What's New for 2025?
Essentially unchanged this year, the XC90 Cross Country keeps on partying like it's 2017, because that's when the current generation debuted. It still looks great, but Volvo has left it on the vine for an especially long time.
FAST FACTS
"The V90 Cross Country is so handsome that we want to forgive it for everything, including being about a decade old by now and failing to impress with its acceleration, fuel economy or cabin technology. Time can't rob this Volvo of its SUV-grade cargo capacity and tow rating, and again, wow, that styling — it is a wagon lover's dream. By the way, the V90 XC is also the antidote to the S90 sedan's silly stretched wheelbase, which is aimed at Chinese consumers with chauffeurs. Although the V90 uses the same platform, it retains its original wheelbase and perfect proportions. Moreover, unlike the made-in-China S90, the V90 Cross Country is still built in Sweden."—Ranked #3 out of 6 Luxury Wagons
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
This would be a lot less complicated if the V90 Cross Country weren't so damn sexy, because both its acceleration and its fuel economy are unremarkable for a $60k luxury vehicle. But wow, does this wagon look great. It can also tow 3,500 pounds and haul as much stuff as many SUVs.
