Record summary
What to know first
All three trims come standard with the 247-hp B5 engine, with the 295-hp B6 available as an upgrade; the T8 plug-in hybrid at 455 hp is offered independently of trim level. MY2027 is a minor update continuing the 2025.5 refresh, not a new generation.
Model-year note
Maximum towing is 5,000 lb (the most recent published figure was 2026, carried forward; Volvo had not yet published 2027-specific towing at last check). B5, B6 and T8 are all offered across Core, Plus and Ultra, so engine and trim vary independently on the XC90. The 2027 model adds a new Forest Lake Metallic exterior color and carries forward the 2025.5 refresh's revised cabin styling and larger infotainment touchscreen, with no trim or powertrain structure change.
