Is the 2025 Volvo XC90 reliable?

The 2025 XC90 is presented as a polished, functional SUV with a reputation for safety and a cautious, practical approach to features. Its standard advanced driver-assistance systems operated smoothly in testing, and the updated ride-tuning aims to improve comfort and handling.

The B5 and B6 powertrains are described as the more user-friendly, hassle-free choices because you do not need to manage charging to avoid fuel-economy penalties. The plug-in hybrid T8 can deliver strong efficiency, but it depends on regular charging to keep its battery working as intended.

Volvo also says the refresh includes mechanical tweaks aimed at improving ride comfort and handling, which supports the XC90’s role as a polished family SUV. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is choosing a powertrain that does not match your charging habits or driving routine.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Volvo XC90?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the specific example you’re considering has a clean record. A pre-purchase inspection is worth prioritizing, especially if you’re looking at a higher-trim or more heavily optioned vehicle. Focus on overall condition, feature operation, and whether the equipment matches the listing description.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Core, Plus, and Ultra trims differ in equipment, with the Crystal shift knob standard at the Plus and Ultra trim levels. The cabin updates and richer materials make the higher trims feel more upscale, but the base trim will leave out some of the nicer touches.
• Powertrain: The XC90 offers B5, B6, and T8 powertrains. The B5 is the mild-hybrid base choice, the B6 adds turbo- and e-supercharging, and the T8 plug-in hybrid adds an electric motor and battery pack for up to 33 miles of pure-electric range.
• Safety package: Standard advanced driver-assistance systems include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping aid, lane-departure warning, blind-spot information system, intersection auto brake, and large animal detection. The vehicle does not offer a hands-free highway-driving system.
• Infotainment: The touchscreen is larger, sharper, and uses a new interface with a fixed menu bar and contextual bar. Apple CarPlay is standard and works wirelessly or via USB-C cable, and the top-end Ultra trim adds a head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: The T8 plug-in hybrid offers up to 33 miles of pure-electric range and an EPA-rated max of 27 mpg.

Which 2025 Volvo XC90 trim should I buy?

The 2025 Volvo XC90 is offered in 3 trim levels: Core, Plus, Ultra.

Here's the short version:

• Core: This is the entry point and the best fit if you want the XC90’s core style, safety, and three-row practicality without paying for extra luxury touches.
• Plus: This is the best-value trim because it adds more of the XC90’s upscale character, including the Crystal shift knob and richer interior material choices.
• Ultra: Choose this if you want the most premium experience, including the head-up display and the upgraded audio options available at this level.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but the XC90 still does not offer a hands-free highway-driving system.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Volvo XC90?

What is the 2025 Volvo XC90's resale value?

The current average of $52,280 sits slightly below last year's $58,749.

That price movement suggests the XC90 has softened enough to help today’s buyers, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive resale environment. If you buy near the current average, you may have less cushion if the market continues to cool. On the other hand, a well-priced example bought near the low end of the range should be easier to justify later if you keep it in strong condition.

Is the 2025 Volvo XC90 safe?

The 2025 Volvo XC90 is too new to have been crash-tested by independent safety organizations, but its predecessor earned a Top Safety Pick+ award from IIHS and five-star overall ratings from NHTSA.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The standard advanced driver-assistance systems include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping aid, lane-departure warning, blind-spot information system, intersection auto brake, and large animal detection. Those systems are described as working smoothly and without erroneous intervention during testing.

The main caveat is that the XC90 does not offer a hands-free highway-driving system, even though some rival midsize SUVs do.

Should I buy a 2025 Volvo XC90 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.01% compared with last year.
• It adds updated styling, materials, feature offerings, and mechanical tweaks aimed at improving ride comfort and handling.

Consider the 2024 if:

• It remains appealing for its timeless styling and range of powertrains.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest XC90 with the latest updates and can stretch for it, the 2025 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the smarter value play and still delivers the XC90’s core strengths.
