385 Volvo XC90 cars for sale

If you have the budget then the plug-in hybrid T8 Recharge shows off the XC90 to its best. It’ll need plugging in regularly to deliver on its economy potential, but for such a large and pretty quick car, it can be surprisingly affordable to run with electric power hauling it around. For most people though, or those that can’t charge up regularly, there’s still a lot to be said for the diesels - the earlier cars badged D5, or later ones dubbed B5 D, with official economy nearly nudging 40mpg, and a good turn of pace. Spec-wise, you don’t need to look much above basic Momentum trim, which is already very well equipped.

Used Volvo XC90 fuel economy and performance

• Volvo XC90 B5 P: The XC90’s petrol engine uses 48V mild-hybrid technology to assist a 2-litre turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine. Power output is 250PS, for a 7.7-second 0-62mph time, while combined economy is 32.4mpg.
• Volvo XC90 B5 D: The B5 P’s diesel equivalent is also two litres in capacity and uses 48V mild hybrid assist. Power here is 235PS but it’s a touch quicker, at 7.6 seconds to 62mph, and more frugal at 39.7mpg.
• Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge: Volvo’s Recharge models are full plug-in hybrids, so you get the same 2-litre petrol four-cylinder boosted by electric assistance, for 310PS, and 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds. It’ll do 43 miles on battery power before the engine kicks in, too.

What used Volvo XC90 trim levels are available?

The trim levels you see below are how the XC90 range has looked since 2022, and befitting one of Volvo’s range-topping models, all are comprehensively equipped. Among earlier XC90s, you’re looking at Momentum, Inscription, and R-Design trim levels, which are roughly equivalent to the newer grades but may not be quite as well equipped, owing to their relative age.

• The Volvo XC90 Core includes a Google-based infotainment system, three-row climate control air-con, leather upholstery and the kind of safety tech you’d expect from a Volvo.
• The Volvo XC90 Plus gives you a better audio system, an opening panoramic glass roof, larger alloys and clever Active Bending Headlights.
• The Volvo XC90 Ultimate steps up to larger alloy wheels and features air suspension, as well as a head-up display, upgraded upholstery and a top-spec Bowers and Wilkins surround-sound audio system.

Used Volvo XC90 road tax

A new list price of more than £40,000 means that although all XC90s feature hybrid technology and therefore get a £10 VED discount compared to regular petrol and diesel cars, they’re also all subject to a hefty surcharge. As of the 2024/2025 tax year, you’ll pay £590 per year to tax an XC90. This figure is applicable for the first five years after the car’s first, CO2-based year of taxation, so from year seven onwards you’ll pay a lower rate.

How much is it to insure a Volvo XC90?

The XC90 is a large premium SUV, and has insurance group ratings to match. An earlier D5 in Momentum trim starts at group 39 (out of 50), while a later B5 P Core begins at group 40. The T plug-in hybrid in Ultimate trim tops the list with a group 45 rating. These ratings are par for the class however - a BMW X5 spans groups 43 to 50.
