The '''Volvo XC90''' is a [[Executive car|mid-size luxury]] SUV<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rogers|first=Cameron|date=2020-08-28|title=Volvo XC90 Prices, Reviews, and Pictures {{!}} Edmunds|url=https://www.edmunds.com/volvo/xc90/|website=[[Edmunds.com]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Messi |first=Giovanni |date=2024-09-13 |title=Volvo, alla scoperta della XC90: il SUV ibrido che vuole stupire |url=https://www.fuoristrada.it/2024/09/volvo-alla-scoperta-della-xc90-il-suv-ibrido-che-vuole-stupire/ |access-date=2024-09-27 |website=www.fuoristrada.it |language=it-IT}}</ref> manufactured and marketed by [[Volvo Cars]] since 2002 and in its second generation.

The first generation was introduced at the [[North American International Auto Show#2002|2002 North American International Auto Show]] and used the [[Volvo P2 platform]] shared with the first generation [[Volvo S80]] and other large Volvo cars. It was manufactured at Volvo's [[Torslandaverken]] in [[Sweden]]. Volvo moved production equipment of the first generation to China and ended Swedish production at the end of 2014, renaming the car as the '''Volvo XC Classic''' (or '''Volvo XC90 Classic''').

At the end of 2014, the second generation XC90 was introduced. It is based on a new global platform, the [[Volvo Scalable Product Architecture platform|Scalable Product Architecture]] (SPA). Both generations of the XC90 have won ''[[Motor Trend]]''{{'}}s SUV of the Year award in their debuts.

In late 2022, the electric-only [[Volvo EX90|EX90]] was introduced as the successor of the XC90. However, in September 2024, Volvo launched the second facelift of XC90, and stated that both models would be sold together for the foreseeable future.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Miller |first1=Caleb |title=Volvo Backtracks on EV Goals but Teases ES90 Electric Sedan |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a62055123/volvo-backtracks-ev-goals-es90-teaser/ |access-date=7 September 2024 |work=[[Car and Driver]] |date=4 September 2024}}</ref>

In January 2001, Volvo debuted its ''Adventure Concept Car'' at the [[North American International Auto Show#2001|North American International Auto Show]], to gauge reaction to the styling and features of its upcoming SUV.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/volvo-adventure-concept-car-auto-shows |title=Volvo Adventure Concept Car |first=Dan |last=Pund |work=[[Car and Driver]] |date=January 2001 |access-date=15 July 2012 }}</ref> In November 2001, Volvo released a teaser image showing the frontal styling of the production version, named the XC90. Notable as Volvo's first SUV model, the styling of the XC90 recalled the concept.<ref name = "First pics: Volvo joins the off-road boom">{{cite web |url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/story2/30D245C4933B8F1ECA2572100028B883 |title=First pics: Volvo joins the off-road boom |publisher=John Mellor Pty Ltd. |first=Justin |last=Lacy |website= goauto.com.au |date=29 November 2001 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730150428/https://www.goauto.com.au/future-models/volvo/xc90/range/first-pics-volvo-joins-the-off-road-boom/2001-11-29/16281.html |archive-date=30 July 2017 |access-date=15 July 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref> In January 2002, the full XC90 unveiling occurred, at the North American International Auto Show.<ref name = "First pics: Volvo joins the off-road boom"/> Production began in August 2002, after Volvo's traditional mid-year shutdown, with the first XC90s coming out of the [[Torslandaverken|Torslanda]] factory in Sweden.<ref name = "First pics: Volvo joins the off-road boom"/>

At its North American launch for the 2003 model year, the XC90 was presented with a choice of two trim levels, the 2.5 T and the T6. The 2.5 T was the entry level version and offered a 2.5-litre ''B5254T2'' "T5" turbocharged inline-five engine, producing {{cvt|208|hp|kW}} and {{cvt|236|lbft|Nm}} mated to an Aisin co-developed five-speed ''[[Aisin AF33 transmission|AW55-50/51]]'' automatic. The T6 offered a 2.9-litre ''[[Volvo Modular engine#B6294T|B6294T]]'' twin-turbocharged inline-six with {{cvt|268|hp|kW}} and {{cvt|280|lbft|Nm}} mated to a GM-sourced, Volvo-modified four-speed ''[[GM 4T65-E transmission|4T65EV/GT]]'' automatic. While the 2.5T came standard with [[front-wheel drive]], a [[Haldex Traction]] [[all-wheel drive]] (AWD) system was optional. The T6 was offered only with the AWD system.

