The Volvo XC90 has been named a Consumer Guide Best Buy for the third consecutive year, adding to the seven-seat SUV’s long list of accolades.
The $46,900 Volvo XC90 comes with a suite of standard equipment including Collison Mitigation, Laminated Panoramic Moonroof, and a 9-inch tablet-like touchscreen.
Several powertrain options are available, including a 250-horsepower or 316-horsepower Drive-E gasoline engine in either front or all-wheel-drive, and a 400-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain with an EPA rating of 62 mpg equivalent.
“We are so proud to have the new XC90 recognized by the experts at Consumer Guide,” said Anders Gustafsson, president, and CEO, Volvo Car USA.
“The XC90 once again is redefining the seven-passenger SUV category, putting as much value on style and design as it does on Volvo’s heritage of safety and practicality.”
Tom Appel, the publisher, Consumer Guide, said, “The XC90 offers a spacious, sumptuously trimmed cabin; decent fuel economy from its 4-cylinder engines; and loads of innovative and unconventional features that set it apart from its competition. When the XC90 was redesigned from the ground up as a 2016 model, it inaugurated a bold new design direction for the Volvo brand and garnered well-deserved rave reviews—and it remains one of the best vehicles in its class.”
