The Volvo EX90 electric car deliveries will begin this month, but for those who aren’t yet interested in going all-electric, the Swedish car company has just introduced a new Volvo XC90 2025.
We wouldn’t say completely new, because the changes to VolvoThe ‘biggest SUV’ is closer to a drastic refresh than a complete rethink, but there’s still a lot to explore here. A new front and rear fascia bring XC90 a new look with a prominent diagonal grille pattern right from the start. The usual Thor’s Hammer headlights now flow into the grille, and the LED light pattern has been slightly redesigned. The same goes for the taillights, and along the sides you’ll find new wheel designs.
Mechanically, it looks like the XC90 is largely a carryover. Volvo is offering the B5, B6 and Recharge models, so the line-up will include a PHEV option and two petrol options, supplemented by a 48-volt mild-hybrid assist system. Specifications for these models aren’t yet available, but we suspect they’ll reflect tight 2024 model. One way to improve the driving experience is through new standard shock absorbers that continuously adapt to road conditions to improve the ride. The previously available air suspension will remain an option for 2025.
The XC90’s biggest updates are inside the cabin, where Volvo introduces a new dashboard and larger central touchscreen, adopting software seen in the EX30 And EX90. Instead of using all touch without any buttons like EX90However, the XC90 retains the same row of physical controls below the touchscreen as before. The center console design with its beautiful start knob remains, as does the gorgeous Orrefors crystal gearshift knob.
New vertical air vents better fit the shape of the screen, and the new dashboard itself shows off beautiful recycled fabrics and trim. There’s also ambient lighting throughout the cabin to provide illumination at night. Plus, Volvo says it’s tweaked the center console to make room for an additional cup holder and moved the cordless phone. charger behind the central tunnel. The truly discerning will appreciate the soundproofing Volvo has installed throughout the vehicle to reduce road and wind noise.
Volvo says the new 2025 XC90 can be ordered starting today, with first deliveries starting in late 2024. But make sure you request the new model when you order, because this update is technically a 2025 ½ model year vehicle, as Volvo sold the pre-refresh XC90 for 2025 and will continue to do so until the new model year.