A [[Yamaha Motor Company|Yamaha]] [[V8 engine]] was added in 2005, whose 4.4-litre [[Volvo B8444S engine]] produced {{cvt|311|hp|kW PS hp|0|order=out}} and {{cvt|325|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Spence |first1=Steve |title=2005 Volvo XC90 V-8 First Drive |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15132100/volvo-xc90-v-8-first-drive-review/ |website=Car and Driver |access-date=14 September 2021 |date=1 November 2004}}</ref> Volvo sold just over 40,000 XC90 units in North America that year.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Volvo+XC90+Leads+Sales+With+Best+Month+of+the+Year.-a0140485788 |title=Volvo XC90 Leads Sales With Best Month of the Year. |publisher=Thefreelibrary |date=4 January 2006 |access-date=21 January 2012 |archive-date=25 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025082141/http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Volvo+XC90+Leads+Sales+With+Best+Month+of+the+Year.-a0140485788 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The XC90 won the [[North American Car of the Year]] award and ''[[Motor Trend]]'' magazine's [[Car of the Year|Sport/Utility of the Year]] for 2003.

[[Jeremy Clarkson]], ex-host of ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]'', has previously owned three XC90s,<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url= http://www.driving.co.uk/news/20-years-of-clarkson-what-cars-does-clarkson-actually-drive/ |title=20 years of Clarkson: What cars does Clarkson actually drive? |publisher=Driving.co.uk |date=14 March 2014 |access-date=19 September 2015 |archive-date=17 November 2016 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20161117100442/http://www.driving.co.uk/news/20-years-of-clarkson-what-cars-does-clarkson-actually-drive/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> and claims they were designed by "someone who must've had children due to its practicality."

===Facelifts===

====2007 update====

The XC90 was freshened for 2007 with a facelifted front and rear and a revised interior. The {{cvt|235|hp|kW PS}} 3.2&nbsp;L ''[[Volvo SI6 engine|SI6]]'' [[straight-6]] [[Internal combustion engine|engine]] replaced the {{cvt|208|hp|kW PS}} B524T2 [[straight-5]] in the base model for the US market. The 2007 XC90 debuted in April 2006 at the [[New York Auto Show]].

====2009, 2010, and 2012 updates====

For model year (MY) 2009, the XC90 received a new rear logo, featuring larger lettering with wider spaces between the "VOLVO" letters.

In 2010, all XC90 models received painted wheel arches (previously they were optional). In addition, a new, larger, circular Volvo logo appeared on the front grille.

For MY 2012, new LED tail-lights became available on certain models, although entry-level models retain the previous style. For MY 2013, the XC90 received a cosmetic refresh that included standard LED daytime running lights and taillights, and exterior revisions including body colour bumpers, rocker panels and silver trim replacing black plastic trim.

The refreshed model went on sale during late spring 2012 with a base price of {{USD|40,395}} for a front-wheel drive base model.<ref>{{cite news |language=en |url= http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2013-volvo-xc90-photos-and-info-car-news | work=Car and Driver |title=2013 Volvo XC90 Photos and Info-Car News |date=3 May 2012}}</ref> For the 2014 model year the base price is {{USD|39,700}}.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/2014/Volvo/XC90/FWD-4dr/Pricing |title=Volvo XC90 Price |publisher=NADAguides |access-date=9 December 2014 |archive-date=4 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160204213704/http://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/2014/Volvo/XC90/FWD-4dr/Pricing |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===First generation models===
====XC90 Ocean Race====
In 2001 Volvo became the main sponsor of an around-the-world sailing race, now called the [[The Ocean Race|Volvo Ocean Race]]. The [[2005–2006 Volvo Ocean Race|2005 edition]] was the first in which all competitors used the same boat known as the [[Volvo Open 70]], a {{cvt|21.5|m|ft}} racing yacht made for a crew of 10+ and to be robust enough to survive the open ocean.

