2022 volvo xc90 recharge plug in hybrid12/28/2023 ![]() It’s easy to get in and out of the XC90’s front- and second-row seats, but as is usually the case with three-row SUVs, it’s tougher to squeeze into that last row. It was further optioned with a package of suede-style headliner and massaging front seats for $1,700, and the standard premium sound system was swapped out for an even more impressive stereo for $3,750. My tester included such as items as four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, hands-free tailgate, auto-dimming mirrors, adaptive LED headlights, heated steering wheel, heated front and second-row seats with Nappa leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, integrated second-row booster cushion, rear-door sunshades, and crystal gear selector. New this year, the infotainment system includes Google Built-In, which includes Google Assistant, Maps and Play, and the ability to receive over-the-air (OTA) updates. The XC90 comes well-equipped, as you’d expect for the price. The mid-level Plus and my Ultimate tester further add highway driving assist and 360-degree camera views. It also earns the top five-star crash rating from the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).Īll trims include such features as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, road sign information, and the back-up camera required on all new vehicles. The front- and side crash tests have been updated to better simulate being struck by a large SUV, and many vehicles that did well on the old tests are getting lower scores now, but the XC90 achieved the highest “Good” on all. The XC90 gets the highest Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The interior is equally lovely, with high-quality materials and typical uncluttered Scandinavian design that’s focused around the centre touchscreen – but the uncluttered lack of buttons means many functions aren’t always the quickest and easiest to use. ![]() All the design cues work well together: the 21-inch wheels tuck up into the wheel wells the chrome in the front air intakes matches the side accents and the taillights cradle the curve of the hatch. ![]() The XC90 is a looker, well-proportioned and with enough curves to offset the overall functional-boxy shape of this SUV. Mine had a few add-ons, including an air suspension and premium stereo, that took it to $103,665 before taxes. There’s a mid-range Plus trim at $89,915, but I had the top-level Ultimate, starting at $95,865. The XC90 Recharge starts in Core trim at $84,965, including a non-negotiable delivery fee of $2,315. All trims also receive Google Built-In for their infotainment systems. The automaker is now putting some form of electrification into every one of its vehicles, which means last year’s gas-only XC90 trims are gone in favour of a mild hybrid and my tester, the Recharge plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The 2023 Volvo XC90, the brand’s largest sport-utility, has undergone some modifications for this year.
