2025 Volvo EX90

Other brands have caught up, but Volvo maintains its deserved reputation for safety innovation and quality fit and finish. Volvos also stand out for its attractive exterior styling and for having some of the nicest interiors in the industry, with especially comfortable seats. The brand’s XC line of SUVs range from compact and two-row to midsized and three-row. Volvo also sells sedans and station wagons, along with several EVs, ranging from small to large. Most of Volvo’s new cars scored average or below-average in our reliability rankings, and the infotainment systems on many models are less intuitive than what you’ll find in competitors’ cars. Our testers have also found that Volvos aren’t great at absorbing bumps, and have average fuel economy. Among used Volvos, some models have proven to be reliable enough to earn our recommendation.

Volvo's new flagship is a seven-passenger, three-row, all-wheel-drive electric SUV called the EX90. It is equipped with cutting-edge safety technology, including a driver monitoring system that can pull over and call for help if a driver becomes unresponsive, and a highly accurate lidar sensor to support its advanced driving assistance systems. A minimalist, leather-free interior makes use of recycled materials and hidden lighting. The EX90 can drive up to 300 miles on a charge according to Volvo. It competes directly against the Rivian R1S and Tesla Model X, which are the other three-row electric SUVs currently on the market.
