Volvo XC90
The days of the XC90 are numbered with the all-electric EX90 set to become Volvo’s new three-row family hauler. For 2024, the XC90 is available with a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine (295 horsepower) featuring mild hybrid technology. Alternatively, it can be specified as a plug-in hybrid with 455 horsepower and 53 km of EV range. Comfort levels are what you’d expect in a Volvo, although third-row space is tight. Lackluster reliability is another problem yet again.
