2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country

Price Range: $59,800 - $64,800 ^{Price range reflects Base MSRP for various trim levels, not including options or fees.}

The 2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country offers very mild off-road ability without compromising everyday on-road manners. It's a little louder and rougher-riding than it would be if it were optimized exclusively for road use, but most people won't notice. And being a slightly lifted wagon is unique, an upside for some buyers.Read full review

Noisier cabin than competitors

What's new

No significant changes
Part of the second V90 generation introduced for 2017

Overview

From the Swedish purveyors of long-roof hatchbacks comes the V90 Cross Country, a slightly elevated station wagon designed to enable modest off-pavement endeavors without removing its own plastic body cladding. This upscale wagon delivers on personality with standard all-wheel drive, SUV-rivaling cargo space, and distinctive luxury design you'll only find in Volvos. It's a five-seater with space in the back for cargo and Google in the front for, well, everything else.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country B6 Plus 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.72 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: Big, but with moves

With a 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds in our testing the V90 Cross Country proves that just because it's big and heavy doesn't mean it has to dawdle. We've always been impressed with its twin-charged engine, which uses electric supercharging to fill in the low end and a turbocharger to keep it within its powerband at higher speeds. The integrated starter-generator offers energy recovery during braking and adds modestly to the gas engine's output during acceleration. Paired with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, this wagon does surprising things when asked. Its steering offers precision beyond what's necessary in this segment. Coupled with the additional grip of all-wheel drive, cornering is more fun than it should be. Overall, we're impressed with the V90's manners. It's a stark reminder that big doesn't have to mean dull. Read our Expert Rating below for all the details.

Competitors to consider

The V90 Cross Country has precisely two direct competitors: the Audi A6 Allroad wagon and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain wagon. They both come standard with all-wheel drive and more power than the V90. And they offer standard air springs at all four corners, which increase their versatility. The V90's offers only optional load-leveling rear air springs. But both the Audi and the Benz cost more than the V90 too.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8/10

How does the V90 Cross Country drive? The V90 provides ample oomph for the daily commute along with predictable and confident stopping power. The engine reacts quickly when you need a burst of speed. Thanks to nearly 300 horsepower and the benefit of all-wheel drive, our test V90 Cross Country scooted to 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds. Not bad for a wagon that weighs more than two tons.

The steering feels direct and accurate, and with power going to all four wheels, you can actually get the big wagon to move neatly around some corners. A bit more ground clearance with all-wheel drive means the Cross Country fares well on unpaved and slippery roads. Overall, this smooth-operating luxury wagon is better to drive than it needs to be, and that's a good thing.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the V90 Cross Country? The V90 Cross Country's interior will be familiar to anyone who's sat in a Volvo recently. The chic, minimalist design works well, and there's an air of Swedish diligence about the cabin. The seats are luscious with great adjustability, and the climate controls help keep the cabin at the right temperature thanks to their powerful (but silent) operation.

We were far less enamored with the optional 21-inch wheels and Pirelli P Zero tires on our test vehicle. We could feel more bumps in the road in this V90 compared to others we've driven with the regular 19-inch wheels and tires. The extra tire sidewall of the 19s help provide a cushier ride quality. We recommend sticking with the smaller wheels and tires, especially on a vehicle that's meant to have some off-road capability.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The interior features a mostly beautiful and sleek design. Our only gripe is with the glossy black plastic that quickly attracts fingerprints. The rest of the material choices in the cabin are excellent, with quality leather and soft-touch plastics covering most surfaces. And though the touchscreen controls the majority of the car's functions, the learning curve is relatively short and the controls are both easy to access and get the hang of.

The V90 Cross Country sits taller than a standard wagon, so passengers don't need to bend as much to get in, a boon for people who find getting into low-slung sedans and wagons difficult. The cabin is an elegant-looking and pleasing place to sit, with a strong sense of spaciousness thanks to a panoramic sunroof and large windows. And with plenty of legroom, headroom and shoulder room front and rear, even 6-foot-tall adults won't have difficulty getting comfortable.

Build & Price

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Google has taken over the vast majority of the tech in Volvo's latest cars. The center screen is now more of an Android-powered tablet than a typical infotainment system. Google Maps is built right in, and you can sign into services like Spotify and simply ask Google to navigate you to work or play your favorite songs through the excellent (if optional) Harman Kardon stereo.

The V90 Cross Country also offers a full suite of advanced driving aids. Most of the aids function well, but we had trouble with the lane keeping assistance and found the emergency braking assistance to be way too sensitive. You can turn it off, but it defaults to "on" every time you start the car.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The V90 Cross Country's cargo space rivals what you'll get in most similar-size SUVs. The rear seats fold electrically, and a host of other clever options enhance its utility, such as a grocery bag holder and a steel guard that protects passengers from sliding cargo. Child seats are easy to install beyond a little squeeze to reach the seatback anchors. Optional integrated rear booster seats are also a novel idea. Interior storage for small items in the cabin is, curiously, only adequate.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates you'll average 25 mpg (22 city/29 highway) in the the V90 Cross Country, but on our 115-mile evaluation loop, which incorporates more highway than city travel, our observed fuel economy was closer to 23.5 mpg. That's not terrible, but it's lower than we'd expect to see.

Value

7.5/10

Is the V90 Cross Country a good value? The V90 Cross Country justifies its pricing through excellent design, safety features, warranty coverage and ownership perks. It's also a bit less expensive than competitive wagons from Audi and Mercedes-Benz. The basic and powertrain warranties and initial complimentary services are on par with what other luxury carmakers offer.

Wildcard

7.5/10

There's no denying it: This Volvo looks fantastic. The interior design is distinct from other luxury cars, right down to the tiny flag of Sweden stitched into the seats. The V90 Cross Country doesn't ride as smoothly as it should, but this is still a refined, stylish and luxurious wagon, and few other cars on the market blend those attributes together as well as the V90 Cross Country does.

Which V90 Cross Country does Edmunds recommend?

We think the Plus trim offers ample equipment for most people, especially given its value pricing in the tiny segment of lifted wagons. It comes standard with plenty of features, including four-zone climate control; leather upholstery; Google Maps, Assistant and Play; and ample driver aids.

I just bought a brand new 2018 V90CC leftover. I got about 28% discount from list. So it’s a huge bang for the buck. The car is smooth as silk. I wasn’t looking for a car quite this large but then again it’s only 4 inches longer than an Outback. The level of safety features is unparalleled. Anything you can think of is in it.

Over the past 16 years, we've had an XC70, S60, XC60 and 3 XC90's. The V90XC is hands down the best. Roomier than the 60's and the 70, it handles better than the 90's. Road noise is minimal. Suspension is great. Just returned from a 600 mile round trip to New Hampshire and averaged 30.7 mpg. The adaptive cruise control works well and takes the frustration out of driving in traffic. On …
