It is available with five seats and for an extra charge seven seats. With its length of 4.80 meters and height of 1.78 meters, it offers plenty of space and comfort in the interior. Its competitors are in the market Mercedes M-Class i BMW X5.
The boot volume varies with the number of seats in this SUV from 483 liters to 1837 liters. While driving is not as agile as its competitors, many customers still opt for comfort over longer journeys, and the Volvo XC90 certainly does.
The perfect ideal car, in addition to comfort, is also made of high safety and material quality.

The ride in it is really enjoyable and can be real fun because they are in Volvo The XC90 was able to find the right balance between off-road features and ride comfort. The feel behind the wheel is like in a sedan, although it lacks feel. The curves on more demanding roads have a bit more tilting and that makes its competitor BMW X5 better.
