Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe second-generation XC90 gets its second substantial refresh for the 2025 model year. It’s still offered in Core trim with Plus and Ultra packages and with a choice of mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. However, Volvo has upped the ante. The midsize three-row gets updated styling, materials, and feature offerings, as well as some mechanical tweaks that aim to improve ride comfort and handling. We had the opportunity to experience two powertrains, both in Ultra specification, on a Volvo drive program in Europe. Verdict: The Volvo XC90 was already quite a good vehicle. It’s earned its position as Volvo’s flagship SUV with oft-praised style and substance. For 2025, it has been made even better. | |
