Volvo's very popular luxury SUV is set to undergo an overhaul in a couple of years, but for 2007 the XC90 received just some minor cosmetic changes. They're barely noticeable on the exterior but a bit more evident on the interior (more wood accents, metal trim on gauges, and additional leather trim). Two more paint colors were also introduced. Although this is a luxury vehicle, safety is still the first thing that comes to mind with the Volvo name. As such, all XC90s come standard with Roll Stability Control and Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, as well as the Side-Impact Protection System and Rollover Protection System. Buyers of this SUV are willing to pay to get the best for their families, and they get it indeed. Fog lights and daytime running lights are standard equipment on all XC90s, as are mirror-mounted turn signals. These features help to improve safety, but that's not the only helpful technology that you'll find: look closely for a teardrop-shaped feature at the base of the side-mount mirrors. It is, of all things, a camera, a component of the new BLIS (Blind-spot Information System), which uses digital imaging to detect things in the car's blind spots. Upon detection it triggers a warning light to alert the driver. Fancy that! On any XC90 trim, you can opt for the impressive bi-xenon headlights, which anticipate curves in the road and swivel up to 15 degrees to shine around the bends. The base-model XC90 is the first Volvo released with the much-anticipated I-6 engine, which was developed to replace the 2.5-liter, 208-hp of previous years. The state-of-the-art I-6 provides 235-horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque with no loss of fuel economy despite its larger size, thanks to keen technology. The two higher-priced trims come with a 4.4-liter V-8. Both engine types are transversely mounted, saving space to enhance the car's life-saving crumple zones. Fans of either transmission type will be satisfied, as the 6-speed Geartronic automatic transmission can also be shifted manually in situations when that is preferable (when towing, on curvy or snowy roads, or just to better feel what the engine can do). To fully load your XC90, go for the big-dollar options of the Navigation System and Dual-Screen Rear Seat Entertainment System. You can also opt for 18-inch wheels (or 19-inch on the V8 AWD Sport trim).
What owners say
"Overall, owners really appreciate the comfort, safety, and spaciousness of the 2007 Volvo XC90. Many drivers highlight its smooth ride and powerful performance, making it great for families. However, some owners express concerns about maintenance costs and reliability, noting that repairs can be expensive. Access to the third row also received mixed reviews."
This car makes loud, cracking noises when making wide left or right turns when backing out of parking spaces, like something on the axle is breaking. The transmission for the 2007 model is very difficult to repair due its placement and the repairs are very costly. Maintenance is expensive. For example, the thermostat hose had a leak last week, and it cost $493 for the thermostat housing to be replaced (labor included). They had to order the part directly from Volvo. It is a comfortable, safe, and wonderful car, but it is just too expensive to try to maintain.
July 30, 2014Such a beautiful car. Has all the features and safety you could ask for.
January 22, 2024The huge windshield gives you a great view, and it rides very smooth. Very quiet interior, and tons of room for kids, their stuff and groceries or whatever else you may be hauling. Really like the standard options, especially for safety; but the upgrades make it more fun. I actually called it a spaceship one day when I told someone about it. :)

May 16, 2015Smooth, powerful ride. Stylish. Became VOLVO lover after my XC90 AWD V8.. Great family SUV. Very user friendly, the longer you drive.. the more you appreciate it! It's a luxuries feel with powerful performance. Comfy seats. I recommend this XC90 AWD V8 to friends and family.
December 10, 2014Safety is important to me and this Volvo XC90 has that covered. This SUV is also fun to drive and has many options you can choose from. If you have young children the 3rd seat is great and east to get in and out of. Either engine will give you plenty of power but I choose the V8. I also liked the best audio system which provides great range and sound quality.
May 30, 2007The xc90 is the utmost choice family vehicle for daily driving. I love a fine car and when I'm driving alone or with family, I'm enjoying this ride. It's the best. Comfortable, smooth, fast, safe, drives like a car, plenty of room and power.
December 4, 2012The Volvo XC90 is one if the nicest vehicles Ive ever driven or owned, most comfortable seats ever and super quiet inside if the cabin...especially if the windows are all closed.
November 13, 2021Great ride.....Not Bad on gas...ample room for 7 people. Amazing 12 speaker surround sound stereo system with 6 disc CD changer. Sun Roof. GPS Nav System. All around great vehicle. Only thing I would ike to se is easier access to the back row seating. Would definatly get another one!
August 1, 2008Shes a great ride, looks great, feels great, and very reliable. Low maintenance, I wish I could find a woman like her lol. All over comfort level is luxurious, not too many buttons, everythings easy to understand, volvo makes a great suv and i wont drive anything else now except porshe, bentley, bmw, or some other high end vehicle. I did alot of research prior to purchase and this was my choice over range rover, audi q7, mercedes suv, and bmw x5. Get one and enjoy the ride!
