2024 Volvo XC90 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Volvo XC90 is a three-row midsize luxury SUV that is offered with the choice of three powertrains. The B5 is a mild hybrid with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (247 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque). The B6 uses the same engine but with an increase in power output (295 hp, 310 lb-ft). Both are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. The Recharge T8 is a plug-in hybrid with an electric motor powering the rear wheels (combined output 455 hp, 523 lb-ft) and an electric-only range of 32 miles on a full charge.

Within these engine choices, you can select from three trim levels: Core, Plus and Ultimate. Seating for seven is standard, but you can select second-row captain's chairs with the B6 and Recharge engines in either Plus or Ultimate trim, reducing passenger capacity to six.

Core
Standard feature highlights include:

  • 19-inch alloy wheels (20-inch for Recharge)
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Roof rails
  • Synthetic leather upholstery (genuine leather for B6 and Recharge)
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Heated front seats
  • Digital instrument panel
  • Power-folding rear headrests
  • 9-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Google-based navigation
  • 10-speaker audio system
  • Satellite radio
  • Apple CarPlay smartphone integration
  • Remote monitoring and control via a smartphone app

Standard safety features include:

  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the vehicle back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Traffic sign reader
  • Automatic high beams

Plus
The midrange trim is offered in the Bright theme as well. Beyond the Core features, the Plus trim adds:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Headlight washers
  • Leather upholstery
  • Wood interior trim
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated rear seats
  • Integrated second-row child booster seat
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Ultimate
The luxurious Ultimate trim is only available with the B6 engine and tops off the features list with:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Adjustable front-seat side bolsters and extendable cushions
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Rear seat window shades
  • Crystal shift knob
  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

Many features are available as options on supporting trims. Add-ons exclusive to the Ultimate trim include:

  • Air suspension (can raise or lower the ride height of the vehicle)
  • Massaging front seats
  • Synthetic suede headliner
  • Wool blend upholstery (removes front seat ventilation and adjustable bolsters)
  • 19-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system

Which XC90 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the Base trim level for most people because it comes with all of the basic features expected of a luxury SUV. You won't get some of the luxury and seat upgrades, nor are they available as options, but you will get plenty of safety features. We also suggest stepping up to the B6 powertrain since it's more powerful and doesn't significantly affect fuel economy.
