Volvo Improves the XC90 for the 2025 Model Year
Volvo is readying the release of the new electric EX90, but it hasn’t forgotten about the three-row SUV that wore the “90” tag first. The 2025 XC90 gets refreshed styling, a new interior, and other design elements that bring it closer in line with its electric counterpart.
The new SUV retains its gas and plug-in hybrid powertrains, but its exterior features smoother lines and a more modern look. The seven-seater also got a new adaptive suspension system that Volvo said provides better stability and performance through all road conditions. The system can also raise the vehicle by 40mm and lower by 20mm, making it easier to enter and exit, or to load and unload gear.
Inside, the redesigned cabin features a reshaped dash with a more upright design, and Volvo made heavier use of recycled and sustainable materials throughout. A Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity stereo is available, and the XC’s 11.2-inch infotainment display runs Google built-in.
Volvo also improved the XC90’s safety technology. It uses radar and front cameras to detect lane drift and can safely steer the vehicle back into its lane to avoid a collision. The vehicle can use braking and steering inputs to avoid collisions with other obstacles, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals.
The new XC90 is available for order now, with production scheduled for later in 2024. Customer deliveries should start near the end of the year.

- Cprescott I used to love spy shots when cars changed so often. No point now in even paying attention to them since cars barely exist and the lard butt CUV/SUV's clog up our roads
- FreedMike Define "many," please. A hundred? Two hundred? A thousand?
- Wolfwagen There is a good article from Inside EV talking about some of the repair shops that specialize in FIsker mostly the Karma and Revo. At least one of the shops purchased an Ocean to develop fixes. The biggest issue is software. As I understand from the article, Fisker used a lot of off-the-shelf parts, So parts should be available, but the knowledge to troubleshoot and repair will be an issue
- Lou_BC Tires on a F350 crewcab diesel carrying a heavy load day in day out on gravel roads will get at least 50,000 km or 30,000 miles out of the OEM tires. Is there an alignment problem ? I don't buy the excess weight of an EV as an issue.
- Tassos WHEN I BOUGHT THE THREE WRECKED E-CLASSES AND HAD THEM REPAIRED INTO ONE RUNNING/DRIVING UNIT THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO BE WARY OF TIRE BITERS. I GOT AHEAD OF THAT PROBLEM BY BECOMING VOCALLY ANTI WOMEN AND ANTI CHOICE. NOW IM ALWAYS LONELY. BIDEN DOLLARS!
