Light work
The advanced LED headlights of the XC90, with our signature "Thor's Hammer" daytime running lights, allow you to see more clearly at night. Available Full-LED Headlights include Auto High Beams that help you to avoid dazzling other road users by automatically switching between the high and low beam as well as Active Bending Lights, allowing you to see clearly around corners in the direction of travel. -

Designed, then crafted
We designed and built the cabin of the XC90 with the best of Scandinavian design and Swedish craftsmanship. Clean, uncluttered design gives a feeling of calm that helps you relax. Scandinavian details delight the senses, such as the Linear Walnut genuine wood inlays and the Orrefors crystal glass gear shifter for the T8 Twin Engine.![]()

Practically Perfect
The XC90 has been designed to be practical as well as beautiful. To make the most of the space, each backrest folds flat so you have complete flexibility whether you’re carrying passengers or cargo. The third row of seats can even be folded from the rear tailgate at the touch of a button. Thoughtful details such as shopping bag hooks and a strap that secures bags on the floor stop your bags from sliding around, while eyelets in the floor and a cargo net help secure larger items.Take a seat
With seven seats standard, the XC90 accommodates all your passengers in luxury and comfort. The driver and passenger seats are available with massage and ventilation functions, while the second and third rows are raised above the ones in front – like the seats in a theater – to give their occupants a better view ahead. All three seats in the second row slide and recline. The third row offers class-leading legroom.![]()

TECHNOLOGY
An easier life
Technology with a purpose: to make your life easier

The power of touch
The 9" Sensus Touchscreen is at the heart of how you control many of the functions in the XC90. Sleek and responsive, it uses bold, clear graphics and a portrait format that makes reading information and maps easy, with less scrolling. The touchscreen is so responsive that you can use it wearing gloves, while the surface has a special coating that reduces glare![]()

You’re in control
Technology in the XC90 has been designed to make your life easier. And we wanted to display the most important information in a way that is better for you. That’s why the Digital Driver Display behind the steering wheel puts important information directly in front of you, and automatically adjusts brightness to the surrounding light conditions. There’s also an available Graphical Head-Up Display that projects information onto the windsheild, so you don’t need to take your eyes off the road. You can even control the car by speech: the voice control function allows you to operate climate control, navigation, media and phone just by speaking naturally. -
AUDIO
Hear the difference
Experience exceptional audio with Bowers & Wilkins

Built for sound
The XC90 was designed from the ground up for superb sound. Our range-topping Bowers & Wilkins system works with the car’s internal acoustics to deliver clarity and realism through its 19 speakers, including a unique subwoofer that draws air in from outside the car to create deeper, richer bass. A tweeter mounted on the top of the dashboard cuts down on acoustic reflections from the windscreen. On Excellence models, there is an extra speaker between the rear seats.
Three different room modes – Studio, Individual Stage and Gothenburg Concert Hall – allow you to tailor the sound to your music or mood. Stainless steel speaker grilles and Bowers & Wilkins’ trademark yellow speaker cones make this a system that looks as good as it sounds.
Hear the difference
The Harman Kardon Premium Sound system gives you powerful sound and technology that improves the in-car experience. Each of the 14 speakers is individually monitored and adjusted, so everyone hears the best possible sound. Automatic Level Adjustment evens out differences in volume and intensity on the recording, so you don’t have to constantly change the settings. And a bass management system adapts the bass to the car’s acoustics, making the deepest notes richer and clearer.

Connection made easy
Connect your smartphone to the XC90 quickly and easily, every time. The XC90 features standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which turns the 9" Sensus Touchscreen into an extension of your smartphone. Access your music and messages or make calls, using voice control to talk to your phone’s personal assistant. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto only use the lower half of the screen so the car’s other functions are still displayed.

