The 2026 Volvo XC90 Plus B5 Bright is a seven-seat premium SUV powered by a 2.0-litre petrol mild-hybrid engine delivering 183kW and 350Nm, making it ideal for families wanting Scandinavian quality and safety without stepping into full hybrid territory. Its standout strength is Volvo's legendary safety credentials-it comes with a comprehensive five-year warranty, while the mild-hybrid system achieves a respectable 8.4L/100km fuel consumption for its size and capability. One consideration is the estimated annual running costs of around $3,666, which reflects premium ownership; however, the 810-litre boot, 2,400kg towing capacity and all-wheel-drive setup justify the investment for buyers serious about practicality and long-term reliability.

The 2026 Volvo XC90 Ultra B5 Dark is a seven-seat premium SUV that suits families wanting Scandinavian design, safety credentials and practicality, backed by a five-year warranty.

One consideration is running costs, which average around $3666 annually, so factor this into your ownership budget alongside the asking price.

The 2026 Volvo XC90 Ultra T8 Recharge Dark is a seven-seat premium PHEV SUV that suits families wanting luxurious everyday comfort with reduced running costs-averaging around $1351 annually-plus a genuine 77-kilometre electric range for commutes. Its standout strength is the combination of 340kW of power and 709Nm of torque delivering confident performance while sipping just 1.8L/100km on the combined cycle. One consideration is that at 2446 kilograms, regular charging discipline is essential to realise the fuel economy and emissions benefits; infrequent charging reverts it to a thirsty petrol SUV, so buyers without home charging access should think carefully.

The 2017 Volvo XC90 D5 AWD is the second-generation (SPA) XC90 as Volvo Car Australia listed it, with a 1969 cc four-cylinder diesel engine making 173 kW and 480 Nm, an 8-speed Geartronic automatic and all-wheel drive. Volvo's Australian specification page prints a 4950 mm length, 2984 mm wheelbase, 2400 kg towing capacity and a 2750 kg total (gross) weight, and the Green Vehicle Guide records 5.9 L/100km combined and 154 g/km CO2 for a 7-seat body. It was sold in Momentum, Inscription and R-Design trims, but the surviving page describes the engine rather than a trim, so equipment is not listed here. This model year has been superseded and is no longer sold new, no price is shown, and no ANCAP rating is recorded on this row.
