Volvo XC90
After getting an update for the 2025 model year (or 2025.5, actually), the second-generation XC90 is celebrating a decade on the market. Volvo's three-row midsize SUV remains as comfortable, stylish and attractive as ever, with the cosmetic tweaks giving it a slightly fresher look. Complaints include a less-than-perfect infotainment system and noisy engines. On that note, the XC90 offers two options: mild hybrid (295 horsepower) or plug-in hybrid (with a range of 53 km).
