2022 Volvo V90: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2022 Volvo V90
1st-generation V90 Cross Country on Volvo’s SPA platform; 2022 is the first U.S. model year with the B6 powertrain and Google-based infotainment, one year after the 2021 styling update.
Volvo positions the V90 Cross Country as a luxury wagon for drivers who want all-weather confidence and cargo space without moving to a taller SUV. Its identity centers on standard AWD, raised ride height, calm Scandinavian cabin design, and strong built-in safety technology. It is aimed at long-distance comfort and rough-weather security more than sporty driving, standing out by combining wagon practicality with a more upscale, less bulky feel than most midsize luxury crossovers.
For 2022, the V90 is sold in the U.S. as the B6 Cross Country, a raised luxury wagon focused on all-weather travel and long-distance comfort. It has standard AWD, a 9-inch touchscreen with Google services, Pilot Assist with adaptive cruise control and lane centering, and a panoramic moonroof.

“The infotainment system is horrible - distracting, dangerous and doesn't work (known bug but not yet fixed). Don't waste your $$$ on this car.”
“Comfort and safety are great. Map system and google assistant sometimes do not respond/work. Volvo on call not responsive a few times.”
