TCC’s Bottom Line

The styling may be polarizing, but the comfortable, spacious interior and muscular turbo V-6 still make the MKT an outside pick against luxury crossovers.

The 2017 Volvo XC90 is comfortable, capable, and only whispers its virtues—reinterpreting the Volvo brand as quiet sophistication in comfort, style, and efficiency.

TCC Likes

Spacious for people and luggage
Super-supportive seats
Strong turbo V-6

Quietly elegant, luxurious interior
Restrained exterior design
Sensus interface intuitive, pad-like

TCC Dislikes

Bulbous back end
Third-row seating access
Falling behind in safety ratings

Design may not say luxury
Certain safety systems optional
One USB port for seven seats?
