These include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/bmw\/x5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"BMW X5\">BMW X5<\/a> and Mercedes GLS. When it was released at the Detroit Motor Show, the XC90 received good reviews and won numerous awards like SUV of the Year from <em>MotorTrend<\/em>. Unlike other car manufacturers, Volvo also prioritized safety in true Volvo fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The XC90 didn&rsquo;t present itself as sporty or luxurious, even though it was. Volvo&rsquo;s design was rugged but refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from its unique styling, the XC90&rsquo;s main selling point was the fact that it drove like a regular sedan, rather than a heavy full-size SUV. It also boasted intelligent engineering and family-focused practicality with its flat cargo floor behind the front seats, plus good fuel economy. The XC90 was so successful that the model line continues today and this initial model proved that people were interested in its characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Engine: <\/strong>3.2-Liter Inline Six<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weight: <\/strong>4460 lbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power: <\/strong>209hp<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Torque: <\/strong>236 lb-ft<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0-60 mph: <\/strong>8.9 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Massive Investment: 2014 XC90 (Second-Generation)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2014-volvo-xc90-1024x684.png\" alt=\"isolated image of a 2014 volvo xc90\" class=\"wp-image-139638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2014-volvo-xc90-1024x684.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2014-volvo-xc90-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2014-volvo-xc90-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2014-volvo-xc90-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2014-volvo-xc90-1200x800.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2014-volvo-xc90-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2014-volvo-xc90.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The second-generation Volvo XC90 retained a similar shape, with sharp-looking LED headlights and vertical tail lights.

This update was a long time coming since the first generation was generally left unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This overhaul was built on a new platform. Volvo invested $11 billion in the new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, which allowed their vehicles to be lighter, safer, and more efficient overall. This generation represented a complete overhaul, a departure from the long-running first generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second-generation XC90 retained a similar shape. Its front was drastically modernized, featuring sharp-looking LED headlights. On its rear, it retained the vertical tail lights which made the XC90 unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the hood, this new generation was also completely different. Unlike the first generation which had engine technology and parts from Ford, Volvo, and Yamaha, the new generation was completely from Volvo. It had a new 2-liter turbocharged engine with hybrid offerings. The plug-in hybrid model in particular could make 400 hp while being incredibly efficient at 94 mpg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Engine: <\/strong>2.0L T6 8AT AWD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 6080 lbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power: <\/strong>240@6400<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Torque: <\/strong>236@3200<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0-60 mph: <\/strong>6.5 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Than a Facelift: 2019 Volvo XC90<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2019-volvo-xc90-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"2019 volvo xc90 in the woods\" class=\"wp-image-139660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2019-volvo-xc90-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2019-volvo-xc90-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2019-volvo-xc90-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2019-volvo-xc90-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2019-volvo-xc90-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2019-volvo-xc90-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2019-volvo-xc90.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">After four years, the Volvo XC90 got a mid-cycle facelift, which changed the model&rsquo;s looks and retained most of its powertrain options.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After four years, the Volvo XC90 got a mid-cycle facelift, which changed the model&rsquo;s looks and retained most of its powertrain options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second-generation Volvo comes in three trims with different engines: a T5, a T6, and a hybrid T8. The Volvo XC90 engines vary depending on the trim. T5 has a capable turbocharged engine with 250 hp. Then, the T6 has supercharging, which results in 316 hp. The T6 also gets all-wheel drive. Meanwhile, the T8 hybrid model has the T6&rsquo;s supercharged engine combined with two electric motors and a charging port. Like any hybrid, the XC90 has rapid acceleration. The plug-in version can even provide 17 miles of EV-only range. It requires three hours to charge from empty using a 240-volt outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to automotive reviews, the T6 model is the one to get because of its all-wheel drive. In terms of options, Nappa leather upholstery, 10-way power-adjustable seats, and gorgeous walnut open-pore wood trim make the interior experience exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Engine: <\/strong>2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 4,394 lbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power: <\/strong>316 @ 5700 rpm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Torque: <\/strong>295 @ 2200 rpm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>0-60 mph: <\/strong>6.1 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Futuristic Understated Luxury: 2025 Volvo XC90 Hybrid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025-Volvo-XC90-Hybrid-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"beautiful shot of a 2025 Volvo XC90 Hybrid\" class=\"wp-image-139666\" style=\"width:1024px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025-Volvo-XC90-Hybrid-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025-Volvo-XC90-Hybrid-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025-Volvo-XC90-Hybrid-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025-Volvo-XC90-Hybrid-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025-Volvo-XC90-Hybrid-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025-Volvo-XC90-Hybrid-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025-Volvo-XC90-Hybrid.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Volvo 2025 has an updated front fascia with redesigned LED headlights with Volvo&rsquo;s signature &ldquo;Thor&rsquo;s Hammer&rdquo; daytime running lights.

Volvo&rsquo;s understated Scandinavian styling ages more gracefully compared to other car brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The XC90 doesn&rsquo;t strive to be innovative, it just does a good job of being a luxury full-size SUV. Aside from safety, which Volvo always excels in, the newest XC90 also offers advanced automatic systems like automatic emergency braking, and pilot assist, which is the brand&rsquo;s autonomous driving system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Engine: <\/strong>310-lb-ft turbo direct-injected DOHC 16-valve I-4 plus 145-hp\/107-lb-ft rear electric motor (T8 trim)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weight: <\/strong>4,550&ndash;5,050 lb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power: <\/strong>455 hp<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Torque: <\/strong>523 lb-ft<strong>0-60 mph: <\/strong>5.1-7.3 sec (estimated)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping Your SUV at Its Best<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Volvo XC90 demonstrates how safety, luxury, and performance can coexist in a single SUV.
