The Volvo XC90 is widely appreciated for its impressive safety features, spacious interior, and reliability, making it a popular family choice. Many owners highlight the comfortable ride and value for money, especially in adverse weather. However, some drivers note that the fuel economy is not as competitive as that of newer SUVs, and certain elements, such as the instrumentation, feel dated in earlier models.

Bought an old 2005 XC90 to get back and forward to work in the rainy snowy winter in Scotland. (I have an Insignia Estate as my normal drive but was struggling in the winter weather). What a difference, great car comfortable safe and mpg not to bad averaging 37 to 38mpg. Insignia did 46mpg average. Cant see me using the Insignia even in summer, so will be selling the new car and keeping an old one 15 years older. All I can say is what a great car, in immaculate condition, full service history, very clean MOT history no advisories on last 5 MOTs. Fine a good one they are out there.

Volvo XC90 (2015-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Tastefully designed interior | Slightly noisy engines |
| Hugely comfortable over long distances | Infotainment system not the best |
| Practical, spacious and safe | No head-up display on all but top-spec Ultra model |
Quick Summary
The Volvo XC90 (2015-present) is a luxurious, seven-seat premium SUV that combines Scandinavian design elegance with exceptional practicality. Built on Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, it features a refined cabin with tasteful interiors and cutting-edge technology. The three-row seating arrangement is genuinely usable, with flexible middle-row seats and a spacious boot offering up to 1,950 litres with all seats folded. Recent updates in 2024 and 2025 keep the XC90 competitive, whilst over-the-air software updates ensure the car remains fresh throughout ownership.
The XC90 is available with two petrol powertrains: the B5 mild-hybrid (246bhp) and the T8 plug-in hybrid (306bhp plus 143bhp electric motor). The T8 offers impressive performance, reaching 62mph in 5.4 seconds, whilst delivering up to 235mpg on the official cycle with a 44-mile electric range. Both versions provide a cosseting, relaxing driving experience with refined handling, though they're not as dynamically engaging as some rivals. Running costs are manageable for a car of this size, with servicing from approximately £369. Safety is paramount, with a five-star Euro NCAP rating and comprehensive standard safety systems across all trims.
Best for: Families seeking a comfortable, spacious, and luxurious seven-seat SUV for long-distance travel, those prioritising Scandinavian design and quality, and buyers wanting a practical premium vehicle with advanced technology.
Not ideal for: Drivers seeking the most dynamic handling, those on tight budgets (insurance groups reach 40+), or buyers wanting the latest generation platform (rivals offer newer designs).
Comparison vs Key Rivals

| Audi Q7 | 5/5 | 4.7/5 | 38.0% | 4.5/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the XC90 if: You're seeking a comfortable, spacious, and luxurious seven-seat SUV for long-distance travel, prioritise Scandinavian design and quality, or want a practical premium vehicle with advanced technology.
Consider alternatives if: You desire the most dynamic handling, require the latest generation platform, or are budget-conscious about insurance costs.
Competitive Position: The Volvo XC90 (2015-present) remains a strong contender in the premium SUV segment, offering exceptional comfort, practicality, and Scandinavian elegance. Whilst rivals like the BMW X5 and Audi Q7 boast newer platforms and slightly higher expert ratings, the XC90 matches them on user satisfaction and value. The Mercedes-Benz GLE is equally competitive. The XC90's greatest strengths lie in its refined interior, genuine seven-seat practicality, and relaxing driving experience. Recent updates and over-the-air software support help maintain its appeal, though fundamentally newer competitors may offer more cutting-edge technology. For those prioritising comfort and space over outright dynamism, the XC90 remains an excellent choice.
