Volvo has breathed new life into its 2025 XC90 SUV lineup, unveiling updates that maintain its position as a premium choice in the large SUV segment. With subtle design tweaks, a larger infotainment display, and additional sound insulation, the XC90 continues to differentiate itself from its fully electric counterpart, the EX90. Here’s a closer look at what’s new for the 2025 Volvo XC90.
Exterior Updates
While the 2025 XC90 retains its classic vertical tail lights, Volvo has introduced new graphics to give them a refreshed look. Unlike the C-clamp style lights on the EX90, the XC90's tail lights stay true to the model's heritage. Other distinctive features include chrome accents and traditional, non-flush door handles, setting it apart from the more futuristic EX90.
Interior Enhancements
The most significant changes are found inside the cabin. The XC90 now features a larger 11.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, up from the previous 9.0 inches, offering a 21% higher pixel density for improved resolution. Additionally, Volvo has added extra sound insulation to reduce road noise, enhancing the overall comfort and driving experience.
Engine and Performance Options
Volvo continues to offer the XC90 with a choice of petrol and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the available options:
