FAQs
Here are a few of the most common questions we're asked about the new XC90 SUV.
Q: How does the Volvo XC90 compare to the BMW X5 in size?
A: The XC90 is longer than the BMW X5 SUV, and this allows it to have more cargo space and passenger space. Maximum cargo capacity in the Volvo XC90 is 85.7 cubic feet, and in comparison, it's 72.3 cubic feet in the BMW X5. This may be an important consideration if you plan on transporting a lot of gear around Petaluma or during road trips.
Q: Is the Volvo XC90 considered a luxury car?
A: Yes. The XC90 and the others in the Volvo lineup are considered luxury models. They have premium features and sleek exteriors, making them very attractive. Quality and style were important considerations when the design team developed these models. In the XC90, you'll have an elevated driving experience. It comes with several driver-assist technologies and an impressive infotainment system. It can even feature a panoramic roof, a handcrafted Swedish crystal gear shifter, and Nappa leather seats that can massage you on Santa Rosa roads.
Q: Is there a plug-in hybrid version of the XC90?
A: Yes. The Volvo XC90 Recharge is a plug-in hybrid model. It uses a gas-powered engine and an electric system, and these components work together to make 455 horsepower. It only takes about five seconds to go from zero to 60 miles per hour, so you'll have an exciting ride. Better yet, combined fuel economy is estimated to be 58 MPGe. You can travel way beyond the Bay Area before stopping for gas, and in pure electric mode, the XC90 Recharge can go up to 32 miles. The battery can be charged every night at home, but if you're off exploring and need to extend your range, you can fill up the gas tank and keep going.
Q: Is the regular XC90 a hybrid?
A: The regular XC90 uses a mild hybrid system. This allows you to go farther on a single gas tank, and it gives the SUV a little extra power boost. There are two options to consider, the first of which is the XC90 B5. This model can deliver 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and it can tow up to 5,000 pounds. The B5, standard with all-wheel drive, uses a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a hybrid system. The XC90 B6 also uses a hybrid system, but its four-cylinder engine has been supercharged and turbocharged. As a result, it can generate 295 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Like the B5, the B6 has all-wheel drive and can tow 5,000 pounds.
Q: What type of technology does the XC90 have?
A: The Volvo XC90 has a nine-inch touchscreen and Google built-in technology. Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play are all standard.
