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.

Every grade gets the seven-seat layout, four-zone climate, heated front seats, a graphical head-up display, Pilot Assist, a 360-degree camera, Gen3 front rear and side parking assistance, blind spot with cross traffic alert and a power tailgate. Air suspension with the Four-C active chassis was a $3,750 option.

It is the only XC90 with air suspension and the Four-C active chassis and the panoramic roof standard, and it carries a repair kit rather than a temporary spare. Towing is 2350kg against 2400 for the mild hybrids.

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.

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.
