Volvo XC90 Engine Specs

The Volvo XC90 has a great towing capacity because it features fantastic powertrain options. The primary option is the B5 AWD, which pairs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with all-wheel drive. This B5 configuration outputs 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Volvo XC90 vehicles with this powertrain can tow up to 5,000 pounds.¹

The next powertrain option is the available B6 AWD, which keeps the excellent elements of the B5 but boosts performance to 295 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Thankfully, you'll get the same all-wheel-drive capabilities that make traversing challenging terrain simple. You'll also get the same 5,000-pound towing capacity.¹

The 2024 Volvo XC90 lineup includes three trim levels, all of which come with mild-hybrid technology. These models use regenerative braking to store a little kinetic energy in the onboard hybrid battery. You won't need to worry about plugging in for a charge, but you will garner excellent fuel economy for a three-row family SUV. Schedule a test drive at our dealership near Cypress, TX, to explore this feature or this model's plug-in hybrid sibling, the Volvo XC90 Recharge, which boasts the same impressive towing capability when properly equipped.

The Volvo XC90 is not the only vehicle that uses a version of a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. It is found across the Volvo lineup, including on the Volvo XC60 for sale at our dealership.

Volvo XC90 Performance Features

Every Volvo XC90 enjoys a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. Steering is responsive and dynamic, allowing you to take corners well — especially considering the three-row size of this premium SUV. An optional air suspension upgrade will make you feel as if you're driving on clouds, but even without it, the Volvo XC90 is a comfortable ride.

The Volvo XC90 towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds¹ is just one of the impressive features that this vehicle boasts. The car's gas mileage specs are also pretty eye-catching. The B5 powertrain with all-wheel drive gets an EPA-estimated 22/27/24 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).² The B6 configuration has an EPA-estimated 20/26/23 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).²

Things get especially interesting on this front when we turn to the 2024 Volvo XC90 Recharge. Between its turbo- and supercharged engine and the battery-and-motor plug-in hybrid system, it gets a jaw-dropping EPA-estimated 58 MPGe (Combined).³ A number like that will help you enjoy your drives near Katy, TX, even more.
