Volvo xc90 Honda cr-v

The 2013 Volvo XC90 offers outstanding safety scores, but critics say its underwhelming engine, outdated tech features and cramped back seats can’t keep pace with its rivals.The Volvo XC90 has a standard six-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive on all trims. All-wheel drive is optional. Test drivers think the XC90’s engine lacks the gusto of many rivals and reviewers are disappointed with its lack of steering feel. While critics note that the XC90’s comfortable ride will suit most drivers, one test driver prefers the R-Design model’s sportier suspension and firmer ride. Both front- and all-wheel drive models get an EPA-estimated 16/23 mpg city/highway, which is good for the class, but trails the Lexus RX 350. Keep in mind that the XC90's reliabilty score is below average for the class.

Inside, reviewers say the seven-seat XC90 is well-built, and has plush, supportive front seats, but many critics find that the XC90’s second- and third-row seats are a squeeze for adults. They point out that the third-row seats should be left to children and even then, are difficult to access. The auto press says the XC90’s optional navigation system is a bit outdated when compared to more contemporary SUVs and has oddly-placed controls that are difficult to learn how to use. Likewise, reviewers say the audio controls are difficult to master. While the XC90 has ample cargo space, writers are highly disappointed with the 8.8 cubic feet of space that's available when all seats are in use.

The 2013 Volvo XC90 comes in two models: 3.2 and 3.2 R-Design, with each offered in base, premier plus or platinum trims. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available on all trims. For 2013, the XC90 has a refreshed exterior and now has standard rain-sensing windshield wipers. The XC90 doesn’t have many significant changes for 2013, and as a result, this overview uses applicable research and reviews from model years 2007 through 2013.
