The Volvo XC90 benefits from a handsome, sculpted look that goes much deeper than the sheet metal. Nowhere is this more obvious than under the hood, where the goals of improved fuel economy and improved power are seemingly at odds with one another. Power comes from a 2.0L turbocharged engine. The B5 trims result is 247 horsepower with fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway while the B6 trims have 295 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard on the Volvo XC90, and an 8-speed automatic is the only transmission choice. The 2025 XC90 is offered in seven trims: B5 Core, B5 Plus, B5 Ultra, B6 Core, B6 Plus 7-seater, B6 Ultra 7-Seater, B6 Plus 6- Seater, B6 Ultra 6-Seater. Standard items include heated windshield washer nozzles, four-zone automatic climate control, 10-way power adjustable and heated front seats, power rear headrests, a panoramic power sunroof, adaptive cruise control, a navigation system, a 9.3 touchscreen, a rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors, 20-inch wheels, and satellite radio. The B6 Ultra adds chrome accents, 21-inch wheels, ventilated front seats, 16-way front seats, driver and passenger memory settings, a 14-speaker sound system, head-up display, a surround view camera, and a heated steering wheel. The XC90 wouldn't be a Volvo if it didn't offer world-class, innovative safety systems. In addition to features like lane keep assist and blind spot warning, Volvo's Pilot Assist II driver assistance technologies allow the XC90 to steer and brake autonomously at speeds up to 80 mph, while its City Safety suite provides features like run-off road mitigation and large animal detection.
