CarTell take
We haven't driven the XC90 yet. On paper, cargo behind the third row is modest at 302 L. EV cross-shoppers will be steered to the larger, newer EX90, so compare both before committing.
Why consider it
- True 7 seats standard rather than an optional row, plus the T8 Recharge offers 71 km WLTP EV range with 335 kW combined output and 2,250 kg braked towing.
What to know
- Underlying SPA platform is now over a decade old and the 5-year warranty trails some Korean and Japanese rivals.
Who it suits
7-seat families that genuinely use the third row, PHEV chargers, and tow rigs running caravans up to 2.4 tonnes. AWD is standard across the range.
