Volvo crossover cx series5/17/2023 ![]() Where BMW and Mercedes dashes are festooned with design flourishes and obvious luxury, the XC90 is laid back and staid. The vibe is different from any of the German or Japanese luxury machines. No matter the trim level, the 2023 Volvo XC90’s cabin is a lesson in refined minimalism. What are the XC90’s interior and in-car technology like? Trim levels are reorganized into Core, Plus and Ultimate. The XC90 also gains over-the-air update capability, which means Volvo can send remote software updates to the vehicle, improving features over time. The XC90 switches to Google-based infotainment software for 2023, incorporating Google Maps, Google Play and Google Assistant voice control. The XC90 Recharge remains a plug-in hybrid option. The new B5 and B6 mild hybrids therefore replace the outgoing T5 and T6 engines. The 2023 XC90 switches to mild-hybrid powertrains as standard, complete with integrated 48-volt battery and an integrated starter/generator added to the existing 2.0-liter engines.

Volvo will release its full-size EX90 as a battery-electric successor to the XC90, expected to go on sale in 2023 with an all-new design and more safety tech than ever before. If you want something all-electric, though, you’ll have to wait just a little longer. The XC90 is getting a little long in the tooth as it’s now in its eighth year since a complete redesign, but its unique, crisp design and modern technology hide its age well. The XC90 is also comfortable and roomy, seating six to seven passengers in an interior that’s comfortable and interesting to look at without feeling overwrought or ostentatious. What Volvo does offer is oodles of safety, with excellent crash test results year after year, and a robust suite of safety and driver assistance technology that doesn’t feel like it’s working against you while you’re driving. It won’t provide the sporty driving dynamics like some of the performance models from BMW and Mercedes, but there’s plenty to like about Volvo’s flagship crossover. ![]() The plug-in-hybrid XC90 Recharge version raises the price considerably, but provides a generous amount of all-electric range while being the most powerful and fun XC90 by far. For 2023, the standard powertrains become mild-hybrid designs based on a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. The 2023 Volvo XC90 is a three-row, full-size SUV that we like for its tasteful design, comfortable interior space and excellent safety. Thanks to the 12.4 kWh battery pack, the 408 PHEV can do a pure electric range of up to 63 km, measured under the WLTP cycle.Īlso Read: Singapore's getting the new Peugeot 408 crossover and it's got Malaysians wanting some French flair as wellĬloser to home, could Bermaz offer this eye-catching fastback crossover in Malaysia?
