The 2023 Volvo XC90 isn't your typical Audi Q7, BMW X5 or Mercedes-Benz GLE, and that's a good thing. Highlights include helpful technology features and a stylish cabin. The available plug-in hybrid powertrain provides a useful amount of all-electric range too. The XC90 might just be the easiest choice outside of something from Germany.

For the 2023 model year, the XC90 receives updated engines and an improved infotainment system. Volvo has introduced its 48-volt mild hybrid engines to some of its models, and now it's the XC90's turn. The T5 and T6 engines get mild hybrid systems and a name change to B5 and B6. Volvo also updated the Recharge T8 plug-in hybrid midway through last year. The latest model has a larger battery that extends its electric-only range to 32 miles. Finally, the 2023 XC90 receives a new Google-based infotainment system that includes Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play. Over-the-air (OTA) software updates will now be possible with the new infotainment system.
The 2023 updates make the Volvo XC90 an even more attractive choice, but there are other impressive three-row luxury SUVs to consider. The Acura MDX and Infiniti QX60 were just redesigned for the 2022 model year, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE is currently our highest-rated midsize luxury SUV. The XC90 hasn't been redesigned since 2016, yet its design has aged well and it still has a lot to offer.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Average
7.5
out of 10
We drove the 2023 Volvo XC90 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the XC90 drive? The XC90 is a smooth operator on the road. We tested the Recharge T8 version, which has the plug-in hybrid powertrain. It's easy to drive sedately around town and accelerate quickly to highway speeds thanks to the powerful electric assist. At our test track, our test XC90 sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. That's about average for a three-row luxury SUV.
Emergency braking from 60 mph was a tad longer than the segment average, but the Volvo's low-grip all-season tires are mostly to blame for the longer distance. The brakes themselves are easy to modulate and make coming to a smooth, considered stop easy.
While you don't get anything more than average handling in the XC90, it's composed and sure-footed on the road thanks to its all-wheel-drive system. Its suspension also maintains excellent control of the XC90's considerable mass over most any type of road surface so you needn't shy away from a twisty, more scenic back road.

Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the XC90? While the seats are typically a highlight in Volvos, our test XC90 had wool upholstery instead of the typical leather. While it's nice to have a different material used, the wool is stretched tightly, and some of our editors thought they were a bit too firm. The ride quality is similarly taut, and even smaller lumps and bumps in the road can be felt through the seat. If it was up to us, we'd go for the leather seats and their softer padding (they also come with ventilation while the wool seats do not) and smaller wheels to ensure the ride is a tad more comfortable.
Those small gripes aside, the XC90 did prove to be a great cocoon. Outside noise and errant vibrations were kept to a minimum, and the high-quality feel of the interior only adds to XC90's credibility as a modern luxury SUV.

Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? The XC90's interior is generally spacious, and visibility is excellent thanks to the big windows. Room is abundant in the first two rows, but it's best to leave the third row to people no larger than most toddlers. It's also easy to get in and out, and models with the air suspension can lower the ride height quickly as you walk up to the car or as you exit.
Our only gripe with the XC90's interior has always been that it isn't the easiest to use. A distinct lack of physical buttons means using the infotainment requires too much menu diving, and adjusting settings that are buried deep in the system is a chore that will almost certainly take attention away from the act of driving. We wish Volvo would embrace physical shortcut buttons to make navigating its infotainment easier.

We wish Volvo would embrace physical shortcut buttons to make navigating its infotainment easier.
Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? Audiophiles will love the XC90's optional Bowers & Wilkins sound system. To our ears, it's one of the best audio systems available in a car right now. The XC90's infotainment interface, though distracting to use at times, is packed with features. Google integration means navigation is a cinch and Google's voice recognition is second to none. Apple CarPlay is also included.
Volvo's driver aids are top-notch. The adaptive cruise control is easy to engage, maintains consistent gaps, and is smooth to both speed up or slow down. The lane keeping system is also spot-on most of the time.

Storage
7/10
How’s the storage? The XC90's upright profile enables a spacious cargo area, especially with the second- and third-row seats folded flat. There is a rather high floor, but the XC90's optional air suspension can be used to lower the vehicle's ride height for easier loading. Under the cargo floor is a space for carrying plug-in charging cords and other small items, and there are backpack-size cubbies on either side as well. Small-item storage is limited in the front. The slim and graceful-looking center console has two cupholders alongside tiny trays. Volvo designed the cabin more for style than functionality.
When it comes to installing child safety seats, the second row has easily accessible car-seat anchor points. The dual third-row seats, however, have no anchor points for hooking in car seats. We also wish the doors opened at a wider angle to make maneuvering a car seat into place a little easier.

