What does it cost?
For The Volvo XC90 is a comfortable and practical seven-seat SUV that’s well priced for such a desirable car. It will hold its value well, too.
Against The engine is thirsty, noisy and rather crude, plus the cabin looks its age and some rivals are better to drive.
What Car? says
The Volvo XC90 still looks the part on the outside and it’s a genuine seven-seater, but it feels very dated in some areas.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Volvo XC90 gives you an immense amount of prestigious metal for your money, because it’s well priced and big dealer discounts are available.
There’s only one engine option – a 2.4-litre diesel – but buyers can choose from five trims. Our pick is SE; it’s the second rung on the ladder and comes with lots of luxuries, including Bluetooth, part-leather upholstery and an electrically adjustable driver’s seat.
Like all Volvos, the XC90 is covered by a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty. This is in-line with most SUV rivals, but looks stingy compared with the five-year, unlimited mileage warranty that Hyundai offers on the similarly-priced Santa Fe.

This is a cheap way into an XC90, but we’d be tempted to spend a little more.
