Overview
The 2026 Volvo XC90 Plus B5 Bright is a seven-seat AWD SUV with a petrol mild hybrid engine and an automatic gearbox, priced from $97,990 RRP, which is before on-road costs. It uses a claimed 8.1L/100km combined, and the boot holds 301 litres with all seats up or 1,950 litres with the rear seats folded. Braked towing is rated at 2,400kg, with 750kg unbraked. One thing to keep in mind is that there's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant. It suits families who need seven seats, a decent tow rating and a big load space when the rear seats are down.

Range in the real world
How far a tank really takes you once speed, load and towing are counted, not just the lab figureTowing and load
The 4WD and load hardware this variant lists, the rig calculator, the load plans and the cost to towCost to tow
The real fuel/energy cost once you hitch up. Pick a trailer and trip.
⚠ Not every limit could be checked: the manufacturer publishes no GCM for this vehicle, so this verdict rests only on the limits that are published.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.
Off-Road Capability
The wedges are drawn from this vehicle’s published approach, departure and breakover angles, and the water line marks its published wading depth.
Unladen figures. Approach, departure and breakover angles and ground clearance all reduce once the vehicle is loaded with passengers, cargo or towball weight, so treat these as a best-case guide.
Manufacturer-published figures, shown as a guide. Not independently verified and may vary by variant, trim, tyre or model year. Vehicle drawings are schematic and ride-height differences are exaggerated for legibility. Confirm with the manufacturer before relying on them for off-road planning.
Child seats and anchors
ISOFIX lower anchors clip a compatible child seat straight to the car's frame, the quickest, most mistake-proof fit.
Top-tether straps stop a forward-facing seat pitching in a crash. Australian law requires a tether on every forward-facing child seat, so rear seats almost always have them.
Most 5-seat cars carry 2 ISOFIX on the outer 2nd-row seats plus tethers across the row; some 7-seaters add anchors in the third row.

The 2026 Volvo XC90 Plus B5 Bright is a seven-seat AWD SUV with a petrol mild hybrid engine and an automatic gearbox, priced from $97,990 RRP, which is before on-road costs. It uses a claimed 8.1L/100km combined, and the boot holds 301 litres with all seats up or 1,950 litres with the rear seats folded. Braked towing is rated at 2,400kg, with 750kg unbraked. One thing to keep in mind is that there's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant. It suits families who need seven seats, a decent tow rating and a big load space when the rear seats are down.

There's 301 litres of boot with all seats up in the 2026 Volvo XC90 Ultra B5 Dark, and that grows to 1,950 litres with the rear seats folded. It's a 7-seat SUV with all-wheel drive and a petrol mild hybrid setup, priced at $105,990 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs. Claimed fuel use is 8.1L/100km on the combined cycle from a 71-litre fuel tank, and it's rated to tow 2,400kg braked. There's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant, which is worth knowing before you buy. It suits a family that regularly fills all seven seats and wants a solid towing figure.

The 2026 Volvo XC90 Ultra T8 Recharge Dark is a 7-seat plug-in hybrid SUV for families who want to do the school run and short commutes on electricity, with petrol in reserve for longer trips. It costs $130,990 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Its 25kWh battery gives a claimed electric-only range of 77km, and official combined fuel use is 1.8L/100km, a test that starts with a charged battery. We don't have a fuel figure for running on a flat battery yet, so if you can't charge at home it's harder to know what you'll use. Braked towing is rated at 2,400kg, which suits buyers with a caravan or boat to pull as well as a big family to carry.

Volvo XC90 Long-Range Plug-in Hybrid TBA
The Volvo XC90 long-range plug-in hybrid is an SUV with plug-in hybrid power that's been announced for Australia but isn't on sale yet. Australian reports quote a Volvo Car Australia spokesperson saying current planning has it arriving in the second quarter of 2027, though Volvo Car Australia's own website gives no date. Pricing hasn't been announced for Australia yet, and no Australian specifications have been published, so we don't have its fuel use, towing or other figures yet. It suits buyers who want a plug-in hybrid SUV and are happy to wait for local details before deciding.
