvo's Scandinavian ethos: It’s designed with everything you need and nothing you don’t.
Like a well-tailored suit, the grained charcoal dashboard fits the XC90 flawlessly. Nappa leather is available, while its seats are standardly enrobed in quilted Nordico, a synthetic leather crafted from recycled materials and bio-attributed matter from responsibly managed forests in Sweden and Finland. Meanwhile, the panoramic roof further lightens the cabin and makes it feel even more spacious.
Your days are fast-paced and spent juggling various commitments. You need a luxury SUV that can keep up and seamlessly transition from professional obligations to personal time. The Volvo XC90 is that vehicle. Its balance of performance and fuel efficiency works harmoniously for optimal functionality and provides an elevated driving experience.
Volvo is known for its long-term reliability and for building vehicles that can go the distance. Dependable performance starts with well-engineered powertrains, and with the Volvo XC90, you have your choice of two mild hybrid gasoline engines.
Engine | Horsepower | Torque |
---|---|---|
B5 | 247 HP | 266 lb-ft |
B6 | 295 HP | 310 lb-ft |
Both variants come standard with all-wheel drive for better traction and control in all types of conditions. Meanwhile, its mild hybrid technology provides an instant start, and its available air suspension system helps smooth out road imperfections for comfortable handling and a relaxed ride.
You take pride in being efficient in all aspects of your daily routine. It’s something you demand of yourself, appreciate in others, and desire in your automobile. With its mild hybrid system that mates a gas engine with an electric motor, the Volvo XC90 reduces fuel consumption and lowers emissions.
Regenerative braking captures and stores energy, while the integrated starter generator reduces engine load and boosts the engine for greater acceleration. The gas engine and the mild hybrid battery yield an EPA-estimated 23 city/30 highway MPG*.
Like the high level of engagement you bring to your professional and personal life, you want intuitive technology to simplify your life. From infotainment to driver assistance, the Volvo XC90 integrates various smart tech systems that will keep you and everyone on board connected and protected.
Maintaining connections is vital to all relationships—even more important when you’re on the go—which is why in-vehicle communication technology is no longer a luxury but a prerequisite. The Volvo XC90 makes it easy to contact the office, reserve a table or tee time, navigate to an off-site client meeting, or inform your family that you’re on your way home. Among its many standard connectivity features are:
- Apple CarPlay®
- Wireless charging pad
- Built-in Google: Google Assistant, Google Maps, Google Play
- 11.2-inch portrait-format touchscreen
Entertainment makes every ride more enjoyable, whether catching up on the latest audiobook, streaming your favorite podcast, playing an energizing road trip soundtrack, or reclaiming your Zen by chilling to lo-fi. The Volvo XC90 offers three audio systems, from the standard 10-speaker High Performance system to the Bowers & Wilkins high fidelity audio system with 19 speakers and 1,410 watts for a fully immersive listening experience.
The security of your family is a top priority whenever you take the wheel, especially when you have your most precious cargo on board. Volvo is renowned for its emphasis on safety, as evidenced by its crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The NHTSA awarded the Volvo XC90 a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, its highest honor. Likewise, the IIHS named the Volvo XC90 a 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+.
Thanks to its suite of advanced driver-assistance features, you’ll have additional peace of mind regardless of what you may encounter on those unpredictable roadways:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- BLIS™ (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross Traffic Alert
- Oncoming Lane Mitigation/Lane Keeping Aid
- Park Assist, rear and front
- Road Sign Information and more!
Meanwhile, the Intelligent Driver Information System helps keep a vigilant, protective watch over you. It monitors driving behavior to ensure your safety when it detects hard steering, braking, or acceleration that might indicate cause for alarm.
When looking for a luxury SUV with seating for up to seven, two viable options are the Volvo XC90 and the Audi Q7. Upon closer inspection, one model simply has more to offer. In this scenario, that would be the Volvo, which proves it’s both large and in charge.

As two mild hybrid SUVs, the Volvo XC90 and the BMW X5 have many similarities. While it’s easy to love BMW’s variety of trim levels and performance-oriented powertrains, it’s the XC90's standard equipment that helps you remember what you need and what’s most important.
