Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Core trim gives you the XC90’s elegant design and standard safety tech, while the Plus and Ultimate add more equipment and upscale touches. The base trim is the one most likely to feel lightest on convenience and luxury features.
• Powertrain: The XC90 uses B5 and B6 mild-hybrid powertrains with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The B5 makes 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the B6 makes 295 horsepower and 310 pound-feet.
• Safety package: Pilot Assist is standard, supported by adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The system can help maintain distance and keep you centered, but you should still evaluate how it behaves in real-world traffic.
• Infotainment: The XC90 uses a 9-inch vertically oriented touchscreen with Google OS, Google Maps, Google Assistant, and built-in Android Auto functionality. The system is smart, but many key functions live in the screen.
• Fuel efficiency: The mild-hybrid setup is intended to improve fuel efficiency and smooth operation, but the gains are described as modest.

• Ultimate: This is the most upscale version, and it comes standard with the B6 powertrain. Choose it if you want the most premium XC90 experience and don’t mind paying for it.

Should I buy a 2023 Volvo XC90 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 36.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.21% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It updates the XC90 with B5 and B6 mild-hybrid powertrains and Google-based infotainment.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $30,058, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $39,121 average.
• It offers an eco-conscious angle with available plug-in hybrid efficiency.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $45,357, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $39,121 average.
• It keeps the XC90’s design-forward appeal and adds a plug-in hybrid option.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, safety, and upscale appeal, the 2023 is the smart default. If your priority is lower purchase cost, the 2022 is the better value play. If you want to spend more for a newer model-year alternative, the 2024 is worth a look.
