Volvo V90

Year

Photo: Volvo

The Car Guide rating 3.5/5 69% Detailed ratings

Price $70,550 – $76,800 Payments

Fuel consumption 8.1 – 10.7 L/100km

Compare Used vehicles

As a wagon based on the S90 sedan, the V90 is available exclusively in Cross Country trim in Canada. Its practical body style offers more trunk space, not to mention a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. The only powertrain option is a mild hybrid system delivering 295 hp and achieving combined fuel consumption of 9.5 L/100 km. It's a shame that the V90’s resale value and reliability don't measure up to an otherwise comfortable and pleasant-to-drive vehicle.

12 Vehicles That Will or Could Get the Axe Soon

Welcome to another edition of the “Doomed Dozen.” Every year, automakers collectively launch and discontinue dozens of vehicles.

2017 Volvo V90: Do We Really Want an SUV?

If we think buying anything other than a sport utility vehicle is un-cool, we should think again.

2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country: King of the Ice

ÅRE, Sweden — If there’s one thing selling faster than hotcakes in Canada right now, it’s sport utility vehicles. With very few exceptions, however, they aren’t particularly utilitarian or sporty. Thankfully, a few tough, svelte and spry steeds are effortlessly breezing past the herd that so often drags its hooves. March 1, 2017

2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country: Taller, Still as Seductive

Even though SUVs are more popular in the U.S., Canadians love their wagons. After all, they’re comfortable, spacious and offer a more eye-catching and refined style (in my opinion, anyway).
