What's New for 2024?
The current XC90 once again carries over unchanged as it enters its jaw-dropping 9th year of production for 2025. There's no denying its understated good looks, but little else is truly competitive anymore about Volvo's venerable midsize SUV. Note that a significant refresh — but not a full redesign — is in store for 2025.

FAST FACTS
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 2024 Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The XC90 PHEV is frankly the only truly competitive variant in the lineup. Whereas the non-hybrid B5 and B6 struggle to keep up with swifter and more fuel-efficient rivals, the Recharge T8 plug-in-hybrid powertrain solves all of that with its prodigious 455-horsepower output and useful 32 miles of all-electric range, which gives way to a respectable rating of 27 mpg in mixed driving in gas-electric hybrid mode. You'll obviously pay a lot more to get into an XC90 Recharge T8, but it's the only XC90 we can recommend.
