2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country
The 2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country continues to bridge the gap between luxury wagons and SUVs, offering a unique blend of style, performance, and practicality. With its sleek European design and ground clearance higher than that of a traditional wagon, this versatile vehicle combines the elegance of a premium estate with the capability of an all-terrain vehicle.
Powered by a supercharged and turbocharged engine, the V90 Cross Country provides responsive performance while maintaining the practicality of a spacious wagon. Standard all-wheel drive ensures confident handling in various weather conditions. Inside, Volvo's signature Scandinavian design creates a luxurious and serene environment. The spacious interior offers comfort and functionality, making it ideal for daily commutes and long road trips. In a minor change for 2025, the topmost trim has been renamed from Ultimate to Ultra. Buyers of the 2025 V90 Cross Country get their first three scheduled service visits at no cost for 3 years or 30,000 miles through the Volvo Complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance Program.
Trims and Powertrain
The 2025 V90 Cross Country is presented in two all-wheel-drive trims: Plus and Ultra. Their 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine uses a turbocharger and an electric supercharger to produce a lively 295 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission manages delivery of that power, while a mild-hybrid system with regenerative braking enhances fuel efficiency. The EPA has determined that the V90 Cross Country achieves 22 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. It has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when it’s properly equipped. Volvo offers a Polestar Engineered Optimization software upgrade to improve mid-range engine performance with more precision and balance, better throttle response, and optimized shifting of gears. Buyers of the Ultra may also add an adaptive suspension.
Standard Features
As you’d expect from Volvo, the base trim, the Plus, is stacked with amenities, starting with leather upholstery, open-pore wood interior trim, a panoramic moonroof with sunshade, an advanced cabin air purifier, and a power tailgate. Its comfort and convenience features include quad-zone automatic climate control, proximity keyless entry, power-retractable side-view mirrors, heated power front seats with lumbar support, roof rails, adaptive power steering, and a driver's memory system. It also has fog lights, a 12-inch instrument panel, rear privacy glass, windshield wipers with integrated washers, and 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
The Ultra trim earns its moniker with Nappa leather upholstery, an Orrefors crystal shift knob, a tailored dashboard and door top panels, a head-up display, rear door sunshades, and 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Its next-level front seats are definitely the ultimate, with ventilation, massage, enhanced power lumbar control, power side bolsters, a power cushion extension for the driver, and a front passenger memory system. It also has a feature called afterrun climate, which continues to bring in fresh air for 15 minutes after the engine is shut off in warm weather. This is helpful should you wish to stay in the vehicle for a short time with the ignition off. Both V90 Cross Country trims are eligible for the Climate Package, which will add a heated steering wheel, heated rear outboard seats, and headlamp washers.
Advanced Driver Aids and Safety Technology
Safety has long been a defining characteristic of the Volvo brand, and the V90 Cross Country upholds that with its comprehensive array of safety features. These advanced technologies consist of Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view monitor, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert with autobrake, lane-keeping assist, oncoming lane mitigation, and rear collision warning. Front and rear parking sensors, a road sign information display, and slippery road alert are also standard.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The V90 Cross Country’s dash has a 9-inch, portrait-style infotainment touchscreen as its centerpiece. This multimedia system is based on Google built-in features (such as Google Maps, Google Play, and Google Assistant) and has class-best navigation plus Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Bluetooth. The Plus trim has a 220-watt sound system with ten speakers that can be upgraded to a 14-speaker Harman Kardon system with an air-ventilated subwoofer. The Ultra gets the Harmon Kardon setup standard but is eligible for the available Bowers &;amp Wilkins 1,410-watt with an acoustic mode selector and 19 speakers with stainless-steel panels.
Buyers also get a four-year subscription to the Volvo Cars app, which provides connected services such as emergency support, vehicle monitoring, and remote features such as locking/unlocking and remote climate control via your smartphone or digital assistant. It even has a journal feature that’s useful for those who drive frequently for business.