In early 2006, Volvo released a special version called ''Ocean Race Edition''. Special blue colour, leather interior with contrast stitching and special interior trim.<ref>{{cite press release |language=en |url=http://www.swedespeed.com/artman2/publish/Volvo_News/Volvo_Introduces_Special_Volvo_Ocean_Race_Edition__472.html |title=Volvo Introduces Special Volvo Ocean Race Edition - Three Models with Unique Ocean Blue Livery |via=swedespeed |date=13 February 2005 |access-date=19 September 2015 |archive-date=6 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806021401/http://www.swedespeed.com/artman2/publish/Volvo_News/Volvo_Introduces_Special_Volvo_Ocean_Race_Edition__472.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> A total of 800 were made.<ref>{{cite web |language= en |url= http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1583246 |title=Mild curio Dad wagon - V8 Volvo Xc90 Volvo Ocean Race |work=PistonHeads.com |date=25 March 2016 |access-date=7 January 2017}}</ref>

====XC90 Sport====
Between 2006 and 2008 Volvo released the Sport trim, which eventually came to bridge the gap between the R series that was available for the S60 and V70, and the R design badge that ultimately usurped the R series. 

In the XC90 Sport, the engine was rated at the same power as in the non-Sport XC90s, but the suspension was markedly stiffer due to different shocks and added roll bars, giving it considerably less body roll in curves. Also, the power steering was tweaked to provide a more direct feel at higher speeds. Furthermore, it borrowed the blue background for the odometer in the dash and got 5-spoke Vulcanis rims. The Sport was marketed in Passion Red and also available in Black Sapphire, Titanium Grey and Electric Silver.

===Safety===
The Volvo XC90's front end is designed to absorb frontal impacts and also deflect any pedestrians up on to the hood of the vehicle rather than underneath the vehicle. Volvo has patented the unique frontal structure that features crumple zones, and predetermined positions for the engine and other ancillaries during a frontal impact.{{Citation needed|date=May 2008}}

The XC90's roof is reinforced with [[ultra-high-strength steel]] to help prevent a collapse in the passenger cavity in the event of a [[Vehicle rollover|roll-over]]. This Volvo system is marketed as [[Roll over protection structure|ROPS]], and is closely associated with the Roll Stability Control (RSC), [[electronic stability control]] (DSTC), and [[Side Impact Protection System|SIPS]] systems of Volvo to prevent and ultimately minimise accident forces. The [[National Highway Traffic Safety Administration]] [[Tilt test (vehicle safety test)|measures the roll-over risk]] of the 2013 XC90 as 17.9%.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shoppers/5-Star+Safety+Ratings/2011-Newer+Vehicles/Vehicle-Detail?vehicleId=7001 |title= 2013 Volvo XC90 SUV AWD| publisher= [[National Highway Traffic Safety Administration]]| website= safercar.com}} (click Rollover)</ref> The maximum [[Skidpad|sideway thrust]] is 0.77[[g-force|g]].<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url= http://www.caranddriver.com/volvo/xc90 |title=Volvo XC90 |first=Dave |last=Vanderwerp |work=Car and Driver |location=US |date=December 2016 |access-date=9 January 2017}}</ref>

The XC90's rear structure has been designed to absorb impact energy, with occupants are also protected by a whiplash protection system. Marketed as [[WHIPS]], the system cradles the occupants during a rear-end collision.

