Is the 2023 Volvo XC90 a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Volvo XC90 earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

It fits you well if you want a premium three-row SUV that feels sophisticated rather than flashy, with a beautiful interior and impressive technology. The trade-offs are practical: limited cargo space and third-row access that can be difficult, plus touchscreen-heavy controls that can feel less intuitive than you’d like.

The XC90’s 33.3% good-or-great deal share suggests there are still worthwhile listings to find.

Is the 2023 Volvo XC90 reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The XC90’s reputation is reinforced by its strong safety-minded engineering and the way its mild-hybrid powertrains are described as smoother and more efficient than the outgoing setup. The performance notes also point to a reserved but enjoyable driving experience, with quick acceleration, a well-behaved automatic transmission, and strong braking feel.

Volvo’s mild-hybrid setup also helps the XC90’s stop-start behavior feel almost imperceptible, which is a nice day-to-day ownership perk. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic dependability and more about living with its touchscreen-dependent controls and premium-SUV complexity.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Volvo XC90?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with premium options. Focus on cabin condition, third-row usability, and whether the touchscreen-based controls feel acceptable to you in daily use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Core trim starts the lineup, while the Plus and Ultimate add more equipment and higher pricing. The base trim is the one most likely to leave you wanting if you expect the richer features and finishes that define the XC90’s appeal.
• Powertrain: The XC90 uses B5 and B6 mild-hybrid powertrains for 2023. 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, and it combines adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist to help maintain distance and keep you centered. Those features are part of the XC90’s standard safety story.
• Infotainment: The XC90 uses a 9-inch vertically oriented touchscreen with Google OS, Google Maps, Google Assistant, and built-in Android Auto functionality. It also displays navigation on the 12.3-inch driver information screen.
• Fuel efficiency: The mild-hybrid setup is described as improving fuel efficiency only modestly, by a few mpg at most.

Which 2023 Volvo XC90 trim should I buy?

The 2023 Volvo XC90 is offered in 3 trim levels: Core, Plus, Ultimate.

Here's the short version:

• Core: This is the entry point, and it gives you the XC90’s core luxury-SUV formula without pushing the price too high. It makes sense if you want the design, safety, and Google-based tech at the lowest starting point.
• Plus: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it sits in the middle of the lineup and can be upgraded with the B6 powertrain and six-passenger seating. It’s the trim to target if you want a stronger balance of equipment and price.
• Ultimate: This is the most expensive trim and comes standard with the B6 powertrain. It suits you if you want the most upscale version of the XC90 and are willing to pay for it.

Pilot Assist and the rest of the standard safety tech are included across the lineup.

• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.31% compared with last year.

What is the 2023 Volvo XC90's resale value?

The current average of $39,486 sits slightly below last year's $46,622.

That price movement suggests the XC90 has become more accessible for buyers, which can help demand in the near term. For a future seller, the current softness means you may not recover as much as owners did a year ago, especially if your vehicle is lightly equipped or has visible wear. On the other hand, a well-kept XC90 with strong equipment and clean history should still appeal to shoppers looking for a premium family SUV.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Volvo XC90 safe?

It earns a five-star rating from NHTSA and was named a Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The XC90’s standard driver-assistance suite includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and Pilot Assist, which helps maintain distance from the vehicle ahead from a standstill up to highway speed. Those features are standard equipment, so you do not need to move up the trim ladder to get them.

The main caveat is that the XC90’s safety tech is strong, but some of its controls are tied closely to the touchscreen, which can make everyday use less convenient than the safety hardware itself suggests.

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:

• 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.31% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings the B5 and B6 mild-hybrid powertrains and Google-based infotainment to the XC90 lineup.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $30,128, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $39,486 average.
• It emphasizes efficiency-minded options and a more eco-conscious personality.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $45,560, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $39,486 average.
• It remains appealing but carries over without changes.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price movement, strong safety, and modern tech, the 2023 is the primary path to consider. If your budget is tighter, the 2022 is the better price-sensitive alternative, while the 2024 makes more sense only if you specifically want to spend more for the newer model year.
