2023 Volvo V90: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2023 is the V90 Cross Country’s expansion from one trim to two. The previous B6 Cross Country became the B6 Plus Cross Country, and a more comfort-focused higher trim joined the range; there was no redesign or major mechanical update.
About the 2023 Volvo V90
Second V90 generation (introduced for 2017), after the 2021 mid-cycle styling refresh; 2023 was a trim and equipment reorganization year, not a redesign.
Volvo positions the V90 Cross Country as a large luxury wagon for travel and outdoor exploration without moving to an SUV. Its raised suspension, standard AWD, off-road driving mode and hill-descent control add all-weather and light-trail capability, while the long wagon body provides useful passenger and cargo space. Its main distinctions are understated Scandinavian design, comfort-focused seating, extensive driver assistance and a lower, more car-like shape than most luxury crossovers.
The B6 Plus Cross Country is the well-equipped core model, with a 295-hp mild-hybrid engine, AWD, a panoramic roof and Volvo’s major driver-assistance features. The higher trim emphasizes long-distance comfort with ventilated and massaging Nappa leather front seats, Harman Kardon audio and a head-up display.