The [[Insurance Institute for Highway Safety]] awarded the Volvo XC90 their Top Safety Pick award. The XC90 was granted the IIHS's rating of "good" in front, side, rear and roof strength tests and has Electronic Stability Control as standard equipment to receive the award.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=452 |title=XC90 IIHS evaluation |publisher= Insurance Institute for Highway Safety |access-date=9 October 2010 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100920145516/http://www.iihs.org/ratings/ratingsbyseries.aspx?id=452 |archive-date=20 September 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

At the end of July 2007, Volvo Car Corp. announced the recall of 42,211 2005 model year XC90s for risk of battery short circuit and fire. The vehicles were manufactured in the Swedish [[Torslandaverken|Torslanda Plant]] between 7 June 2004, and 13 May 2005.<ref>{{cite news |language= en |url= http://www.azcentral.com/business/consumer/articles/0725biz-volvorecall25-ON.html |title= Volvo recalls SUVs due to fire risk |publisher= Bloomberg News | work=[[The Arizona Republic]] |date=25 July 2007 |access-date= 27 July 2007}}</ref> The recall only applies to cars in the US and Canada.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url= http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/07/26/business/EU-FIN-COM-Sweden-Volvo-Recall.php |title=Volvo to recall 42,000 cars in North America because of short circuit risk |work=International Herald Tribune |date=29 March 2009 |access-date=9 October 2010}}</ref> There have been no reports of short circuiting in the vehicles.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}

The XC90 is based on Volvo's new platform, marketed as Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) technology which features a stronger platform offering weight reduction while improving safety and efficiency.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}}

The new XC90 has a redesigned chassis with double wishbone front suspension and a new integral link rear axle incorporating [[Corvette leaf spring#Applications|transverse leaf spring]] of lightweight material.<ref name=CandD>{{cite web |last1=Stoklosa |first1=Alexander |title=10 Things You Need to Know About the 2016 Volvo XC90 |url=http://blog.caranddriver.com/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-2016-volvo-xc90/ |website=Car and Driver |access-date=2015-08-01 |archive-date=29 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171229021116/https://blog.caranddriver.com/10-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-2016-volvo-xc90/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=https://www.materialstoday.com/composite-applications/news/volvo-xc90-features-polyurethane-composite-leaf/ |title=Volvo XC90 features polyurethane composite leaf spring |first=Amanda |last=Jacob |date=15 October 2014 |access-date=2018-02-02 |archive-date=2 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180202190441/https://www.materialstoday.com/composite-applications/news/volvo-xc90-features-polyurethane-composite-leaf/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The new XC90 can also be equipped with electronically controlled air suspension with a choice of five modes.<ref name="The all-new Volvo XC90"/>

The interior features a 9" [[Tablet computer|tablet]]-like touch screen control console along with steering wheel controls and voice-control system, all linked to an interface, marketed as Sensus, which allows for access to cloud-based apps including [[Internet radio]], connected [[Automotive navigation system|navigation]], parking, music streaming, [[CarPlay|Apple CarPlay]] and [[Android Auto]], and a [[Wi-Fi]] [[Hotspot (Wi-Fi)|hot spot]] for using a tablet in the car. Other features include a gear lever made of [[Orrefors glassworks|Orrefors]] crystal as well as diamond-cut controls for the start/stop button and drive mode control, located on the centre console between the driver and passenger seats.

The highest level audio system in the XC90 features a 1400W [[Class-D amplifier]] and 19 [[Bowers & Wilkins]] speakers as well as one of the first air-ventilated subwoofers in a car.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}} Integrated into the car body, it turns the entire interior space into a large subwoofer. The latest sound processing software has been used to manage the timing of the sound and co-ordination of the speakers.

The vehicle's seats have also been redesigned with adjustable side bolsters, seat cushion extension and massage. The second row features three individual seats with recline adjustment. A sliding function can be used to create more legroom for the passengers in the third row or to increase loading space. An integrated child booster cushion in the centre seat is available. The Volvo XC90 seats five people in two rows of seating or seven people in three rows of seating. The five-seat layout version of the XC90 was discontinued after the 2017 model year, as third-row seating was made standard on all Volvo XC90s regardless of trim level and powertrain choice (with the exception of the Excellence Trim level) from the 2018 model year. Second-row captain chairs, which eliminates the centre seat in the second row and reduces capacity to six people, became optional on the Volvo XC90 in 2019 for the 2020 model year.

