Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The XC90 seats up to 7 passengers in the standard configuration, with third-row air conditioning keeping everyone comfortable on longer drives along the Carolina coast. The 6-seat layout swaps the second-row bench for individual seats and suits buyers who prioritize rear-passenger space over maximum headcount.
Cargo flexibility is strong. Behind the third row, 11 cu ft of usable space handles everyday loads. Fold the third row and that grows to 34 cu ft. Maximum cargo capacity reaches 64 cu ft with both rear rows folded. The power liftgate, stainless steel tailgate scuff plate, and cargo-area power outlet add practical utility at the rear.
Interior materials on all trims include quilted Nordico upholstery, a leather-free bio-attributed textile that Volvo positions as its sustainable luxury alternative. Brown Ash genuine wood decor, high-level ambient illumination, an Orrefors crystal gear selector knob, and a charcoal headliner give the cabin a Scandinavian character that stands apart from typical American luxury SUV interiors.
Power front seats with driver memory, two-way power lumbar, heated front and rear seats, rear door sun curtains, and a four-zone climate system mean each of the four primary occupants controls their own environment independently.
