Used 2020 Volvo XC90 SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 Volvo XC90 is a luxury SUV with two seating configurations and three trim levels: Momentum, R-Design and Inscription. Three engine choices of increasing power are offered for most trim levels, named T5, T6 and T8 eAWD Plug-in Hybrid. The T5 is available in either a front- or all-wheel-drive configuration, while the other drivetrains come with all-wheel drive. Seating for seven is standard, though the T6 and T8 powertrains in Momentum or Inscription trims can have a six-seat configuration with second-row captain's chairs.
Which XC90 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The base turbocharged four-cylinder is the least expensive of the bunch, but we're skeptical of its ability to effortlessly carry seven people and luggage. And while the T8 is the most powerful, it also adds quite a bit to the bottom line. The T6 is just right. While the Momentum has a lengthy list of standard features, we think buyers should upgrade for the true luxury experience. Either of the two upper trims is worth the extra money — it comes down to personal preference between the sport-themed R-Design and the luxurious Inscription.
