The V90 was axed from the Canadian lineup in 2020, then came back two years later exclusively in V90 Cross Country configuration. The only engine available, codenamed B6, is a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit producing 295 horsepower, with mild hybrid technology adding an extra 13 ponies. Power is handled by an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system. The days of Volvo’s large wagon are numbered with the fully electric EX90 crossover ready to take its spot.
The Volvo V90 Cross Country has silently returned to Canada following a two-year hiatus. It doesn’t look that different from the model that first launched in 2017. Built on the same Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) as the XC60 and XC90 crossovers, the rugged Swedish wagon is now available in a …

But we’re automotive journalists, who …

ÅRE, Sweden — If there’s one thing selling faster than hotcakes in Canada right now, it’s sport utility vehicles. With very few exceptions, however, they aren’t particularly utilitarian or sporty. Thankfully, a few tough, svelte and spry steeds are effortlessly breezing past the herd that so often drags its hooves.
Even though SUVs are more popular in the U.S., Canadians love their wagons. After all, they’re comfortable, spacious and offer a more eye-catching and refined style (in my opinion, anyway). But salespeople looking to sell you a pseudo-truck often use the same argument: in Canadian road conditions and weather, SUVs …
Believe it or not, there are still some people out there who won’t systematically purchase the biggest SUV that their budget will allow them to, as soon as the concept of interior space comes into play. These consumers generally choose a vehicle capable of hauling a large quantity of stuff, …
If I say Volvo, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Perhaps a big, luxurious, comfortable sedan? Or maybe a brown wagon? Unfortunately, the Swedish brand hasn’t been competitive in this segment for quite some time: its S80 hasn’t been updated since the Cretaceous period and its only wagon, …
Volvo today announced a few updates to its large cars including the S90 sedan and V90/V90 Cross Country wagon. First, the fog lights, lower front bumper and rear spoiler all feature a new design, although only a keen eye will tell the difference. Same thing for the taillights on the …

Early in 2017, the Swedish police force will take delivery of an all-new patrol car, the 2017 Volvo V90 wagon. According to the manufacturer, their V90 not only passed the rigorous driving tests conducted by Swedish police, but it obtained the highest rating to date. Since police cars are also …
