Volvo XC90 2.0 B5P [250] Inscription 5dr AWD Gtron Review

Section: Version review

The model
Read full reviewThe Volvo XC90 is a fine luxury SUV that combines a high quality, spacious and versatile interior with plenty of kit and top-notch safety credentials. The Audi Q7 is still a better overall package, though, and don't rule out the Land Rover Defender if you're happy with something slightly more rugged.

See full equipmentBenefits from softer Nappa leather, different 20in alloy wheels to R-Design trim, an electrically adjustable passenger seat, an Orrefors crystal gear lever knob and more illumination throughout the interior. We think there’s more sense in sticking to Momentum trim.
The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level petrol doesn't use a supercharger like the more powerful T6, but it is turbocharged. It has perfectly adequate performance for most situations (it'll hit 0-62mph in a claimed 7.7sec), but you do need to work it quite hard to realise that performance. It is pretty refined when revved, though, but while it'll reach 30mpg driven gently on the motorway, you'll struggle to hit 25mpg around town.
