The 2025.5 Volvo XC90: Specs, Performance & More

A mid-model-year redesign, the 2025.5 Volvo XC90 is intriguing for more than just its rare ".5" year designation. Indeed, from the ultra-sleek, beautifully intriguing bodywork to the finely tailored cabin atmosphere, everything about it is new and improved. Below lies your introduction to the new 2025.5 Volvo XC90 – a test drive at our dealership, Volvo Cars West Houston, will be your guide to its complete specs, features, and on-road experience.

2025.5 Volvo XC90 Redesign Details

The 2025.5 Volvo XC90 is almost all-new. We say "almost" because three things remain the same as the 2025 model: a focus on safety and sustainable luxury, a set of two powertrains (and their respective specs, like the B5 AWD's 247 horsepower), and three iconic trim levels. The 2025.5 Volvo XC90 dimensions are also noticeably similar, including interior specs like 85.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo room.

As you can see from the 2025.5 Volvo XC90 pictures, the overall silhouette is very similar, but details like the headlights, grille, individual bodywork accents, and wheels are different.

With elements like graphic-design-inspired chrome slats in the grille, this Volvo XC90 redesign brings in cues from the Volvo EX90 and combines them with a distinct new styling language; every word in that language translates to "beautiful." Such definitions certainly apply to the interior, too – it takes inspiration from the Volvo EX90 while making things its own. A floating 11.2-inch touchscreen, upholsteries like Nordico synthetic leather, an available Bowers & Wilkins® sound system with Room Transformation modes, and more make the 2025.5 Volvo XC90 a distinct member of the next-generation Volvo SUV family.
