The model
Read full Volvo XC90 reviewDespite being long in the tooth, the Volvo XC90 is a fine seven-seat SUV that combines a high quality and versatile interior with plenty of kit and impressive safety credentials. The Audi Q7, BMW X7 and Land Rover Defender 110 are all better all-rounders, but then they cost more. Go for the B5 petrol in entry-level Core trim if you want the best value for money.
The trim
See full equipmentUpgrading to mid-spec Plus is tempting to get air suspension, but it does demand a considerable price premium. For that you also get a panoramic roof, a Harman Kardon sound system, ambient interior lighting and sun blinds on the rear side windows.
The engine
See full engine specsWith its 0-62mph time of 5.4sec, the T8 plug-in hybrid is quick, and it can officially travel up to 44 miles on electric power alone. It's the best choice if you'll be running an XC90 as a company car.
