Luxury features, size, and style makes leasing the 2023 Volvo XC90 the best choice, among other vehicles in the huge midsize luxury SUV lineup.
Available with seating for up to seven passengers, the three-row XC90 is Volvo’s biggest SUV, and it competes with rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz GLE-class, Porsche Cayenne, and BMW X5.
All XC90 powertrains are fitted with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. With a bias toward luxury, the XC90 aims to win over the upper-class buyers with high-quality interior materials and a practical max towing capacity of 5000 pounds.
Engine & Performance
In an effort to boost efficiency, Volvo models have exclusive powertrain offerings. 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. Moving up to the B6 powertrain, available on Plus and standard on Ultimate trim levels, increases output to 295 horsepower.
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. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission come with every XC90, no matter the trim level or powertrain.
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.
Fuel Economy
With the exception of its T8 plug-in-hybrid powertrain, the XC90 achieves similar fuel-economy ratings to many of its six-cylinder competitors.
The 247-hp B5 powertrain gets an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 28 highway, while XC90’s with the 295-hp B6 powertrain gets 20 city and 26 mpg highway ratings. The XC90 Recharge T8 gets an EPA-rated 66 MPGe and can go for as far as 36 miles on battery power according to the EPA.
Interior
The XC90’s interior is a masterpiece of the medium. From the attractive design to the quality of the materials, we wish there were more vehicles like this.
Adults won’t be happy in the third row, despite the fact that it offers more legroom than similar rivals, but preteens can probably be persuaded, provided the journey is short.
The XC90’s wide silhouette helps in the cargo-hauling department, but interior compartments aren’t as comfortable as in some rivals.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
Volvo’s commitment to safety is legendary, and its three-row crossover has a loaded roster of driver-assistance technology. Key safety features include: Standard forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, standard blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
