The model
Read full New Volvo XC90 reviewThe 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.
The trim
