The model
Read full Volvo XC90 reviewDespite 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.
The trim
See full equipmentMid-range Plus adds adaptive LED headlights, a sunroof, ambient lighting, a 360-degree parking camera and a Harman Kardon sound system upgrade.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 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.
