2024 Volvo XC90 Hybrid Overview

As one of the more stylish, practical, and popular midsize hybrid SUVs, the Volvo XC90 is bound to be at the top of your list. A simple and comfortable interior design, three rows of seats, and a choice of three powertrains give you a range of options to satisfy all your SUV needs. Our team at Volvo Cars Mission Viejo has put together this article to walk you through the different features of the XC90 hybrid Volvo, so you get an insight into what's available, what's desirable, and what to look out for.

2024 Volvo XC90 Specs

There are a few cosmetic changes for the new 2024 Volvo XC90. The 2024 edition of the XC90 will see the discontinuation of the dark theme and the black exterior trims, but the popular and attractive bright trim with chrome exterior will continue to be on offer. There's a new 22-inch wheel and tire package if you choose the Supercharged B6 Ultimate package, which gives you an increased range of options.

The key feature of this model is the engine, and the specs are pretty impressive. With 455 horsepower and acceleration from zero to 60 mph in just 5 seconds, it has all the power you'd expect. It's also incredibly efficient, offering 59 MPGe. The range for the all-electric model is 32 miles, which means that for most short trips, you can rely on the more efficient electrical engine and keep the gasoline engine in reserve for longer trips. Like all Volvo's hybrid electric vehicles, it's also notably reliable, with low maintenance costs, making the hybrid XC90 an excellent investment.

All models come with the excellent voice-activated Google Assistant, which allows you to enjoy its features hands-free. Google Play provides the apps and services needed to make the journey convenient. Google Maps offers you the best navigation service, with real-time traffic information and automatic rerouting to allow you to reach your destination on time. It's also worth noting the advanced air purifier available in all trims, which means that the air in the vehicle cabin is cleaner — it even allows you to monitor the particles outside the car.

Features and Trims

There are three basic trims available for the XC90: the Core, Plus, and Ultimate. Each one offers different options, but even the Core gives you superb features compared to similar SUVs, including the heated, tailored wool blend front seats, four-zone climate control, and a premium 10-speaker sound system. With the XC90, you get both comfort and style without needing to entertain higher trims. That said, both the Plus and Ultimate trims offer you features that are certainly worth considering.

The Plus trim brings things up a notch with lime wood interior accents, heated rear seats, 20-inch wheels, and interior illumination. With the Plus trim, you're also given park assist on the rear, front, and sides of the car. The Ultimate is the most attractive of the trims, with gray ash wood interior accents, 21-inch wheels, a powered passenger seat with memory function, and a crystal gear selector knob. An upgraded 14-speaker sound system gives you tremendous audio fidelity, allowing you to enjoy your favorite tunes at all times.

Safety is a paramount feature of Volvo cars, and the XC90 hybrid is no exception. Key safety features include the head-up display, which helps you to watch your speed, with turn-by-turn navigation providing additional support. Advanced driver-assistance technology keeps you centered and maintains a good distance from the car in front. Blind-spot monitoring also helps by subtly turning the wheel if you're in danger of drifting across the center line, and automatic braking can help prevent collisions. The 360-degree parking view offered on the Plus trim offers you a safe and secure parking process in even the tightest of spaces.

Dimensions

The XC90 is 69.9 inches high, 79.1 inches wide, and 195 inches long. The interior design makes good use of the available space, giving you the flexibility to use it for different purposes. There's room for seven in this vehicle, which makes it ideal for traveling with friends and family. In the third row, there's enough legroom for the kids or two passengers of at least 5 feet, 9 inches, so you can find space to transport all but the tallest of passengers.

The flexibility given to the use of space is particularly impressive. There are individual adjustments available on the second row so each passenger can adjust the seating as they choose. The outer seat backrests of the second row also fold completely to give you extra space and improve access to the third row. Each rear seat folds individually, which gives you the options you need to enhance the cargo space.

With the rear seats up, there's cargo space of 65.5 cubic feet, enough for four 29-by-20-inch suitcases. If you fold down the rear seats, you have an additional cargo capacity of 85.7 cubic feet for when you really need to shift a lot. An added perk of this vehicle is that, with a flat floor, there is no lip in the rear door, making it a lot easier to load and unload large objects. This kind of user-friendliness is a key feature of the car's practical design.
