The model
Read full Volvo XC90 reviewDespite being long in the tooth, the Volvo XC90 is a fine seven-seat SUV that combines a high quality and versatile interior with plenty of kit and impressive safety credentials. The Audi Q7, BMW X7 and Land Rover Defender 110 are all better all-rounders, but then they cost more. Go for the B5 petrol in entry-level Core trim if you want the best value for money.
The trim
See full equipmentThis entry-level model comes with all the kit you need, including 19in alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, a powered driver’s seat, heated front and rear seats, four-zone climate control, a 12.3in digital instrument panel and a 9.0in touchscreen infotainment system.
The engine
See full engine specsThe plug-in hybrid T8's combination of a petrol engine and electric motor makes it properly quick. It's easily the fastest XC90 you can buy, getting from 0-62mph in just 5.4sec – but only really makes sense if you're a company car driver.
