The 2018 Volvo XC90 range of configurations is currently priced from $32,990.
Our most recent review of the 2018 Volvo XC90 resulted in a score of 8.1 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: The XC90 may have been the first of Volvo's new breed of cars, but it remains exceptional in its styling, refinement, technology and safety. The R-Design trim level makes it the burger with almost the lot in that it still gives you room to option more and doesn't assume you want, say a sunroof, when you might not.

The 2018 Volvo XC90 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2400 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Volvo XC90 2018 prices range from $41,030 for the basic trim level SUV D5 Inscription to $100,650 for the top of the range SUV T8 Excellence Hybrid.
The Volvo XC90 is a terrific luxury SUV, one that offers plenty of high-end technology and luxury appointments, plus with enough room for seven adults if need be. It's an inescapable fact that the Volvo is on the expensive side - if you consider a petrol engine version with sporty styling - the T6 R-Design would be the go-to option - and at about $105,000 before on-road costs and options, you're likely to see a lot of value in a like-for-like comparison against the Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD (which is about $65,000 before on-road costs, and there are hardly any options to choose).
The Volvo doesn't excite the senses as much as a Mazda CX-9, and if that's important to you, then we'd suggest the Japanese seven-seat SUV is the better option. But it is hard to argue against the Volvo's driveway cred, and if you can afford it without stretching the budget, then it's definitely worth a test drive.
