As with many vehicles in this tallish class, the Volvo leans noticeably around curves, but its steering responses are accurate and the wheel has a pleasing heft that splits the difference between feather-light and heavyweight. The T8 Recharge shot to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds at our test track. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission come with every XC90, no matter the trim level or powertrain. The 455-hp T8 plug-in-hybrid XC90 Recharge is not only the most powerful of the group but also the most efficient with an EPA-rated 66 MPGe.

Moving up to the B6 powertrain, available on Plus and standard on Ultimate trim levels, increases output to 295 horsepower. Although a fully-electric XC90 doesn’t exist yet, even the Core base model receives help from a 48-volt electric motor bolted to a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine for 247 horsepower of combined output.
In an effort to boost efficiency, Volvo has electrified the XC90’s powertrain offerings. Standard equipment on XC90 Plus includes a 360-degree camera, 20-inch wheels, leather upholstery, and heated rear seats. At no additional cost, the Plus trim allows for the Maroon Brown leather-and-Charcoal interior, which comes with stylish walnut trim. Volvo allows for a decent amount of configurability when it comes to building the perfect XC90, but to find a good balance of opulence, price, and power we’d suggest starting with the Plus trim, adding the optional 295-hp B6 powertrain, and sticking with the cheaper seven-passenger bench-seat layout instead of paying the hefty price for second-row captain’s chairs. New à la carte options include a Harman Kardon audio sound system, head-up display, 20-inch wheels for Core, and 21-inch wheels for Plus trims. A new Lounge package, available on Ultimate trims, adds front seat backrest massaging and a Nubuck suede-like headliner. A new Climate package, available on Core trims only, adds a heated steering wheel, rear seats, and a headlight cleaning system. The XC90 gets new Bright and Dark exterior themes, the latter replacing any chrome or shiny trim pieces with high-gloss black parts. Additionally, Volvo adds three new metallic exterior colors, Bright Dusk, Platinum Grey, and Silver Dawn, while removing six previously optional paint choices. In an effort to transform its entire lineup into an electrified one, Volvo has eliminated its gas-only T5 and T6 engines, replacing them with four-cylinder-turbo B5 and B6 mild-hybrid powertrains. What was formerly two trims-Momentum and Inscription-are now three: Core, Plus, and Ultimate. The 2023 Volvo XC90 has fancy new names for its trim levels.

Its City Safety system alerts the driver to an imminent collision and brakes to prevent low-speed rear-enders. The XC60 gets Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS, and nearly a clean sweep from NHTSA, missing by one star in the rollover test. A 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder sounds stodgy but is actually strong and smooth a 3.2-liter inline-6 makes 240 horsepower a turbocharged 3.0-liter six makes 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque while the R-Design model using that engine is tuned to bring 325 horsepower. The lightweight Drive-E engines with the solid Haldex all-wheel drive come with the old 6-speed transmissions that now seem archaic. The idea behind having two aspiration methods on the same engine is that one (turbocharged) brings more power at higher speeds, while the other (supercharged) brings more a lower speeds.
The T5 is turbocharged, while the T6 adds a supercharger to the turbocharger. There are two versions, the T5 with 240 horsepower and T6 with 302 horsepower, both paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The XC60's fuel-efficient, direct-injection 2.0-liter engines, called Drive-E, were new for 2015. For 2016, there are no real changes, just a shuffling of options. The 2016 Volvo XC60 is available in 10 different models. The V60 wagon is similar but it's more like a large hatchback, not nearly as roomy in back as the family-friendly XC60. Available with front- or all-wheel-drive, the XC60 is safe and particularly sensible, as Volvos are known to be. The Volvo XC60, now in its seventh year, is a mid-size crossover SUV built on the platform of the sweet S60 sedan.
