XC90 Hybrid

Thanks to updates that came midway through the 2025 model year, the Volvo XC90 T8 hybrid looks just as fresh and contemporary as ever, inside and out. Beneath those clean Scandinavian lines lives a 455-hp gas-electric powertrain consisting of a turbocharged inline-four up front and an electric motor on the rear axle (nonhybrid versions are also available and reviewed separately). Together, they offer smooth operation no matter which parts are contributing, and a 4.8-second run to 60 mph is nothing to sneeze at. Our one dynamic gripe is that its suspension verges on harsh, especially over broken pavement. If you'd rather have something in the same general shape but with a bigger battery and no gas engine, the all-electric EX90 may be for you.
