Volvo XC90 review - pictures

The latest Volvo XC90 has arrived to take on the likes of BMW, Audi and Land Rover.

As always, the Volvo XC90 promises top-notch safety features and plenty of equipment. 

The XC90 is more road-biased than off-road focused, so it offers a comfortable ride and plenty of grip in corners. 

The Volvo XC90 has a clean, high-quality, uncluttered dash finished with top-notch materials.

The Volvo XC90 is available in both petrol and diesel engines along with a plug-in hybrid.

The relaxed character of the XC90 suits a more sedate driving style than an overtly sporty one. 

The XC90 does suffer from some body roll in the corners if taken too quickly. 

The D5 diesel engine in the XC90 is powerful, but if it’s performance you’re looking for then go for the T6 petrol engine.

The refined engines in the XC90 means that the ride is quiet and composed. The four-cylinder diesel engine can make itself known when pushing on, though. 

The latest XC90 is instantly recognisable as Volvo's large SUV, but it also looks thoroughly modern and suitably imposing from the front. 

The T-shaped 'Thor’s Hammer' LED daytime running lights are a new addition to the XC90. 

The front grille on the XC90 features a new Volvo iron mark contributing to the car's new look. 

The third-row of seating in the XC90 is surprisingly spacious and easy to access. 

The boot capacity in the Volvo XC90 is a generous 451-litres, even with the rear-most seats up. 

Fold all of the rear seats down in the XC90 and a space of 1,951-litres is made available. 

The interior of the XC90 feels a special place to spend time thanks to high quality materials and a combination of leather, wood and metal. 

A large touchscreen infotainment system replaces the button-heavy dash of the old model. 

Volvo has made clever use of the space in the XC90 from front to back.
