Is the 2025 Volvo XC90 a good car?

The XC90 earns an 8.33/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

You get a refined three-row midsize SUV with updated styling, materials, and feature offerings, plus mechanical tweaks aimed at improving ride comfort and handling. The trade-offs are that semi-autonomous driving is not available and the top-tier sound system costs extra even on the top trim. For you, that means the XC90 makes the most sense if you want a polished luxury family SUV with style and substance rather than the most advanced hands-free tech. 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Volvo XC90 reliable?

The XC90’s reputation leans on Volvo’s long-standing safety-first image, and the 2025 model keeps that focus with standard advanced driver-assistance systems that worked smoothly during testing. Its powertrains are straightforward for the class, with mild-hybrid options that improve fuel economy and smoother power delivery, plus a plug-in hybrid that can deliver up to 33 miles of electric driving when charged regularly. The B5 and B6 are the easier ownership choices if you want to avoid charger dependence, while the T8 asks more of you but adds electric capability and strong output. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the plug-in hybrid’s benefits depend on consistent charging and can be less hassle-free than the mild-hybrid versions.

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.

Even with that strong figure, you should still run a vehicle history report and verify service records before you buy. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the electronics, driver-assistance systems, and any signs of uneven wear or prior bodywork. Focus on whether the cabin features, seating layout, and powertrain match how you plan to use the SUV.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Core, Plus, and Ultra each build on the XC90’s elegant design and updated cabin, but the base trim leaves out some of the richer touches. The crystal shift knob is standard at the Plus and Ultra trim levels, and the top trim adds more premium equipment, so you should compare feature content carefully if you want the most upscale feel.
• Powertrain: The B5 mild hybrid is the most user-friendly choice, with 247 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. The B6 adds turbo- and e-supercharging for 295 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, while the T8 plug-in hybrid combines a four-cylinder engine, electric motor, and 18.8-kWh battery for 455 horsepower, 523 lb-ft of torque, and up to 33 miles of electric range.
• Safety package: Standard advanced driver-assistance systems include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping aid, lane-departure warning, and the blind-spot information system. It also includes active collision-avoidance features such as intersection auto brake and large animal detection, but it does not offer a hands-free highway-driving system.
• Infotainment: The touchscreen is larger, sharper, and runs a new user interface with a more accessible menu layout. 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 B5 uses mild-hybrid support for improved fuel economy, and 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 value-oriented starting point if you want the XC90’s style, safety, and standard all-wheel drive without stretching into higher pricing. It suits you best if you care more about the core three-row luxury-SUV experience than extra premium touches.
• Plus: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds more of the XC90’s upscale character, including the crystal shift knob and richer interior presentation. If you want the sweet spot between price and luxury feel, this is the trim to target.
• Ultra: Choose this if you want the most complete XC90 experience, including the head-up display and the highest-end audio option availability. It makes the most sense if you plan to load up the SUV and want the most premium cabin atmosphere.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but the hands-free highway-driving gap remains no matter which trim you choose.

What is the 2025 Volvo XC90's resale value?

The current average of $52,218 sits slightly below last year's $58,065.

That decline suggests the XC90 has softened in the used market, which can help you buy more confidently today. If you sell later, you should expect resale value to depend heavily on trim, mileage, condition, and whether the vehicle has the more desirable equipment. The good news is that strong brand appeal and a premium image can still support demand, especially for well-kept examples with clean history.

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, so you should not expect that level of automation here.

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:

• 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.07% compared with last year.
• It brings a second substantial refresh with updated styling, materials, feature offerings, and ride-improving mechanical tweaks.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $45,560, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $52,218 average.
• It remains an appealing choice in the luxury SUV segment.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest XC90 with updated design and features, the 2025 is the better pick. If your priority is saving money and you can live without the refresh, the 2024 is the smarter value play.
