2024 Volvo XC90: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2024 Volvo XC90 is that the chrome-accented Bright exterior treatment became standard across the lineup. This is a light trim and equipment update, not a redesign; the B5, B6, and T8 powertrains carry over unchanged.
About the 2024 Volvo XC90
2nd generation, late-cycle pre-refresh year before the 2025.5 exterior, cabin, touchscreen, and suspension update
Volvo positions the XC90 as a three-row luxury family SUV centered on occupant protection, calm Scandinavian design, flexible passenger space, and electrified powertrains. Its defining strengths are an uncluttered cabin, extensive driver-assistance technology, a built-in second-row booster cushion, and a choice of mild-hybrid or plug-in-hybrid performance. It is aimed at families seeking comfort and safety without the aggressive styling or overt sport focus of many competing luxury SUVs.
The 2024 XC90 lineup ranges from the family-focused Core, with a panoramic roof and Pilot Assist, to Plus trims with leather, heated rear seats, and a 360-degree parking camera. B6 models use the stronger 295-hp mild hybrid, while the 455-hp T8 Recharge plug-in hybrid has an EPA-rated 32-mile electric range. The highest equipment level adds a head-up display, premium audio, quieter laminated side glass, and upgraded front seats.

Tech
Laminated side windows became standard on the highest B6 and T8 Recharge equipment levels, helping create a quieter cabin.
