Video Review: 2025 Volvo XC90

Old but not outdated, the XC90 is a premier 3-row PHEV.

The XC90 exemplifies Volvo’s simplistic luxury approach. It’s approachable, likeable, and useful with touches of luxury that aren’t overstated. It’s a beautiful three-row SUV inside and out. I recommend spending the money to get the plug-in hybrid (T8) model.

Video summary: The 2025 Volvo XC90 is a refined three-row SUV that maintains its luxury appeal with updated trim levels and a focus on plug-in hybrid technology. With a well-balanced driving experience, ample electric range, and a spacious interior, it remains a strong contender in the luxury SUV market despite its age. The Google-based infotainment system presents a learning curve but enhances connectivity. Overall, the XC90 continues to impress with its elegant design and practicality.