Volvo Cars' air purification system has been improved by adding a new carbon filter for more efficient capture of small, particles and pollen in the incoming air. The second generation XC90 offers a 360-degree view system capable of providing the driver with a birds-eye view, whereby information from all cameras is gathered and digitally integrated in a central processor to form a 360-degree image.

The Second Generation Volvo XC90 SUV feature ([[IntelliSafe]]), including Run-off-road protection package and Auto brake at intersection.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/the-new-volvo-xc90-is-the-worlds-safest-soccer-mum-car/story-fnjwucvh-1227038127922 |title=World's safest soccer mum car |first= Joshua |last= Dowling |website= news.com.au |date=27 August 2014 |access-date=19 September 2015}}</ref><ref name="Volvo XC90 is the world safest SUV">{{cite web |language=en-au |url=http://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/worlds-safest-family-suv-the-new-volvo-xc90-goes-on-sale-in-australia-today/story-fnjwucvh-1227467034948 |title=World's safest family SUV, the new Volvo XC90, goes on sale in Australia today |first= Joshua |last= Dowling |website= news.com.au |date=3 August 2015 |access-date=19 September 2015 }}</ref>

The Volvo XC90 safety systems include:
* Run-off-road protection package. In a [[Run-off-road collision|run-off-road scenario]], the all-new Volvo XC90 detects what is happening and the front safety belts are tightened to keep the occupants in position. To help prevent [[Spinal cord injury]], energy-absorbing functionality between the seat and seat frame cushions the vertical forces that can arise when the car encounters a hard landing in the terrain.<ref name = "The all-new Volvo XC90"/>
* [[City Safety with auto brake in intersections]]. The XC90 is the first car in the world with technology that features [[Collision avoidance system|automatic braking]] if the driver turns in front of an oncoming car.<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://ae-plus.com/news/xc90-features-integrated-radar-and-camera-system- |title=XC90 features integrated radar and camera system |website=ae-plus.com |date=6 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160201222843/http://ae-plus.com/news/xc90-features-integrated-radar-and-camera-system- |archive-date=1 February 2016 |access-date=19 September 2015 |url-status=usurped}}</ref> This is a common scenario at busy city crossings as well as on highways, where the speed limits are higher.
* [[IntelliSafe]] with [[City Safety]] has become the umbrella name for all of Volvo Cars' auto brake Collision avoidance functions, which are standard equipment in the new XC90. This equipment now covers vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians in front of the car during both day and night.
* [[Autonomous cruise control system|Adaptive Cruise Control]] with Pilot Assist [[traffic jam assistant]] enables safe and comfortable semi-autonomous driving by automatically following the vehicle ahead in [[Traffic congestion|stop-and-go traffic]]. Acceleration, braking and now also steering are controlled automatically.<ref name = "The all-new Volvo XC90"/>

===T8===

[[File:Volvo XC90 II, August 2014, 09.jpg|thumb|Volvo XC90 T8 [[plug-in hybrid]]]]

The T8 [[plug-in hybrid]] version of the XC90 is based on technology used in the [[Volvo V60 PHEV]].<ref name=XC90PHEV/> The batteries, which are situated at the centre of the vehicle, can be charged using an electric vehicle charger and can also store energy recovered by [[regenerative brake|regenerative braking]]. Volvo says that the XC90 T8 sacrifices no passenger or cargo space to accommodate the hybrid equipment.<ref name="AutoTrader.com"/> However, the tank capacity was reduced to {{convert|50|L|usgal impgal|1|abbr=out}}<ref>{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.volvocars.com/us/cars/new-models/xc90-t8-twin-engine/specifications |title=2016 Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine Specifications |publisher=Volvo Car Corporation |website= volvocars.com |access-date=28 May 2016}}</ref> for 2016–2018 models and the spare tire was removed.

