Find your perfect XC90

Cars available now

The Volvo XC90’s 2024 updates have successfully addressed some issues, and its quieter and more comfortable than before, while its infotainment system has gone from one of its biggest flaws to a firm strength. Some rivals remain a bit more well rounded, but if you go for a B5 petrol in entry-level Core trim, you’ve got yourself a great luxury seven-seater for a reasonable price.

Upgrading to mid-spec Plus is tempting to get air suspension, but it does demand a considerable price premium. For that you also get a panoramic roof, a Harman Kardon sound system, ambient interior lighting and sun blinds on the rear side windows.

With its 0-62mph time of 5.4sec, the T8 plug-in hybrid is quick, and it can officially travel up to 44 miles on electric power alone. It's the best choice if you'll be running an XC90 as a company car.
