When you run crash tests on Volvo models, you’re not testing the Volvos, you’re seeing how accurate your crash tests are. If you get anything less than 5-Stars, you probably need to recalibrate your methods. Volvo offers a limited but impressive lineup for 2020.
What models does Volvo make?
- XC90: $60,083 – $72,801
- XC60: $40,150 – $69,500
- XC40: $33,700 – $42,450
- V90: $48,447 – $54,322
- S60: $33,401 – $38,460
Some drivers criticize Volvo for making fairly basic, simple cars without a lot of modern styling or bells and whistles. The V90 is basically the car from Vacation minus the wood paneling. But Volvo is the perfect car when you prefer safety and reliability to flash.
XC90: $60,083 – $72,801
The XC90 is basically the Volvo luxury SUV, but don’t compare it to an Escalade. Think of it as Luxury-lite. You can add leather seats and a Harman/Kardon Premium audio system, but the main draw is that this is one of the safest SUVs, ever.
That’s because it’s a Volvo, but it’s also because of BLIS blind spot monitoring, city safety and cross-traffic alert, control systems for traction, stability and roll stability, and lane departure warning.
Volvos aren’t the most exciting SUVs on the market, but they are the most reasonable.
Basic Specs:
- MPG City/Highway: 21/30
- Engine: 400 horsepower 2.0L 16V I4 Supercharged Turbo Drive/250 horsepower 2.0L 16V Inline 4
- Transmission: 8 Speed Automatic w/OD
- Seating: 6-7
Safety Ratings:
- NHTSA: 5-Stars
- IIHS: Top Safety Pick+
XC60: $40,150 – $69,500
Sure, you can find more powerful SUVs than the XC60, but the 400 horsepower supercharged 2.0L engine makes this one a beast by Volvo model standards.
You can add heated seats, and some nice features like remote keyless entry and a high-performance audio system with two LCD monitors come standard.
With Volvo, you’ll find that while the interior features don’t come with a lot of exciting gadgets, nothing’s really missing, either, and their safety feature suites are second to none.
Basic Specs:
- MPG City/Highway: 22/29
- Engine: 250 horsepower 2.0L 16V DI I4 Turbocharged/400 horsepower 2.0L 16V DI I4 Turbocharged-Supercharged
- Transmission: 8 Speed Automatic w/OD
- Seating: 5
Safety Ratings:
- NHTSA: 5-Stars
- IIHS: Top Safety Pick
XC40: $33,700 – $42,450
With 8.3 inches of ground clearance, an all-wheel-drive option, and up to 252 horsepower, the XC40 is a pretty solid off-roader for a Volvo model. But, it’s intended for the street.
At 174.2 x 73.3 x 65.3 inches in length, width and height, and just under 5,000 pounds in gross vehicle weight, this SUV is not exactly a compact city car, but it’s a little zippier than most vehicles in its class.
Leather seating surfaces come standard, as do push-button start and trailer sway control with towing equipment. This is about as sporty as a Volvo SUV can get.
Basic Specs:
- MPG City/Highway: 23/33
- Engine: 252 horsepower 2.0L 16V DI I4 Turbocharged Drive
- Transmission: 8 Speed Automatic w/OD
- Seating: 5
Safety Ratings:
- NHTSA: 5-Stars
- IIHS: Good
V90: $48,447 – $54,322
This ain’t your daddy’s station wagon! It has more safety features than his did. Like DSTC/RSC stability control, Volvo on-call emergency SOS and BLIS blind spot with steer assist.
The station-wagon style hatchback look has fallen out of favor in recent years, essentially being absorbed into the crossover SUV market. But there’s something about those long-but-short bodies that screams “road trip.”
Interior features include all the basics with some nice leather and metal-look trim, and an option for heated sport seats up front.
Basic Specs:
- MPG City/Highway: 22/33
- Engine: 250 horsepower 2.0L 16V I4 Turbocharged/330 horsepower 2.0L 16V I4 Supercharged Turbo
- Transmission: 8 Speed Automatic w/OD
- Seating: 5
Safety Ratings:
- Euro NCAP: 5-Stars
- IIHS: Good
S60: $33,401 – $38,460
A classic Volvo sedan. Simple but elegant. Spacious, but easy to drive. Comfortable but not extravagant. If you just want the safest sedan you can get, this is it.
You have the option of heated bucket seats, or 8-way manual adjust with leatherette trim. The leather and metal-look steering wheel comes standard, as do some nice one-touch power windows.
Smart device integration, two LCD monitors up front, Sensus connect hotspot internet access, and cruise control with steering wheel controls, all make for an easy ride.
