Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-2205 This is the new Volvo XC90! It’s the second facelift this version of the XC90 has received, having originally been released way back in 2015! The question is, how much has changed compared to the two previous iterations? And is it still one of the best 7-seaters around? Mat’s about to take a closer look and find out. In terms of the design, there are a few updates over the previous edition. Up front, there’s a new bumper, a redesigned grille, and some updated headlights. Along the side, it’s pretty much the same as it was before, although that’s no surprise given the body panels have been retained from the previous edition. Around the back, the car is still almost identical to before, although options are fairly limited anyway when you’re a big seven-seat SUV! On the inside, there are a few notable changes. The infotainment screen now sticks out from the dash, and the operating system has been updated to Android Auto. The cabin is covered in soft-touch materials, and the general layout is still relatively the same as before. The digital dial screen has been retained, although it’s quite dark - competitors like the Audi Q7 certainly do it better. Regarding engines, there are only two to choose from. Both are 2-litre 4-cylinders, with the entry-level coming with a mild hybrid set-up that delivers 250hp. A plug-in hybrid option is also available, which adds a bigger motor and helps to produce 455hp. Both setups come with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The new XC90 certainly looks the part, but it doesn’t come cheap! The entry-level starts from £65,000, with the range-topper (the car we have for this video) costs around £78,000. So is it worth it? Stick with Mat to take a closer look!
