Is the 2024 Volvo XC90 a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Volvo XC90 earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

The XC90 stands out for its timeless-looking design, upscale cabin presentation, and broad powertrain lineup that includes a plug-in hybrid. It is also positioned as a luxury SUV that emphasizes style, comfort, and safety.

The trade-offs are clear: it carries a steep price tag, its safety tech is not as innovative as some rivals’, and the vehicle is showing its age in several ways. Pilot Assist behavior is another drawback to keep in mind.

For shoppers who want a polished three-row luxury SUV with strong style and a plug-in hybrid option, it remains compelling. Good and great deals account for 36.2% of listings, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Volvo XC90 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The XC90’s reputation is built around safety, design quality, and a well-established platform that has aged well overall. The expert evaluation also describes it as a likeable plug-in hybrid SUV, even while noting that its flaws are becoming more noticeable as competition improves.

Its powertrain is described as lively once the gas engine joins in, and the plug-in hybrid setup gives you meaningful electric-only driving for short trips. The cost-effectiveness discussion also notes that the Recharge version can take years to pay back in operating-cost savings, which matters if you plan to keep the vehicle long term.

For used buyers, the main ownership risk is that aging hardware and premium repair costs can make a high-mileage example more expensive to live with over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Volvo XC90?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-mileage or heavily optioned examples. Focus on cabin condition, suspension feel, and how the driver-assistance systems behave in real-world use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The XC90 is offered in Core, Plus, and Ultimate trim levels. Base versions are more straightforward, while Ultimate brings richer materials and more upscale equipment such as massaging front seats, a premium headliner, an active air suspension, and a high-end audio system.
• Powertrain: You can choose B5, B6, or Recharge T8 powertrains. The B5 uses a turbocharged mild-hybrid four-cylinder, the B6 adds a supercharger for extra performance, and the Recharge T8 plug-in hybrid offers the most performance, the greatest efficiency, and 32 miles of estimated electric-only range.
• Safety package: The XC90 includes Pilot Assist, which pairs adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assist, plus large-animal detection and a notification system that alerts you when traffic ahead starts moving again. The system is not especially innovative, and Volvo does not offer hands-free driving assistance in this SUV.
• Infotainment: The dashboard centers on a 9-inch touchscreen with Google Built-in, Google Maps, Google Play, and Google Assistant. Apple CarPlay is standard, and Volvo provides these Google features at no cost for four years.
• Fuel efficiency: The Recharge T8 is expected to average 27 mpg in combined driving as a hybrid, and it offers 32 miles of electric-only range.

Which 2024 Volvo XC90 trim should I buy?

The 2024 Volvo XC90 is offered in 3 trim levels: Core, Plus, Ultimate.

Here's the short version:

• Core: This is the entry point if you want the XC90’s core design, safety, and powertrain lineup without stretching for luxury extras. It makes the most sense if you value the XC90’s fundamentals more than its top-end amenities.
• Plus: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it sits in the middle of the lineup and should balance equipment and price more effectively than the others.
• Ultimate: Choose this if you want the most upscale XC90 experience, including the richest materials and the most premium-feeling cabin presentation.

The XC90’s safety package centers on Pilot Assist and the usual expected safety features, but it does not include a hands-free driving system.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Volvo XC90?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay patient.

• Deal availability: 36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,577 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.50% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $44,763, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Volvo XC90's resale value?

The current average of $45,357 sits slightly below last year's $50,120.

That decline suggests the XC90 has become more accessible to used buyers, which can help demand in the near term. For a future seller, it also means you may be entering ownership after some of the steepest depreciation has already happened.

The current pricing range still leaves room for well-kept examples to hold appeal, especially if they are accident-free and properly maintained. Strong condition and desirable equipment should matter more when you eventually resell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Volvo XC90 safe?

The Volvo XC90 earns five-star ratings in every NHTSA assessment except rollover resistance, where it earns a four-star rating. It was also a Top Safety Pick+ in 2023.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The XC90 includes Pilot Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assist, along with large-animal detection and a system that alerts you when traffic ahead starts moving again. Those features cover the basics well enough, but the SUV does not offer hands-free driving assistance.

The main caveat is that Pilot Assist can struggle with curves, lane markings, and certain highway transitions. That means you should treat it as a helpful support system, not something you can fully trust in every situation.

Should I buy a 2024 Volvo XC90 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.50% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It remains an appealing choice in the luxury SUV segment with a plug-in hybrid option.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $39,121, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $45,357 average.
• It adds Google-based infotainment and updated mild-hybrid powertrains.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $52,120, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $45,357 average.
• It brings updated styling, materials, and feature offerings with improved ride comfort and handling.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, availability, and the XC90’s established strengths, the 2024 is the primary path to consider. If your budget is tighter, the 2023 is the smarter value play; if you want the freshest version and can spend more, the 2025 is the upgrade path.
