Despite being long in the tooth, the Volvo XC90 is a fine seven-seat SUV that combines a high quality and versatile interior with plenty of kit and impressive safety credentials. The Audi Q7, BMW X7 and Land Rover Defender 110 are all better all-rounders, but then they cost more. Go for the B5 petrol in entry-level Core trim if you want the best value for money.

This entry-level model comes with all the kit you need, including 19in alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, a powered driver’s seat, heated front and rear seats, four-zone climate control, a 12.3in digital instrument panel and a 9.0in touchscreen infotainment system.

The entry-level B5 petrol can manage 0-62mph in a respectable 7.7 seconds, although it needs to be worked quite hard to achieve that. The more powerful B6 might sound tempting, but we don’t think it’s worth the financial hit.