Fuel Economy
8/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates that standard XC90s with the base powertrain get 22-25 mpg in combined city/highway driving. We tested the XC90 Recharge, however, which is a plug-in hybrid. According to the EPA, it can go 32 miles on battery power alone. That aligns almost perfectly with our test results. On our real-world test route, the XC90 Recharge went 31.5 miles on pure electric power. After the gas engine took over, the XC90 managed 28.1 mpg, which is comparable to the EPA's estimate of 27 mpg and a few mpg better than most other luxury hybrid SUVs.
Value
7.5/10
Is the XC90 a good value? The XC90 Recharge we tested is a pricey machine. That said, we think you're getting your money's worth with the high-quality cabin materials, excellent build quality and extensive tech features. The XC90 does a great job of being fuss-free transport with a heavy dollop of genuine luxury. Volvo's warranty coverage is average for a luxury brand, which includes three years/36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance.
Wildcard
7/10
The latest XC90 generation has been around since 2016, and it hasn't changed much in the looks department in that time. As a result, the styling is getting a little dated. That said, if Swedish design — and the restraint that typically comes with it — is more your speed, the XC90 has appeal. It might not be the newest kid on the block, but there's something to be said for just how well the big Volvo holds its own against the rest of the pack.
2023 Volvo XC90 trim level differences
The 2023 Volvo XC90 is a three-row midsize luxury SUV that is offered with the choice of three powertrains. The B5 is a mild hybrid with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (247 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque). The B6 uses the same engine but with an increase in power output (295 hp, 310 lb-ft). Both are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. The Recharge T8 is a plug-in hybrid with an electric motor powering the rear wheels (combined output 455 hp, 523 lb-ft) and an electric-only range of 32 miles on a full charge. Compare the 2023 Volvo XC90 trim levels in-depth.
Which XC90 trim does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest going with the base Core trim level for its long list of features for the price. The B6 is our engine recommendation for its added power with only a marginal hit to fuel economy.

Which trim you buy is key! Details are important.

2022 Volvo XC90 T5 Momentum 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I am a car guy (engineer) working in the auto industry (do not work for Volvo) but I do work for a key Volvo supplier. Never owned a Volvo before my 2021 (S60) and I was so impressed that I also purchased an XC90 T5 for my wife. (In 30 years we have owned Nissan, Infiniti, Honda, VW, BMW, Cadillac and do not have any complaints about any of those brands. They were all trouble-free.) … Knowing the history of the engines, I chose the T5 trim for both our S60 and XC90. Those that mention premature rebuild of engines due to excessive oil burning, yes, that has happened, especially with the early T5 engines from 2015-2018. Those issues were addressed with new piston rings so the new T5/T6 engines are usually flawless, except the supercharger on the T6 has had some premature failures. I prefer the T5 (2023 mild hybrid and called B5) because it is a much simpler engine design that has been in production for about 10 years now. Neither of our Volvos consume any appreciable amount of oil between oil changes. The T5 feels peppy enough as long as you're not driving a loaded car all the time. Due to the numerous issues with the Recharge (T8), I recommend to avoid it.
The ride in the XC90 is great with no appreciable wind noise. It is solid and definitely the most solid car we have ever owned. The S60 is very much a tank just like the XC90. There are a ton of engineering safety features (real tangible things, not gimmicks) in the car that I would not spend time explaining here that are very unique and advantages that Volvo has over every other brand. For that reason alone, I bought my first Volvo. We usually keep cars for many years and so far it looks like this one will be like it. No issues at all from either of our Volvos. Just oil changes. Again, the trim level matters. The Recharge is a very complex car with new technology that works well but is not reliable. This applies to any other premium plug-in hybrid. Just be ready to deal with those issues and do not expect a vehicle so complex with tons of software and electronics to be as reliable as a pure gas car.
Finally, I would like to say that the build quality is amazing. If you're into cars and work on them, you will notice that of Volvos immediately. Look under the car and it is a work of art. The organization of the components and quality of the build is second to none. The extensive use of aluminum is another indication that this car is definitely a premium vehicle.
XC-90 Recharge - The Good & The Bad

