    The upgraded 2025 Volvo XC90 is now on sale, bringing refreshed styling and more standard equipment, but slightly higher prices and one less model variant.

    The entry-level Ultra B5 Bright version of the large SUV is priced at $104,990 before on-road costs, up $3252 on its predecessor.

    It features a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine coupled with a 48V mild-hybrid system, producing 183kW of power and 350Nm of torque.

    The flagship Ultra T8 Plug-in Hybrid is priced at $130,990 before on-roads, up $801. This mates a 233kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo four with a 107kW/309Nm electric motor, producing up to 340kW/709Nm and offering a claimed WLTP electric-only range of 77km from an 18.8kWh battery.

    The Ultra B6 Bright, which had a more powerful turbocharged 2.0-litre mild-hybrid powertrain than the B5, is no longer available.

    For 2025, the upgraded seven-seat, all-wheel drive luxury SUV features revised headlights and tail-lights, plus a new grille and air intakes.

    Inside, it has upgraded from a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen to a higher-resolution 11.2-inch unit, which retains Android Automotive with Google built-in, along with wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity.

    The cabin is now quieter due to increased sound insulation, while the centre console has been tweaked, the crystal-like gear selector redesigned, and the dashboard refreshed. There’s also an extra cupholder.

    Volvo claims the XC90’s suspension has been improved, with each damper “now able to adapt mechanically to current road conditions to optimise both comfort and stability – for a more confident and relaxed driving experience.”

    Servicing information has yet to be outlined, and the updated XC90 is yet to be crash-tested by ANCAP or its sister organisation Euro NCAP. We’ll update this article if that changes.

    Servicing and Warranty

    Volvo Australia backs its cars with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and its high-voltage electric and PHEV batteries with an eight-year, 160,000km warranty. It is yet to outline servicing information for the updated XC90.

    Servicing and WarrantyVolvo XC90
    Vehicle warranty5 years, unlimited kilometres
    Battery warranty8 years, 160,000km
    Roadside assistance5 years

    For context, Volvo Australia offers three-year, 45,000km and five-year, 75,000km service plans for its vehicles. For the pre-update XC90, these cost $2380 and $3870 respectively.

    It’s likely the updated XC90 will have the same service intervals (12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first) as its predecessor, but it’s not yet clear whether servicing requirements will differ for PHEV vehicles.
