The Volvo XC90 has long been a symbol of excellence in the automotive world, blending luxury, safety, and innovation in a way that few other vehicles can match. Now, with a host of technology and design updates, the 2025 XC90 is better than ever, reaffirming its position as the flagship hybrid SUV in Volvo’s lineup.
A Premium Seven-Seater with a Focus on Comfort
At the heart of the XC90’s appeal is its unwavering commitment to comfort. Designed as a premium seven-seater, the XC90 offers unparalleled comfort, making it the ideal choice for families and individuals alike. The SUV’s reputation as one of the safest vehicles on the road is further enhanced in its latest iteration, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers.
Outstanding Hybrid Efficiency and Electric Range
The 2025 XC90 is not just a hybrid SUV; it’s an outstanding electric vehicle with a back-up plan. With more than 70 kilometers of fully electric range on a single charge (under the WLTP testing cycle), many drivers will be able to complete their daily commutes with zero tailpipe emissions. Volvo’s data indicates that around half of the distance covered by its latest plug-in hybrids is driven on pure electric power, emphasizing the vehicle’s efficiency.
When longer journeys beckon, the XC90’s hybrid powertrain seamlessly integrates with an efficient petrol engine, extending the total range by more than 800 kilometers. This combination allows for constant all-wheel drive or off-road capability when needed, making the XC90 a versatile choice for any driving scenario.
A Contemporary and Confident Design
The exterior of the 2025 XC90 has been subtly refreshed, reflecting Volvo’s ongoing transition towards full electrification. The updated design is both modern and confident, echoing elements from Volvo’s newest fully electric models. This aesthetic evolution not only reinforces the XC90’s visual appeal but also aligns it with the future direction of the brand.
A Renewed Interior with Advanced Technology
Inside the XC90, Volvo has made significant enhancements to improve both practicality and the user experience. The cabin now features a larger, higher-resolution central touchscreen that introduces new features and apps, all while benefiting from regular over-the-air software updates. This update brings the XC90’s user interface in line with the latest innovations seen in Volvo’s EX90 and EX30 electric vehicles.
The interior redesign also includes a more horizontal dashboard, premium recycled materials for a textured finish, and new vertical air vents. Enhanced illumination adds a touch of luxury, particularly during nighttime driving. Volvo has also listened to customer feedback, adding more storage space, an additional cupholder, and a repositioned wireless phone charger for greater convenience.
Unparalleled Safety Features
Volvo’s commitment to safety is legendary, and the 2025 XC90 is no exception. The SUV comes equipped with an advanced safety cage and a comprehensive suite of active safety features. Using radar and a front camera, the XC90 can detect if the vehicle has drifted into the oncoming lane and will steer the car back into its lane to avoid a collision. The system also helps prevent inadvertent road departures and can use braking and steering to avoid collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals like moose.
Legendary Comfort with Adaptive Suspension
The 2025 XC90 takes ride comfort to the next level. The standard suspension has been improved to adapt mechanically to current road conditions, ensuring both comfort and stability. For those seeking the ultimate in ride quality, an optional air suspension is available. This system works with an active chassis that monitors the car, road, and driver 500 times per second, providing an incredibly smooth and confident driving experience.
The air suspension can lower the vehicle by 20mm for easier access or better aerodynamics and raise it by 40mm for rough terrain. Additionally, Volvo has added extra insulation to reduce wind and road noise, further enhancing the tranquil driving experience.
A Balanced Product Portfolio
Volvo’s strategy of offering both fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, like the XC90 T8, creates a balanced and exciting global product portfolio. This approach caters to a market that is still developing in many key regions, ensuring that Volvo remains a strong player in the premium vehicle segment as it transitions towards full electrification.
Mild-Hybrid Variants for Greater Flexibility
For customers who prefer traditional powertrains, Volvo continues to offer two mild-hybrid petrol variants of the XC90. The B5 and B6 models are equipped with a 48v lithium-ion battery and an integrated starter/generator, which can reduce emissions and fuel consumption by up to 15% in real-world driving.
