Volvo XC90 T8 Review: the Seven-Seat SUV that Still Defines Luxury Family Travel
The XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid offers a 44.1-mile electric range with upgraded hybrid power and refined comfort, maintaining its leadership in seven-seat family SUVs.
- This week, Volvo's XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid features an 18.8kWh battery and a claimed 44.1-mile electric range, maintaining flagship status.
- Volvo leaned on a quiet evolution strategy for the XC90 refresh, applying an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach after the 2025 facelift while retaining much of the 2014 original launch's packaging.
- The XC90's packaging delivers a gigantic 680 litre boot for family use, while its improved infotainment system relies heavily on touchscreen and voice control due to scarce physical buttons.
- The T8 keeps the 2.0-litre petrol engine plus electric motor, producing 449bhp and 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds, with a top Ultra trim costing about £680.
- Despite strengths, the XC90 presents practical trade-offs for daily family use as owners face vulnerable low-profile tyres and a firm ride on 22" wheels, but lower CO2 emissions 30-32g/km justify the T8 for many families.
