2026 Volvo XC90 B6 Plus 7-Seater

The 2026 XC90 is a three-row luxury SUV that blends Scandinavian minimalism with family-friendly practicality. It competes with the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Audi Q7, offering a calmer, more safety-focused alternative. Driving feel is composed and refined, with a smooth ride and confident handling that flatters daily commutes and long trips alike. The cabin is a highlight: airy, minimalist, and filled with comfortable seats, plus a large touchscreen and available Bowers & Wilkins audio. The Plus trim adds a 360-degree camera, Pilot Assist, and heated rear seats over the Core, making it the sweet spot for families who want the tech without the Ultra's luxury extras. Its 2.0L I4 hybrid makes 295 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, and the mild-hybrid system smooths out stop-and-go driving while returning 23 mpg combined. The seven-seat layout with a second-row bench is standard here, and the integrated booster cushion in the second row is a clever touch for parents of younger kids.
