2008 Volvo XC90

Safe, comfortable, versatile. edited by New Car Test Drive

Summary

2008 Volvo XC90

The Volvo XC90 packs a lot of space into a good-looking, manageably sized vehicle. It's better than most competitors for hauling children around, with superior cargo and seating flexibility, and it's loaded with Volvo's trademark safety technology. It's available with fuel-saving front-wheel drive if a buyer doesn't really need all-wheel-drive capability. The upgrade XC90 V8 is appealing and invigorating, but the base XC90 3.2 six-cylinder is better than adequate for nearly all purposes, and it represents a much better value.

NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Sam Moses reported from the Columbia River Gorge, with Larry Edsall in Gothenburg, Sweden, Mitch McCullough in Los Angeles, and J.P. Vettraino in Detroit.
