Pros Cons of Volvo XC90

Pros

  • Elegant Scandinavian design that ages well
  • Excellent ride comfort thanks to air suspension
  • Strong safety credentials with ADAS features
  • Refined petrol mild-hybrid powertrain
  • Practical seven-seat cabin for family use

Cons

  • The third row is tight for taller adults
  • No diesel or plug-in hybrid option in India
  • Performance is not as exciting as some rivals

Verdict

The Volvo XC90 remains an exception as a luxury SUV, with a focus on comfort, safety and understated design rather than outright performance. The facelift features subtle changes in the design and technology without any change in the core strengths that have defined the SUV for years.

While some of its rivals, such as the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, may have more powerful engines or more sporty driving characteristics, the XC90 is all about providing a calm and elegant driving experience. Its spacious cabin, robust safety package and ride comfort make it attractive to families who are looking for a premium three-row SUV.

Shams summarised the experience well in his review:

“This is a car that stays away from gimmicks and just does its core job with absolute ease.”