2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid T8 Inscription 4dr SUV AWD w/6 Passenger Seating, Prod. End 11/21 (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)
I have now had (3) XC-90's. Two T-6's and now the 2022 T-8 Inscription Recharge. Interior wise they are all essentially the same except the T-8 has a crystal shift knob. Sound systems are all the same and excellent. I had a loaner with the upgraded sound system in it and its not worth the extra $$$ IMO. So let's talk about the recharge hybrid functions that you likely won't understand … just taking a test drive. I've got 20K on mine so I have a lot of drive time with it. The charging cable can be plugged in to a regular 110v outlet in your garage with the adapter that comes with the cable, it takes about 7 hours or so to fully charge. If you have a 220v connection installed you can use the other adapter it comes with and it charges in about 3 hours. A single charge is good for 20 miles. That's it! In my opinion 30-40 miles would be ideal. The hybrid mode varies the engine in between electric (under 70 mph) and gas when you have charge left, otherwise it's all gas all the time. There is substantial lag when you want/need to accelerate quickly in hybrid mode from a standing stop. I mean noticeably a lot, like 1/2 a second a lot. I should point out that the T-8 is NOT AWD all the time like the T-6 (and even that isn't really AWD all the time either) but I digress, you have to go into the menu and select AWD otherwise the car is front wheel drive. The vehicle apparently reserves some of the charge for AWD as the rear engine (rear wheel drive) is electric. To date I have never needed AWD even in the snow. Where is the 400 HP you may be wondering? Well if you change the drive mode from hybrid to sport now you get the full brunt of the 400 HP engine all the time, otherwise, meh, not really all that noticeable in hybrid mode. But, and here's the bad part of that, if you really stomp on it in sport mode, the car takes off like a shot, however, with borderline dangerous torque steer! So hang on to that steering wheel! The actual shifting into gear has 2 modes "D" for drive and "B" for battery. If you use "B" as you should, it charges the battery using your braking and the engine braking a little bit, but its something. The vehicle, for me, gets about 29 MPG average. I drive 24 miles each way to work and I don't have access to a charging station at work or I would be getting way more than that. The best way to drive/manage the vehicle's performance (not gas mileage) in my opinion, is run the vehicle in hybrid mode on local roads, it won't take much to run out the battery. I drive a big portion of my daily drive on the highway where the 400 HP is more of a necessity. So I switch to sport mode entering the highway and switch back to hybrid when I'm back to local. Sounds like a pain, and you don't have to do that, I'm saying how I do it. The XC-90 has a bunch of other features like reserve charge, etc, way too much to go into here.
To summarize the XC-90 Recharge is a very nice vehicle. Period, full stop. But the hybrid functionality could use some work. The torque steer is a real issue if you drive aggressively, even occasionally, and the battery life needs improvement. Would I get another one? Given the current fuel prices probably yes.
Stealth Luxury!

2022 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)
XC 90 Inscription hit all the key features that we were looking for and more without the outward appearance of high end luxury. It is just a Volvo (not a Mercedes or BMW!)
Comfort was the first consideration. The driving experience, visibility, heads up display and lane keeping make longer drives a breeze. The seats in the car are amazing. Both the driver and the passenger have the … same control features...both rare and a must!
The interior quality is first rate, leather and wood. The Harman Kardon stereo is superb!
The car is equipped with every safety feature currently available and more. Recently when the car detected a quick stop...the seatbelts retracted with modest force pulling us back into the seats...not a problem but a "safety surprise"!
It is a big car that drives effortlessly just like a midsize (gas mileage is not the same however) but it is truly peppy.
Given the paucity of cars in the market...we were quite lucky connecting with Valenti Volvo of Watertown, CT...they were the only dealer that only charged $500 dollars over invoice...not over list, but over invoice.
All other dealers we visited (Kia, Ford, Subaru, etc. were charging over list(with $5 -10K typical) often with lengthy waits for a car that might be coming in.
As promised our car was delivered on Christmas eve 2021...and they even provided a big red bow (like on TV). They were fantastic to work with.
Long ago we had a Volvo station wagon...this is not your grand dads Volvo!
So far so good we are very happy with our "stealth luxury car"!

2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid T8 Inscription 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 11/21 (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)
Sadly what should’ve been a peach of a car is turned out to be more of a lemon! My first couple of months of the car I was extremely happy with my purchase. Then all the previously mentioned in other reviews issues with the batteries and the module (whatever that is) started. I have had to leave the car for three separate occasions totaling nearly two months as they had difficulties … getting parts and what not. To make matters worse we don’t live near the Volvo service center so this has created major issues for us. Volvo is now a dirty word in our household. We wish we would have chosen something with better reliability and saved ourselves continuing headaches!
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 Volvo XC90, so we've included reviews for other years of the XC90 since its last redesign.