The vehicle emits 49 g/km of CO<sub>2</sub> and has an [[all-electric range]] of {{cvt|43|km}} under the [[New European Driving Cycle]]. Normal driving is conducted in the default hybrid mode, but the driver can switch to a mode that uses only electric power, with zero emission driving.<ref>{{cite press release |language=en |url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/media/pressreleases/161950/volvo-xc90-t8-twin-engine-in-a-class-of-its-own-at-49-gkm-co2 |title=Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine in a class of its own at 49 g/km CO2 |publisher=Volvo Car Corporation |date=30 April 2015 |access-date=20 March 2016}}</ref> Under the [[U.S. Environmental Protection Agency]] (EPA) tests, at launch, the XC90 T8 had an all-electric range of {{convert|14|mi|abbr=out}}, with some petrol consumption (0.1 gal/100&nbsp;mi), so the actual all-electric range was rated between {{convert|0|to|13|mi|abbr=out}}.<ref name=VolvoXC90T8/>

The EPA, under its five-cycle tests, rated the 2016 [[model year]] XC90 T8 energy consumption in [[all-electric mode]] at 58 [[kWh]] per 100 miles, which translates into a combined city/highway [[fuel economy in automobiles|fuel economy]] of 53 [[miles per gallon gasoline equivalent|miles per gallon petrol equivalent]] (MPG-e) ({{cvt|4.4|L/100km|mpgimp}} petrol equivalent).

===Trim levels===
The second-generation Volvo XC90 is available in three distinct trim levels: Momentum, R Design, and Inscription. Momentum is the "base" design, and does not include features such as full leather-trimmed seating surfaces, woodgrain interior trim, or a GPS navigation system as standard equipment. The R Design features "Nubuck" upholstery and a sports exterior body kit, as well as dark trim accents on the exterior and interior. Inscription is the top-of-the-line design, and features full perforated Napa leather-trimmed seating surfaces, woodgrain interior trim, dual heated front, optional heated outboard rear seats, and additional bright accents on the exterior. For 2017, an "Excellence" trim was introduced (see below) with the "T8" [[plug-in hybrid]] (PHEV) powertrain as standard equipment, as well as additional luxury features.

==== XC90 T8 Excellence ====
For 2017, a new "Excellence" trim level was introduced as a luxury-oriented version of the XC90. The Excellence offered a four-passenger (front/rear) seating configuration, which included rear "lounge" bucket seats that were heated and ventilated. Additional features included the [[Bowers and Wilkins]] premium surround-sound audio system with amplifier, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, a dual-pane panoramic power moonroof, rear seat entertainment system, and the "T8" [[plug-in hybrid]] (PHEV) powertrain. There were a limited number of additional options available for the Excellence trim. The Excellence trim was discontinued following the 2020 [[model year]], leaving the Inscription as the top trim level of the XC90.

===2019 facelift===
In February 2019, for the 2020 [[model year]], the XC90 received a mid-cycle facelift.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sergeev |first=Angel |date=2019-02-22 |title=Volvo XC90 Facelift Unveiled With KERS For Better Fuel Efficiency |url=https://www.motor1.com/news/306472/volvo-xc90-facelift-revealed/ |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=Motor1.com |language=en}}</ref> The facelift included revised front and rear fascias includes a new front grille design, new exterior colours, new wheel designs, the Sensus infotainment system became compatible with Android Auto, and the addition of a new kinetic energy recovery braking system.

For the 2021 model year, the "T8" powertrain was renamed the "XC90 Recharge".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Palmer |first=Zac |date=2020-09-15 |title=2021 Volvo XC90 Review {{!}} What's new, prices, fuel economy, pictures |url=https://www.autoblog.com/reviews/2021-volvo-xc90-review |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=Autoblog: Car News, Reviews and Buying Guides |language=en}}</ref>

In 2022, for the 2023 model year, the base Momentum was replaced with the Core and Plus models depending on options, the R Design replaced with Plus and Ultimate models optioned with the Dark Theme, and the Inscription replaced with Plus and Ultimate models optioned in the Bright Theme.