DRIVING
Enjoy the drive
Refinement and agility make the XC90 a car to enjoy on every journey
![]()
First class comfort, every day
Refined and relaxing, the XC90 offers first-class comfort over long distances. Double wishbone suspension at the front and our unique integral link rear axle, built from lightweight materials, help to save weight and ensure the XC90 responds precisely. It also contributes to a quiet, vibration-free ride, helped by available laminated windows that reduce noise.![]()
Supreme control
The optional Air Suspension with Four-C active chassis is an electronically controlled damping system that makes the XC90 even more adept at adapting to your needs. It makes up to 500 calculations per second to assess the current road conditions and driving style, and then adapts the responses of the suspension dampers to provide the optimum balance between comfort and control.
When you switch between the car’s drive modes, Four-C also adjusts the suspension characteristics. Comfort mode prioritizes a smooth ride, while Dynamic mode sharpens the handling and car’s responses. Individual mode allows drivers to create their own combination of settings.Build your XC90 ![]()

Zero-emissions travel
Exceptional performance and zero-emissions – the XC90 T8 e-AWD Plug-In Hybrid
![]()
Pure power: T8 Twin Engine Plug-In Hybrid
The XC90 T8 e-AWD Plug-In Hybrid offers effortless performance by combining a supercharged and turbocharged gasoline engine driving the front wheels with an electric motor driving the rear. Paired with our smooth, automatic Geartronic transmission, the result is strong, effortless acceleration.![]()
![]()
Choose your mode
The XC90 T8 e-AWD Plug-In Hybrid allows you to drive an average daily commute with zero emissions. This near-silent, electric-only mode, which we call Pure mode, is enough for the daily commute of most people. In addition there are two more modes. Switch to Power mode and the turbocharged, supercharged gasoline engine and powerful electric motor work together to give you an instant response when you put your foot down. Keep the car in default Hybrid mode and the T8 Twin Engine automatically chooses between the gasoline engine, electric motor or a combination of the two, to keep you moving as smoothly and efficiently as possible.Designed to be hybrid
With plenty of space, and technology that makes driving easier, the XC90 T8 Twin Engine is the plug-in hybrid without compromise. It’s because the XC90 was designed from the start to use a plug-in hybrid powertrain, so the batteries and electric motor don’t compromise space--meaning you get the same 7-seats and impressive cargo space as in any other XC90. Charging the battery is as easy as plugging it into an outlet, but the powerful gasoline engine means you can keep going even without an electric top-up. Predictive Efficiency technology plans your journey using the ‘electronic horizon’ feature of Sensus Navigation, so the battery lasts the length of the journey.![]()

Your assistant on the road
Volvo Cars’ Pilot Assist driver assistance technology helps keep the XC90 at a set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you, using steering input to keep you in the center of your lane. Pilot Assist works at speeds up to 80 mph, and is particularly helpful in highway conditions, helping to reduce some of the effort required when driving in heavy traffic.
Please note: the driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled. Pilot Assist is only a supportive function.![]()

A better view, all round
The 360˚ SurroundView Camera available for the Volvo XC90 helps to make parking easier by giving you a bird’s-eye view of your car and its immediate surroundings. It’s especially useful when negotiating tight spaces and allows you to see the car’s position in relation to its surroundings. The view from the four wide-angle lens cameras appears on the center touchscreen and is available at speeds up to 8 mph.Easier parking
The XC90 is easy to park with Park Assist Pilot. It uses sensors to gauge the size of parallel or perpendicular spaces as you drive by them, and lets you know if one is big enough. It can then steer the car into a parallel space just 1.2 times the length of the car - all you need to do is operate the gears and brake according to the screen prompts. Your XC90 will do the rest.
Please note: the driver is responsible for how the car is controlled at all times

SAFETY
Protecting what’s important
Technology that helps to protect your family and makes driving safer
![]()
Designed to protect
Safety is at the heart of the XC90 and is the result of decades of innovation. Ultra high-strength boron steel – one of the strongest types available – forms a rigid safety cell around the car’s occupants. Safety belt pre-tensioners and load limiters keep the belts in just the right state of tension while not exerting too much pressure on the body.

![]()
Looking out for you
Your XC90 looks out for potential danger, helping to protect both those people in the car and those outside, day and night. We call this innovation City Safety and it uses radar and camera technology to identify potential hazards such as other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals ahead. It warns the driver if it detects an imminent collision and, if they don’t react in time, City Safety can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision.
Keeping you on the road
The XC90 can protect against one of the most common types of collision - when a vehicle leaves the road. Run-off road Mitigation can detect if the car is about to leave the road unintentionally and can then use steering and, if necessary, brake support to guide the car back onto the right path.
If the car does leave the road then Run-off Road Protection – another Volvo Cars innovation – reduces the chances of serious injury. It features an energy-absorbing structure in the front seat frames that cushions vertical impact in the event of a hard landing and safety belts that automatically tighten to keep occupants in the safest position.
